My London Town. St Paul’s through a fence, with some Photoshop style trickery creating some buttery bokeh.

A sunset photo on the coastline of Kusadasi, Turkey. Here the statue of El Heykeli sits looking out to sea, a symbol of peace.

Going underground. Under the Hoover Dam to be precise. Dark, gloomy and mysterious.

I love disappearing point photography, which manifests in alleyway and street view photos. You’ll see a lot of these.

A tunnel beneath the Hoover Dam. It’s a dark tunnel with lights at the end lightly illuminating the passage giving a dark and spooky feel.

More looking up. Here at MoMA, NYC. The swirls work just wonderfully into the glass roof. Whilst this is no doubt a common photo, I do enjoy seeing others looking at what I’m shooting and then getting their own version. Brings a smile to my face like #photography should.

My true love lies in cityscapes at night. From the top of the Rockefeller a few years ago, the long exposure creates writing style squiggles in the sky.

100 followers in less than a week!

In the grand scheme of things, that’s not exactly an achievement but for someone who struggled to break double figures in the other place, it feels good that the #photography community is here.

Thanks to all! I’ll be sharing my photos regularly.

I do love an old town vibe. Here in Toledo, Spain, the Alcazar looks out over its city. A wonderful town with wonderful people.

Another Turkish kitty. This one in Manavgat, a lovely town near Side, Turkey.

Sunrise in #Pittsburgh yesterday was awesome. Second one last week where the sky really lit up, which was so much fun to capture. I bounced back and forth between the Mr. Rogers statue and river, with these being from the latter. Crazy how much the sky can change in five minutes.

Looking up under a lampshade it has multiple petal-like shapes radiating outward, creating a layered effect. The light bulb is visible in the centre surrounded by the white petals & a dark background.

You’ll see a lot of cats on this feed. Here in Antalya, one of the many maintained colonies. The most picturesque kitten in the world and their mum. I often wonder where they are now.

Bluesky tip for newbies: Bluesky has no real algorithm. Likes here do nothing but show the poster that you enjoyed their content.

That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. 🙂

And that McDonalds in Zaragoza plagued me for years.

I connected to the WiFi and my phone would FOREVER default to it whenever I tried to connect to a new WiFi.

Even resetting it didn’t help. Only a new phone ended the nightmare.

‘McDonalds Zaragoza Gratis WiFi’ will live forever in my mind.

Another lucky find. Here in Zaragoza, the craziest pedestrian bridge you’ll ever see. Like a Time Tunnel vibe. There was a McDonalds on the other side, obvs.

Certainly one of my favourite ever shots—a golden Turkish sunset illuminating green fields and a rustic old cottage against a rolling hillside. The dramatic clouds create an unforgettable, serene landscape. Got lucky with this one.
