Nice sky this morning. Through a window, hence the lawn shadow. #Glynde #Lewes #landscape
Sunrise with orange and purple clouds illuminates a green landscape. In the foreground, a lawn and a stone wall. Beyond, fields, scattered trees, and hills in the distance.

Waffer-thin mist over #Glynde Reach.

Feels like the Sun can’t really be bothered with it today. #landscape #lewes #sussex
Late autumn sky above the South Downs and Glynde Reach. Green grass, flinty walls, leaf-bare trees. Winding through it a whispy mist.

#BringOutYourBread
Home-made loaf on a wire rack, fresh from the oven. Hard to tell from the pic, but it’s heart-shaped.

Gorgeous day today in Glynde. Even better first thing. #landscape #photography #sussex
Sunrise from Glynde. A few whispy clouds lit from the the left by the glow of the soon-to-rise Sun. Firle Beacon in the distance. The garden in the foreground. Mist enveloping trees near Glynde Reach in the middle ground.

Rather large, menacing cloud lurking over Newhaven. #cloud #dragon #nightphotography
A star shines through a gap in a cloud and makes it look like a shadowy creature. The cloud is white illuminated from below.

Strong “Observer’s Book of…” vibe from this Guardian article head. Wonder what it would “of” with that pic?
The Guardian “Saturday Read” column of 20th Sep 2025. Headline reads: “Andy Burnham, the man who would be king. Jessica Elgot and Pippa Crerar.” Authors names in red. Below is a rose-tinted graphic picture of AB looking past Kier Starmer from behind. Behind AB is the door to 10 Downing Street. The picture has a thin black line border.

Nice clouds rolling over #Firle Beacon this morning. Lawn needs a mow though... #Sussex #landscapephotography #photography
Garden path lined by lavenders, lawn, trees. Clouds between us and Firle Beacon, blue skies above.

Today’s pass, slightly further south. Coming in over Mount Caburn, heading away to Eastbourne.

Another Moonlight & mist number from The Cabourn above Glynde on the walk back from Lewes last night. #photography #nightphotography #glynde #lewes #moon
Shadowy trees and shrubs in the foreground, the path down the slope so dark it can’t be seen. Pools of mist above Glynde Reach below. A bright moon, light bleeding in lines at an angle over the shadowy foreground. On the horizon, the lights of nearby towns.

Moonlight & mist. #photography #night #moon #glynde #firle
A bright, moonlit night from Glynde looking towards Firle Beacon. Mist and trees rising above. Some floodlights next door illuminate the flinty stone wall of the garden and the sundial.

Quite beautiful after the first wave of rain. #sussex #landscape #glynde
A dark bank of cloud with white clouds below. Stone wall. A parched lawn which saw rain overnight. Green trees and bushes. A dark bank of cloud with white clouds below. Stone wall. A parched lawn which saw rain overnight. Green trees and bushes. Plastic garden chairs on flagstones. A complex of contrasting grey and white clouds rolling over Firle Beacon. A parched lawn damp from one night of rain. Green trees and bushes. A flagstone path with a central sundial, lavender to each side.

He’s there isn’t he? Looks a bit shocked at what he sees going on down here. #Moon
Orange Moon, face visible. Above Firle Beacon

The #Moon tonight from New Road near #Glyndebourne. Looking very Jack-o'-lantern-y. Firle Beacon in the middle distance. Sign for the opera house peeking out behind the overgrown hedgerows. #landscape #photography
The Moon, quite orange, with the “man in the moon” features visible, above the narrow New Road between Ringmer and Glyndebourne. Overgrown hedges rise up on either side and Firle Beacon is in the distance.
