Some images from a while back on a trip out to the local to me, Bow Wood near Cromford. I initially went to shoot the bluebells there, which were absolutely fantastic. A lot in open area on the hillside as well as thick in the woods. Unfortunately, as my first trip there I didn’t know … Read more

Arbor Low is a neolithic stone circle located near Monyash in the Peak District. A couple of months back I revisited this location for sunset. It was looking promising and I was just down the road in Buxton so made a quick dash for it. Not only did I want to capture the stone circle … Read more
A month ago (wow already) I visited Switzerland. I had wanted to see the Matterhorn for years, with it’s unique profile recognisable to many. I finally had the opportunity to go, so me and my girlfriend decided to book it and take the long drive over there to visit Zermatt and the Matterhorn stopping in … Read more
Solomons Temple is a Victorian hill marker on Grin Low just outside of Buxton and can be seen from miles around, especially when coming off the last stretch of the Cat and Fiddle. I decided to do a sunset shoot there the other week. I had been previously with low lying fog shrouding Buxton below … Read more

Kinder Downfall is the largest waterfall in the Peak District at 30 metres tall. However, that said in the drier spells it’s confined to a mere trickle and doesn’t look anything impressive. However when the wind is blowing strong in south westerly direction after some fair rain one of the most unique spectacles in the … Read more

In fact, it’s an art form sometimes to discard images when you’ve been to a … Read more
Autumn in the Peak District is officially over so I thought I’d share some of my images I took of this spectacular season of colour before winter takes its full grasp on us. With last winter being somewhat stretched out, it seemed to push Autumn back somewhat. I usually aim for the pinnacle of Autumn … Read more
