Last week, I didn’t post anything to the blog. That’s because I was out of the country, snowshoeing in the mountains of Austria. I can still feel the stress of climbing steep slopes in my knees, but the views were worth it. Unfortunately, as you can see from this shot, there wasn’t much in the … Continue reading Snowshoeing in Austria is a Photographer’s Dream
I was laid up ill for most of last week. This week I’m feeling a lot better but still not 100%. I did however manage to get out for a brief (very chilly) walk on Wednesday.

I originally set … Continue reading Fortunate Landscape Photography
You may have noticed that I haven’t posted anything for a couple of weeks. The reason for this is that I’ve been on one of those rare things called a holiday.
