  Yesterday, I went down to Cornwall and cycled the Camel Trail - 40 odd miles of woodland, river, and estuary. This is the halfway and turnaround point at Padstow Harbour. #Photography #Cycling #Cornwall #Boats #BikeTooter

  This is King John's Hunting Lodge, which can be found in Axbridge - the 'smallest town in Somerset'. Oddly, it was never either a hunting lodge or anything to do with King John. It's actually a wool merchant's house, built in 1460, and is currently a small museum. #Photography #History #Architecture #Somerset

  I saw this dramatic, underground construction in the salt mines of Wieliczka last year. There were an awful lot of tree trunks deployed in it, and they were all painted white. #Photography #TextureTuesday #ThickTrunkTuesday #Underground #Monochrome

  There's always one who wants to stand out in a crowd. I'm not sure I'd ever seen a sheep do this before... #Photography #MonochromeMonday #SpotColour #Sheep #Animals

  A cloudburst in the Sonoran Desert. Sometimes, the land will turn from baked to flooded in a matter of minutes, which can be quite frightening. We could really do with some heavy rain round here just now though. There hasn't been a drop in over a month, and we normally get about 900mm a year... #Photography #Landscape #Nature #Rain #Drought #ClimateChange

  The yellow plums are the first crop to ripen in our community orchard this year. They make great jam and crumbles. #Photography #Gardening #Fruit #Produce

  Down on the shores of the Mediterranean, in Tunisia, the breeze eddies the fine sand around under sturdy sunshades... #Photography #Beach #MeerMittwoch #Sand #Shadow #Psychogeography

  All the recent fuss about the arrival of the Bayeux Tapestry in London reminded me of my visit, last year, to the alleged grave of King Harold, in Waltham Abbey. If you look carefully, you can see his memorial at the bottom left, by the wall of the Abbey Church. It was a black day for England when William the Bastard became king and stole everyone's land. A millennium later, we're still suffering after effects from the introduction of a feudal aristocracy. #Photography #History

  I was sat at a pavement café yesterday afternoon when I noticed this chimney, opposite. My first thought was: 'I bet those ferns aren't enjoying this 30° heatwave very much'... #Photography #Silhouette #Psychogeography #StreetPhotography

  This is a souvenir from my trip to Rotterdam a few weeks ago. The city turned out to be much nicer to look at, and built on a more human scale, than I'd imagined. #Photography #Netherlands #Canal #Boat #Cityscape #Psychogeography

  Last weekend, I went looking for this structure. It's a replica of a section of the 'Sweet Track' - a Neolithic walkway in the Avalon Marshes. The original was 2 km long, and built in the spring of 3806 BCE. It's named after the peat cutter who first discovered it, in 1970. #History #Photography #Archaeology #Somerset

  Yesterday, I cycled over 25 miles on gravel trails. The scenery was good, but the only cool point in the trip was going through this disused railway tunnel. #Photography #Cycling #Heat

  I'm useless at painting and drawing, but sometimes I can create a photograph that looks a bit like a painting. This Australian scene reminds me of some of the C19th landscape works I've encountered. #Photography #Landscape #Australia #Painting

  Sometimes I go to the beach and it's all about the far horizon, the waves hitting the shore, big skies, and sunshine. But other times, it turns out to be all about the detail, and the beauty to be found in small, random things... #MeerMittwoch #Photography #Beach #Colours #Sea #Psychogeography

  This may look like an abstract design, but it's actually the view up through a stairwell. I love a good stairwell, me - and a good, Modernist stairwell presses several buttons at the same time... #Photography #MonochromeMonday #BlackAndWhite #Abstract #Stairs #Modernism #Architecture #Psychogeography
