  • Sugarloaf

    Great and windy views from the Sugerloaf, near Abergavenny, Wales.

  • Mirkwood

    Well, maybe not Mirkwood. But still a lovely twisted, gnarly kinda freaky area of woodland.

  • Weir

    Watching the water flow – the sharp change in its path creating a strong diagonal line

    A Ballardian descent into anarchy – a perpetual dance of humanity.

    The Eden Project Rainforest Biome at night. 
    eden-at-night-2
    An almost surreal world – as if on another planet or space station. At night, it is almost as if stars are seen beyond, outside the dome.

    Such strange juxtaposition. 

  • This. This is/was The Future.

     

    this-is-the-future
    This was the future. Inside the incredible biomes of the Eden Project, near St. Austell, Cornwall. They remind me of the cold war futurists, dreaming up habitats and environments for humanity to live in the future.

  • The Light Symmetry

    Love how the light reflection 'flow's into the other pane, adding an interesting depth to the image.

    Ok, So I enjoy taking photos of waves & water. Its hard not to be entranced by it and the never ending display of power and energy.

    Autumn

    It is amazing. The change in seasons. A process, a cycle. The influence the earths orbit and rotation has.
    The tilt in the angle of the Earth. The change in temperature and weather patterns.
    How the planet; how the plants and trees have adapted to this.
    The pattern that has been created. A cycle.
    What the effects and implications of this are.
    How the chemical and biological processes – born out of our planets proximity to the sun and climate – are thus affected by this change in season.
    And how this change in temperature and light mean that this whole machine that collects sunlight and creates energy literally breaks down; the chemical composition changes and the leaves turn. This process, one born out of the evolution of the planet and its climatic cycles, has the side affect of creating such beauty to be perceived by us. For us.
