I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

The Langdale Pikes overlooking Loughrigg Tarn in late afternoon sunshine. #photography #landscapephotography #lakedistrict #loughriggtarn
Late afternoon at Loughrigg Tarn in the English Lake District. Sun light catches the side of the Langdale Pikes and the trees surrounding the Tarn. A chill wind disturbs the water on the Tarn.

A frozen Kelly Hall tarn from last week’s trip to the Lake District. #landscapephotography #photography #lakedistrict #kellyhalltarn #oldmanofconiston
Kelly Hall tarn is a small lake in the Torver Common near Coniston. The tarn is frozen giving reflections of a pine tree on the left hand side, birch trees in the middle and the Old Man of Coniston mountain on the right hand side. Late afternoon sun catch’s the side of the trees and the mountains in the background.

A black & white image of the Garreg-du viaduct gives a better impression of the rainy day than yesterday’s colour image. #photography #landscapephotography #elanvalley #wales #nantgwylltchurch #black&whitephotography
A black and white image Nantgwyllt church seen across the Darren-du viaduct in the Elan Valley. The reservoir was built at the end of the 19th century to provide water for Birmingham.

An image from a wet day in the Elan Valley. Garret-Dudu viaduct leading to Nantgwyllt Church. #elanvalley #wales #photography #landscapephotography #nantgwylltchurch
The Garreg-du viaduct crosses the reservoir to the Nantgwyllt church. The reservoir was constructed between 1893 and 1906 to provide water to Birmingham, 75 miles away. The old church was lost when the reservoir was constructed. The new church was sited to achieve asthetic impact aligning with viaduct.

St Paul’s Cathedral is seen at the far end of the Millennium Bridge in London. A ramp slopes up from the river Thames bank. Glass safety barriers give a blue light to the side of the bridge.

In a change from my landscape images here is the 13th century crypt under Hereford Cathedral. #herefordcathedral #englishcathedrals #photography
The images shows the nave of the crypt with chairs along the side between pillars. There is a wooden table in the centre with a carved stone panel behind. There is subdued lighting to illuminate the ceiling and some natural light entering from the right. The crypt sits under the Lady Chapel of Hereford Cathedral. It was once used as a charnel house to store corpses and bones!

An ancient tree in Savernake Forest slowly shedding its branches. #photography #landscapephotography #savernakeforest #autumncolours #fall

Follow the red leaf road. Another image from Saturday’s walk through Savernake Forest. #photography #landscapephotography #savernakeforest #autumncolours #fall.
A path covered in fallen beech leaves leads through an avenue of trees showing their autumn colours. Savernake Forest is full of ancient trees and was once a hunting ground of Henry VIII. He met his third wife, Jane Seymour, while staying with her father, the then owner of the forest.

The Langdale Pikes seen from the descent from Lingmoor Fell. There are old stone walls in the foreground. If you look really hard you will see my son by the wall waiting for me to join him.

Just found time to process images from a trip to Hathersage Moor in August. Can’t decide on whether colour or B&W is best. What do you think? #peakdistrict #hathersage #photography #heather #landscapephotography #blackandwhite #mono
A colour image of rocks on Hathersage Moor near Over Owler Tor. There is heather in flower around the rocks. A shower is starting over the village of Hathersage in the background. This is a black and white version of the image of the rocks on Hathersage Moor. The main differences are the shower over the village on the right hand side is more distinct and the heather on the rocks is less obvious.

Highlights from our Northumberland Coast Path walk. 70 miles of large sandy beaches, old castles, big skies and lots of seabirds. #northumberland #photography #landscape #nationaltrailsuk #hiking
Dunstanburgh Castle seen across Embleton Bay on an overcast day. Druridge Bay at the start of the Coast Path. Bamburgh Castle overlooking the beach. The entrance to Budle Bay on a glorious late summer afternoon.

Approaching Cullernose Point on the Northumberland Coast Path on last week’s walk. #photography #landscape #northumberlandcoastpath #northumberland #hiking
Two hikers are on a path above the sea on the Northumberland Coast Path. They are approaching a rock face that descends into the sea. The rock is covered in white streaks where Kittywakes had nested earlier in the year. The Northumberland Coast Path covers 70 miles (112 km) from Cresswell to Berwick upon Tweed. It walked it in 6 days.

Mother Cap on Hathersage Moor on a dull misty morning. At least the heather still looked lovely. #heather #peakdistrict #photography #landscapephotography
The Mother Cap stones can be seen on the skyline. The boulders in the foreground have bright clumps of purple heather surrounding them. Hathersage Moor is in the Peak District National Park.

Another picture of the Heather on the Roaches. #heather #peakdistrictnationalpark #photography #landscapephotography
A dry stone wall leads to a rock formation. In the foreground there is purple heather and in the background there is a similar sloping rock formation called Hen Cloud. The sky is overcast with dark clouds.

The heather at the Roaches in the Peak District is in full bloom. Shame the English summer has turned gloomy. #heather #peakdistrict #photography #landscapephotography
Heather either side of a path frame a view of the rock formations know as the Roaches in the English Peak District. The nearest rocks are favourite with climbers.
