Another Shot of Mesa Verde
Just in case you can’t picture Mesa Verde, here’s a more traditional shot of Cliff Palace, with Frances behind the lens this time! Continue reading
Mesa Verde
Day 6 We started today with a visit to Shiprock, basically a big lump of rock jutting up out of the plain. This is sacred to the Navajo, and can look very dramatic in the right light, but was a Continue reading
Angels and Badlands
Day 5 We had an early start today – up at 5.30 and a 50 mile drive to get to the “Bisti Badlands” for dawn. This was initially a bit disappointing, but then we bit the bullet and followed Martres’ Continue reading
The Jemez Mountain Trail
Day 4 We moved North West from Albuquerque, via the Jemez Mountain Trail, a very pretty mountain road providing an excellent alternative to just sitting on a very boring dual carriageway. As usual, Laurent Martes’ recommendations of what to photograph Continue reading

Re-Use Achieved with Elegance
I just realised I haven’t posted anything for a week or two, so I thought you might like to see one of my photos. We had a great trip last year to Maastricht, enjoying not only the wandering around a Continue reading
Thar She Blows!
The wildlife on a Barbados trip is usually pretty predictable: lizards, turtles, monkeys, flying fish, various small birds and fish. This year had already improved on the norm with a couple of hummingbird sightings, but that was before our catamaran Continue reading
Through a Glass, Darkly
I’m finally processing the shots from our trip to Bruges in 2010, and I found this one I particularly liked. It’s light projected through a stained glass window at the Basilica of the Holy Blood, onto one of the internal Continue reading
