  2. Today’s Photo Warmth Over Silverdale. Well, this is a nice thing to wake up to a Saturday morning: 10,000 followers on Google+! I am humbled… how did this happen? Anyhoo, thanks to all those who have Circled me on Google+ and enjoy my work… you make it all worth while. =) As a present, please enjoy this photo: this is the shore at Silverdale, Lancashire. Me and Lisabet enjoying the sunset on the last evening of our break. The Silverdale shore has lots of delicious grassy and rocky textures that make it a veritable composition playground for the likes of me. Add in a calm bay, a soft sky and delicious sunbursts and you’ve got a Happy Hex. =D You should order a beautiful print of this photo right here. Today’s Photo Warmth Over Silverdale.

  3. Today’s Photo Mysterious Forest.It was fun, if creepy, to play around Fell Wood near the summit of Pendle Hill with Bamber. This scene, in particular, opened itself to me; a shining light piercing the canopy of the forest and illuminating this broken tree stump… Today’s Photo Mysterious Forest.It was fun, if creepy, to play around Fell Wood near the summit of Pendle Hill with Bamber.

  4. Today’s Photo Joy of Discovery. Hello! I am now all moved into the Lakes with my Lovely Lady Lisabet =) To celebrate, apart from making some kick-ass chilli, here’s a photo: this is shot from around the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Lancashire. This brook streaming down from the fells was a wonderful little find after the disappointment of not being able to shoot Grizedale Lea with Bamber =) Enjoy your day/evening!

  7. Today’s Photo Lancaster Fall. Williamson Park in Lancaster, in the thick of autumn. =) This was definitely one of those moments where I wished my tripod could get lower to the ground. Need a better tripod… Interestingly, the name “Lancaster” simply means “the castle by the river Lune”. Probably Celtic in origin. Me and Lisabet once noted that the further north in England you get, the more you realise that places are named after descriptions of the area, whereas further south places tend to be named after people.

  8. Today’s Photo Timeless Shore.The ancient coastline of Heysham, Lancashire. There were so many compositions to shoot around here with Lisabet, what with the giant rocks like these and the black, rocky shoreline covered in parts with brilliant green moss… =)Taken as the sun was setting, I was aiming for a gloriously pink sunset and a composition further back as a result, but the cloud cover got thicker and thicker as the sun set. I hate it when nature doesn’t co-operate. Today’s Photo Timeless Shore.The ancient coastline of Heysham, Lancashire.

  9. Today’s Photo Building What’s Been Before.In my last shot of the shoreline of Heysham I mentioned the ruins of St. Patrick’s Chapel, high on a hill overlooking the shore…Well, here they are. =)The original chapel was built around 750AD, contrary to the actual St. Patrick dying around 490AD; as a result, this make’s St. Patrick’s Chapel one of the oldest sites of a Christian building in the entire North-West of England. Neat, huh?It stands on a headland above St Peter’s Church, and has been designated by the English Heritage as a Grade I listed building, and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.What’s interesting about this place, and in particular its precise location, is that it doesn’t seem to have been the first site of significance: in April 1993, an excavation took place on the land below the stone coffins; 1,200 artefacts were recovered, which showed that the site had been occupied about 12,000 years ago.Isn’t it interesting how humans gravitate towards certain areas of geography for similar purposes throughout the ages? =)This was the last shot of me and Lisabet’s stroll around the shore of Heysham, as blue hour descended and the moon rose… Today’s Photo Building What’s Been Before.In my last shot of the shoreline of Heysham I mentioned the ruins of St. Patrick’s Chapel, high on a hill overlooking the shore…Well, here they are. =)The original chapel was built around 750AD, contrary to the actual St. Patrick dying around 490AD; as a result, this make’s St. Patrick’s Chapel one of the oldest sites of a Christian building in the entire North-West of England.

  10. Today’s Photo Chapel On The ShoreHello! Possibly my last image before Christmas. =)Welcome to Coffin Beach at Heysham, Lancashire. Heysham is, these days, perhaps more well-known for the two nuclear stations further up the shore, but the shore front near the village itself, here, is much nicer. Despite it being winter, there was still plenty of green grass and luminescent moss everywhere, giving me and Lisabet lots of opportunity to compose shots for colour. =) It was definitely tricky though, it was mega windy round here!Up on the hill to the right, you can see the 1,200-year old ruins of St. Patrick’s Chapel, one of the oldest Christian buildings in the entire Northwest of England.
