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.

A view up to the top of MoMA in NYC. The floors have become swirls that lead to the glass roof.

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.

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

A view across Toledo, Spain. The Alcazar looking out across the town which still has retained its old town style.

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

Another light fitting. Here at the New York Public Library. Always look up.

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.

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.

Looking up at a transmission tower near Hoover Dam, an impressive display of geometry and industrial design against a deep blue sky. The lines and angles create striking symmetry, blending engineering with artistry. #HooverDam #Geometry #IndustrialDesign #LookUp #Engineering #StructurePhotography
Looking at a transmission tower outside Hoover Dam. A blue sky and striking bold lines from the structure.

Sunsets are my kinda thing too. Actively pursuing them wherever I am. I love the unwritten rule of silence amongst the watchers as the sun disappears.

Corridors. A guilty pleasure if you will. Like snowflakes, every single one is different. Some have a ‘The Shining’ vibe. Like this one. Which looks like an infinity corridor. Come play with us indeed.

An old one from Turkey. Everyone gathered on a raised wall to try and catch the sunset. I just spent my time trying to catch THEM catching the sunset! #sunset #photography

I love capturing hidden geometry in objects - like chandelier details from new angles. Finding art everywhere. You’ll always see me looking in at light fittings. Whilst trying not to be thrown out. #GeometryPhotography #LookUp #AbstractArt #Symmetry #HiddenBeauty #ModernPhotography #DesignInspo

So what’s my style (said no one ever)? I have a few favourites which I’ll show over the course of my time here. First I love a dramatic ‘up through the buildings look”. Here in NYC’s financial district. #NYC #Manhattan #Skyscrapers #LookUpNYC #UrbanPerspective #NYCBuildings #Cityscape #ExploreNYC

My first BlueSky post!

Manhattan skyline, the iconic One World Trade Center standing tall against a serene, clear blue sky. The waters reflect the city lights as day transitions into night. #Manhattan #NYCSkyline #GoldenHour #SunsetViews #OneWorldTrade #Cityscape #Waterfront #SkylinePhotography
