Not sure that you meant this... But I went caving once. Still doing it nearly 50 years later 🤣🤣

You call it spelunking, we call it caving. Coniston copper mines UK.

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

I have that book, never expected to meet it for real, but here's a couple from when I put the actual specimen together back in 1986. A real first for the National museum of Wales #dinosaursfromchina

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

Here's a couple of the cast in Nottingham in 2017. I could not get far enough for a decent angle in the photograph. They kindly provided a mirror as an alternative view which worked quite well

What a topsy turvy world we live in ...

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

Why not use the original reconstruction by Rhian Kendall. I know how much effort she put into it and IMO (I may be biased) anyone creating another work based on this should be crediting her even though the original was put into the public domain it would be polite to do so

#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

Back in 1986 I put together Mamenchisaurus on it's first trip outside of China to the National museum of Wales

Some not very good pictures of it scanned from my old 35mm slides

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

Camping at Margam park in Wales. Stunning location and wild deer wandering around

Really hot, very pleased about my solar system powering the fridge to keep the beer cold
