I never really shared enough from this day last autumn... it was a day primarily for walking, and was an extra-long one that I took way too long getting around due to the endless inversion views.

So we found ourselves here, very much in the dark but in a rush... still had more mountain to do... so I didn't get the tripod out and just stuck with trusting the power of computers these days to sort out the noise.

I believe, if memory serves me correctly... this is looking out across Harter Fell before our final walk up Pike O'Blisco.

Well... you all persuaded me... people do see things here... so here's one to really push the limits of Facebook, especially viewed on phones...

There's really no other way to make the most of this volcano view, We spent a few hours here perilously close to a group of Americans, on a tour, who somehow moved on just before sunset... allowing me to relax, but equally baffled by who they had booked for the tour.

It at least did reinforce that our expensive choice to rent a car rather than pay for tours did pay off. So that's a win.

First up... I am not saying this for attention or pity (or anything like that), I'm sure I just don't post enough. But that's down to a few things, the most important of which is that I am much more picky with when I think I've taken a good picture than I was 10 years ago.

Still, I average about 10 likes on here per photo, which just hardly seems worth the effort if so few people are seeing it. So please, if you do see it, like it, make sure you follow me... and go and click on my Instagram or website or what have you to keep up to date.

In the meantime, here's a dream come true from last month... Iguazu Falls in Brazil.

01/06/2026

It would have been wrong to visit the Atacama Desert and not spend at least a little time taking advantage of the dark sky, so on our last night there, after another long day, we headed off into the desert above San Pedro for a couple of hours. It's absolutely unbelievable how easy it is to do astrophotography here... I'd been told it gets cold at night, but nope... beautifully warm, calm and lovely. It felt odd taking photos at night and not being rushed by immediately losing all sensation in your fingers.

It was also amazing to be able to see the Large Magellanic Cloud with the naked eye, before then realising that I also captured the Small Magellanic Cloud (bottom centre) with the camera.

An hour or so in, Ana decided she wanted to head back to the car (having not brought a headtorch), but I persuaded her against the idea... which was fortunate, as (ever disorganised) when we did finally head back, her phone battery died on her half way across the desert too. That could have been interesting.

Back from my three weeks in Chile... and finally a chance to take a look at some photos.

We spent 4 days in San Pedro de Atacama to begin with. Our first day was a write-off because the car we had booked was given to somebody else... but we still managed to squeeze in everything we wanted to see with impeccable timing... via our usual non-stop early start, late finish, exhausting holiday style.

This is the huge sand dune in Valle de la Muerte/Marte (death or Mars), looking towards the ever-present, and only possible focal point in this region, Licancabur volcano.

04/05/2026

Exciting times for me... tomorrow I head off back to Chile (and Brasil & Argentina) for a few weeks! Not at all looking forward to the travel, as someone who can't sleep on trains/planes, but once there, I get to go to the Atacama desert and visit Iguazu Falls.

So it'll all be worth it eventually!

Here's a snap from Homestead Park in York last week. I love this tree and have been watching the colours and flowers for a few weeks now... before finally taking the camera along one sunny evening. It was a bit breezy, so I had to take loads of photos, all the same, to get one right. But we got there in the end.

As promised... we went up to the bluebells at Roseberry Topping yesterday evening and found a nice bit of country with some cloud overhead, but a few breaks of light coming through with some patience!

As you can probably guess, these are not the bluebells.

Having stood around trying my luck at the bluebells for an hour, but not really feeling it (the tree that is usually in-shot wasn't quite green enough yet)... I wasn't gonna get anything better than what I already have.

So I went up to the field above, filled with oilseed r**e and was immediately happy that I'd got something. The cloud and light hit at the right moment and it was job done. Who needs bluebells anyway.

28/04/2026

An unexpected nipping out to Beningborough Hall on Sunday found me wandering around the bluebells for a wee while. I hope to get back in the next week, but if not, this is a view I liked in the midday sun.

This evening is planned to be a Roseberry Topping day... so hopefully it's a nice quiet one and I can have the bluebells up there to myself too, without anyone having ruined them by sitting on them like previous occasions! Fingers crossed...

Wanting a lazy weekend... that went wrong... I did another 15 miles around York on Saturday, followed by a 'lazy' Sunday with some practical bits that filled an entire day, minute for minute... with the plan always to nip out somewhere in the evening to find some calm time.

This is Slipstones Crag, in the somewhat hidden valley of Colsterdale. I've visited a number of times but never really had any luck. This occasion was also a challenge in the wind, most of the tops of the cliffs here slant towards the downward, death direction, so it's not always easy to be near an edge in the wind without some danger...

On top of that, for most of the couple of hours it looked like the sunset would fizzle out... but I did, finally get some luck and the blue hazy sky gave me a cloud to deal with!

This wasn't the photo I was excited about, this came after I felt that I'd completed the task.

Anyhow, as soon as the sun dipped below the horizon, the wind stopped immediately and I've never heard so many bumble bees. A constant buzz all around. Although, also the first midges...

(Bonus points if you can name the hills on the top left (I do know, but a fun challenge...)).

11/04/2026

This is the lowest part of Krimml waterfalls in Austria. I'm not going to go too much into the details, but overall claimed to be Europe's tallest (although I am very well aware of the nuance and precise definitions depending on single drop, cascades, how far between each fall).

Either way, it is an impressive set of falls and one of those moments, despite the rain, where Ana saw the absolute excitement and love of waterfalls in real life. It was the same child-like excitement of visiting Keld when I was tiny, but times 10.

Waterfalls will always be my special interest.
