COOL BLUE Here is another image from my trip over to Dunstanburgh Castle in Northumberland at the weekend. This image was taken in the Blue Hour as soon as I got set up on the dicey beach in the dark about 7am. #dunstanburghcastle #northumberlandcoast #northumberlandcastles #longexposures

EASTERN PROMISE Sunrise at Dunstanburgh Castle on the Northumberland coast from the weekend. It was a bit dicey getting this shot with a fast incoming tide but well worth the effort. #fsprintmonday #sharemondays2025 #dunstanburghcastle @sonyalpha.bsky.social @fotospeed.bsky.social

FREE SPIRIT Morning, hope you are all well. This is another wonderful waterfall from my wander up Grisedale Valley yesterday. I was taken aback by how peaceful and quiet this valley was and I really did feel like a free spirit exploring the landscape, not knowing what I would find. #lakedistrict

SPLASH This is the spectacular Ritson’s Force in Wasdale from yesterdays wander around Wasdale in less than inspiring weather. This waterfall is named after the storyteller Will Ritson who was the first landlord of The Wasdale Head Inn. #lakedistrictnationalpark #landscapephotography

Congratulations to Mark Hetherington @markhether18.bsky.social for this week's #Sharemondays2025 image! Of all the wildlife and varied photos submitted this week, this image jumped out. However you've pulled it together, it's sharp throughout and nice back lighting. Over to you for next week 👍

THE PIKES From an exploratory 16k walk from Langdale taking in Pike O Blisco, Cold Pike, Crinkle Crags and Shelter Crags. The views of the Langdale Pikes were stunning but it was brutally cold in the wind, especially on the higher summits. #landscapephotography #lakedistrict #langdale

AFLOAT The iconic pilgrimage church on Lake Bled in Slovenia. There were was atmospheric lighting at times with lovely reflections, making the church appear to be floating on the lake. #lakebled #lakebledslovenia #fsprintmonday #sharemondays2025 @sonyalpha.bsky.social @fotospeed.bsky.social

ORANGE BURST We finally found the enigmatic St. Leonard Church in Slovenia. After a hairy ride up a very rough dirt road we found the church shrouded in thick mist, but eventually the mist cleared and the lights were finally switched on. #slovenia #landscapephotography

RISE ABOVE There was some stunning light and layers looking towards Windermere last week taken from just below Glaramara summit. I was shooting the landscape in front of me then I turned round and I was gob smacked to see this scene. #fsprintmonday #sharemondays2025 #landscapephotography
