Shipley Wharf Canal View

A timeless view along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal at Shipley Wharf. A photo taken in 2016. A view of Shipley Wharf, on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, looking towards Liverpool. Two centuries ago the canal was in use. This view would have looked very similar, though the sky would likely have been full of the smoke from the factory chimneys....

Hunting a grey heron at the local lake. A frequent visitor at one time, this bird continually eluded my efforts for a photo. Finally got him!

Waiting for a Bite

A fisherman's rod in the sand at Umhlanga, waiting for a bite. Gone fishing. A fisherman's rod standing in the sand waiting for a bite. Ships on the horizon queue to get into Durban harbour. Incredible light on the whole scene as the sun attempts to get through the cloud cover. Photos from our Durban Trip, 2016.

Zimbabwe Bush Road

Common bush road view in Zimbabwe Zimbabwe Bush Road The dirt road, cattle grid, road sign and local residents walking. Somehow this is a picture of Zimbabwe which sticks in my mind. When I was a child, about 7 years old, my Dad was managing the construction of the Silalabuhwa and Thuli-Makwe dams. During school holidays I often went with him on site visits....

Untitled

A tremendous yellow and orange sunset. Bush Sunset A tremendous sunset over open land somewhere in the bush. Actually I have no clue when or where this was taken. I believe it was around 1987 on a plot we were living on at the edge of Greendale, in Harare, Zimbabwe. It may well have been taken in Dundee, South Africa around 1990, while we were living there. Nevertheless it remains a favourite of mine, with its colour transition from white and yellow, through orange to night time darkness.
