Life – Photography – Travel & Max The Border Terrier
The old saying is "Absence makes the heart grow fonder", if this is true then you dear reader must love me a very much by now. Its been quite a while, in which time I found lots of things to do and lots of things were found for me to do by "She who must... Continue Reading →
This is a photo I took one evening last year on a photo club trip to Central Milton Keynes while the Covid epidemic was still around, hence the 'Hands, Face, Space' mantra on the side of the shelter.
I often see cars parked outside the local Aston Martin workshop waiting to go in or maybe awaiting collection or delivery. I never really thought to photograph them until the other day but here are two. I guess I just used to take them for granted but they are real works of art. This looks... Continue Reading →

A stormy sea and the railway at Dawlish, Devon
Some pictures from our recent trip to Devon
Last week I went out to put into practice the knowledge I had gained from my studies on Hyperfocal focussing.

A Cold wintery walk along a part of the Icknield Way in the Chiltern Hills between Aldbury and Ivinghoe. The autumnal, wintery look of the trees and first signs of Spring on the ground with Snowdrops and Celandines making their presence felt.

I remember my Mum and Dad taking me to London to see the exhibition on the South Bank (Festival of Britain - Wikipedia). I was 8 years old at the time, just over seven decades... Continue Reading →

Most of the birds on the water seemed to be having a mid morning nap as there were not too many photo opportunities to be had... Continue Reading →
Harringworth Viaduct, near Corby.. 82 Arches..
OK Dad, I'll keep a look out while you go and eat..

Its an ancient woodland on top of the end of a ridge in Bedfordshire, north of Luton. The woods were allegedly haunted way back in time. Well, maybe they still are but it... Continue Reading →
Heres hoping 2022 is going to be a much better year than 2021 ! For so many reasons 2021 will take some beating as far as bad years go. Not only my personal reasons, which were about as bad as it could get but for everybody's life in general. I just want everything back to... Continue Reading →
This is the first time in three visits to the area that I found the harbour with any water in it. I have to say its better for having some water. It looks like it will get some more water soon, as you can see there was a storm brewing and we had a long... Continue Reading →
