A window in Ludlow castle looking out along the river Teme.
I sat for a moment to ponder lives of those who had inhabited the castle and sat here over the years.

A fabulous warm glow at sunrise this morning atop the Wrekin.
A definite chill on the strong breeze but still a warm trek to the top.

I made the most of a sleepless night and headed up the Wrekin for sunrise.
A lovely brisk morning with the moon glowing as I walked up and some lovely golden light as the sun rose up.
The difficult part was heading back down knowing work was waiting.

A visit to my favourite tree at sunset this evening, it had been a while since I was on the Wrekin for sunset and although the clouds quickly obscured the sun, it was good to be back.

As today is marked as #WorldPhotographyDay2025 I thought I would share a selection.
My favourites are always subject to my mood at the time, right now I’d like a holiday so that may have influenced some of these pictures.
