The beautiful Beau Vallon beach in north Mahe. Taken in December , 2023, the sun sets over the granite hills of Morne Seychellois National Park in the distance. The monsoon clouds make for a dramatic close to the day.

The last colour of blue hour reflect off this lake and it’s tessellated ice.

The stunning snowy peaks of the Lofoten islands reflect off an ice crusted lake during blue hour.

The Canadian Rockies never cease to amaze. This is the route to the upper falls of Johnston Canyon, just off the Bow Valley Parkway between Banff and Lake Louise. The turquoise colour of the canyon rapids is never tiring to watch.

Moraine Lake has always been on my list of places to visit, having first seen a photo of it in a landscape photography calendar back in my youth. It’s simply perfection, from the snow dusted mountains, glacial water, and that turquoise colour of the lake is surreal, as too are the reflections.

The infamous Beachy Head lighthouse stands alone in the blue of the English Channel at dusk.

The upside of the summer rain in the north west of Tasmania is the volume of water over Dip Falls. Love this place!

Moon rise over Man O’War beach on Dorset’s Jurassic Coast.

The majestic arch of Durdle Door on Dorest’s Jurassic coast, taken at sunset.

The second highest peak on Achill Island, Slievemore, at sunrise, stands majestically over Dugort Strand and the rolling, metronomic waves of the Atlantic.

The stunning Corfe Castle, in Dorset under a majestic rainbow.

This cascade lies in Tourmakeady a small village that traverses the southern shores of stunning Lough Mask in County Mayo in the west of Ireland. A short walk through Tourmakeady woods and you will find these serene falls. Despite the marauding summer midges which conduct sortie after sortie on your scalp, there’s a fair chance you will have these falls all to yourself.

The sheer basalt columns of Old Bombo Quarry face up to the pounding Pacific, and have yet to yield.

The middle tier of Tasmania’s Liffey Falls cascades through ancient tree ferns and rain forest. An overcast day, in such dense rain forest made for low and diffuse light, ideal for a long exposure of the falls. 

The tessellated rock of Dip Falls in North Western Tasmania, is a signature of these falls and with such a flow of water in winter, a long exposure makes for this exquisite mosaic.

Dip Falls in north west Tasmania thunders in full flow over tessellated volcanic rock. A stunning waterfall.

Sunset over the stark, jagged, red lichen covered rocks that line the Rocky Cape peninsular in north west Tasmania. To the left of the little island you can make out the wisps of steam from Port Latta’s iron ore plant, and to the right of the setting sun, the Nut in Stanley is but a blimp. It was precarious clambering over these rocks to get to this vantage point, but the striking colours, the amazing geology and this view over Pebbly Bay and Bass Strait make it a worthy scramble.

The moon rises under the veil of a green and crimson Aurora.

A magnificent sunrise over Seattle from Kerry Park this morning. My first time seeing Mt Rainier from this vantage point.

The sun creates reddish hues over the Cascades and Mt Rainier, making this view of the Seattle skyline from Kerry Park extra special.

St Paul’s Cathedral is the centre piece over looking a beautifully lit Southwark Bridge and the Thames. Been meaning to get this shot for a few weeks after having walked by here before Christmas. Brought a long lens this time to grab this tight frame.

There is a certain something about long summer evenings on the Thames. Here’s the view this evening taken from the southern end of the Tower Bridge.

The view of Tower Bridge taken at dusk from the banks of the Thames. Yes, the banks of the Thames! I was fortunate that access to the bank was made possible by the gaffer allowing me to walk through the short archway just off Shad Thames, down worn stone steps to the stony bank, and actually doubly fortunate that it was low-tide. A stones throw away and Tower Bridge is teeming with traffic and onlookers, and behind me the nightlife of Butler’s wharf is all a buzz - yet here on this spot it was oddly quiet and I had this view all to myself. 

The light trails from a London bus and a festive Shard light up Southwark St. 

The lights of Seattle reflect brilliantly off the still Puget Sound.

Loved these iridescent reflections on the Thames on a still winters night. Taken from the shore of the river underneath the Millennium Bridge. Yes it was low tide! St Paul's to the left, then on the right the skyline of the Heron Tower, Leadenhall Building and then the Walkie Talkie. (20 Fenchurch St)

The beautiful metropolis that is Singapore, taken at dusk.

A beautiful summer's evening in London. This vantage point of this London icon is from Southwark St, round the corner from Borough Market. I had intended on doing a long exposure and this was my warm up frame. I couldn't better the light trails from other London buses that passed in other photos. Hat tip to the bus driver for the serendipitous timing.

This was the sea of red, 888,246 ceramic poppies surrounding the Tower of London in 2014. An incredible centennial tribute to the British fallen of WWI, and one I feel privileged to have seen.
