Nottingham Forest Season Card holder. Work in IT. It's boring but it pays the bills, but also prevents me spending more time surrounded by nature, taking pictures. If you didn't photograph it, why did you bother going?

Panorama on Powillimount beach, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. My apologies on this one. I didn't do a very good job of keeping the camera level, so the images haven't stitched together particularly well, but it's the only pano I took here. #Photography #PanoPhotos

As everyone is photographing the strawberry moon tonight, I thought I'd post a photo of the sunrise over the Solway Firth from Southerness, Scotland. #Photography

Cockle shells on Powillimount beach, Dumfries and Galloway. On the section of beach where this was taken, there are probably hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of these shells. They make such a satisfying crunch as you walk over them. #Photography

Panorama of Staithes harbour, North Yorkshire, England. I bet these cliffs were once connected, but I wonder how long ago that was. #Photography #PanoPhotos

Powillimount beach and wind farms across the Solway firth. I can't remember exactly which direction I was facing when this was taken, but my best guess is the wind farms are Crossdykes, Solway Bank and Craig Hill. #Photography

Nine Stones Close stone circle, Harthill Moor, near Elton, Derbyshire. The full moon belies the fact it's 11pm. The 25-second exposure makes it look like daylight but the stars, though faint, are the give-away. #Photography

A field of cows alongside the Tissington Trail, near Alsop en le Dale, Derbyshire. The cow in the background, that's looking at me suspiciously... has it it been eating the brown leaves from the (beech, I think) tree? #Photography

Kittiwakes nesting at Staithes, North Yorkshire, England. Although the one middle looks like it's just got home and realised someone's nicked its nest. #Photography

The Peak District National Park has around 5500 miles of dry stone walls. These are next to the Tissington Trail, near Alsop en le Dale, Derbyshire. One of the uses of dry stone walls was to define land ownership and to prevent livestock from escaping into neighbouring fields. #Photography

Panorama of Staithes harbour, North Yorkshire, England. Formerly a thriving fishing village and mining hub, Staithes is now a popular tourist destination. Beware of those cliffs though. Rock falls are commonplace, even on a beautiful day like this. #Photography #PanoPhotos
