Sometimes you just have to sit and wait for the sun to do its thing and enjoy every minute.

Tritons’ Fountain/ Il-Funtana tat-Tritoni, Valletta, Malta

Hand held at 1/15th using available light whilst on holiday. I love the image stabilization on this camera

The first of the Salmon and Ingram transcribed documents are now online

A lot of hard work, more to come when time allows

Extended seabed geology map of the Bristol Channel published 🗺️ 🌊

Renewable energy infrastructure, whether on- or offshore, requires an in-depth understanding and accurate characterisation of the underlying geology. 🧵

You want me to respect the Earth..

Well I do, obviously a lot more than the person who spray painted on this bit of local geology

Did you watch Countryfile talking about Cherry Kearton?

One of our members Grandmother was so impressed with his talk she bought the book and went to Uganda for 10 years with her husband teaching in local schools.

Wildlife photography and talks have always inspired

What a topsy turvy world we live in ...

That's the clue and one of the pictures should be a give away

#Scarborough is a wonderful place when it's sunny. Here's 11 pictures that I took and stitched together to get a super wide view of the North bay #Yorkshire #Seaside #OMSystem #Olympus #Wideangle (to see the wide view click on the picture)

Still playing with some #B&W this time its a #Tree and #Ruin from the #Yorkshiredales #OMsystem #Olympus

Thus time of year (in the northern hemisphere anyway) the leaves take on an even greater level of interest IMO. Some of the trees are already dropping probably due to drought stress

Interesting in colour, but I lke it in B&W as well

Going through some old pictures as I sort out on my new computer and definitely having a Black and White phase at the moment #B&W #OMsystem #Olympus #landscape #landscapephotography #trees #Wales

The wrinkled skin of the earth!

For those who are not sure what the B&W is it's the faulted and jointed Jurassic aged rocks at the foot of this cliff in South Wales

Just visited Ruthie the Edmontosaurus in the National museum of Wales in Cardiff

Nice to see an old friend. I remember her in kit form before we put her together.

She appears on the film #Dinosaur13 during that building

Time to cut the hedge as the birds have finished nesting...

What's this?

My research suggests it's a field mouse nest (empty I checked carefully).

I put it back a bit lower after cutting in case it was still useful to someone

Even in colour and in the natural sunshine this red feed bucket stood out amongst the flood deposited driftwood and rubbish.

The "colour Splash" technique isn't one I usually use, but it felt right for this picture #OMsystem #Olympus #LandscapePhotography
