Venice is probably my favourite city and this picture says it all.

A photo taken on an old-fashioned SLR in July 1992 of the Hunza Valley in the Karakoram mountains in northern Pakistan, looking south from Altit Fort, and scanned to my computer. All sorts of disasters like an earthquake have happened since then, and it’s no longer a very safe place in other respects. There are apricots drying on roofs in the foreground and that river is the Indus. The marks on the photo seem to be from the original processing rather than a dirty scanner.

A stunning sunset.

An Indian menu. I think Chef should include the Con Soop in the Caff menu.

This photo chosen because it says "Spring" but also because it was "favourited" from space by Astronaut Chris Hadfield when he was on board the International Space Station! (an event which further fuelled my fascination with the ISS!)
And the frog was chosen because she is so beautiful!

Here is a photograph I took last week, Tuesday 10th of February 2015, on a very bright and sunny day in Brighton, around 4 pm:
I stood outside the windows of the ground floor exhibition space of the right Art College, or rather the Brighton university Art Department. I was intrigued by the exhibits: architectural features, mainly door and window frames, of various ages, periods, state of repairs. I tried to get in, but the door was locked, so I decided to take a picture with my iPodTouch. All I could see on the screen of the iPod was my own reflection, so I had no idea what I was actually shooting.
When i got home, I got a pleasant surprise: the picture I took showed clearly the architectural features, but also the reflection of the trees outside over on the far side of the road opposite the college. Suddenly, the window and door frames looked as if they were part of an outside structure! I was most intrigued by this illusion: what had looked inside to me now looked outside.
I love reflections, and illusions, and this is a nice example of it, and how these things often arrive without necessarily being planned or intended.

This is a ‘photo taken on Mykonos, many years ago, when I was still young enough to sleep on the beach, which I did! I didn’t get to India, but I did spend three months travelling around Europe, and I had a wonderful time.

This photo is, for me, SO poignant:
Oscar, on the right, lived for just 5 days more. Unbeknown to us he was ill with a cancer – he was 9. Little Basil, on the left, is still with us.
Think this pic. exquisitely depicts the world-weary juxtaposed against the eager, joie de vivre of a puppy. The wheat ready for harvest....

A beautiful reflection in the Lake District.

Had a few days in Paris in December in a little place in Saint Charles. Just round the corner was a fabulous street market selling wonderful fruit, veg, fish and meat. A shop selling nothing but fresh pasta and a deli selling the most tempting terrines I've ever seen. French life at its best. Paris was all dressed up in its Christmas finery and taking the bus from the Gare du Nord was just a treat. Boveyphil look away now.

Hello from Greece!
I could not resist your invitation, so I am sending a small selection of pictures for the exhibition. I cannot decide which is the best, so if you only want one you’ll have to take your pick. The thistles are for Scotland.

One of my weirdest pictures was last Summer, in the back garden at temporary Candlebra HQ. Countless spider hatchlings break out of their tiny gossamer nest for the first time on a warm morning. To get an idea of the scale, these are privet leaves.

For no particular reason other than I took it this morning. I like to be contemporary.

Here is a shot of the Nariva freshwater swamp nature reserve in Trinidad, home to manatee, anaconda and a variety of waterfowl. The forest in the background has Red Howler and Capuchin monkeys, Red as well as Blue and Gold Macaws, Peccaries, deer and many other animals.
A bit like a tropical Garden of Eden.
