Research has shown that beneath every forest and wood there is a complex underground web of roots, fungi and bacteria helping to connect trees and plants to one another. This subterranean social network, nearly 500 million years old, has become known as the 'Wood Wide Web'. #web #woodwideweb #trees

A black and white photograph of a person walking away from the viewer through a stone archway. The archway is dark and dramatic, framing a brightly lit area beyond. The person is carrying a bag and appears to be walking into the light.

Today is world photography day.

Be sure to thank a photographer - without our images to steal from, AI would have no idea what the world looks like

Today is #WorldPhotographyDay2025 so I took the camera to the local park and lost myself in the tiny details. That's one of the joys of photography - disappearing briefly into a different world.

I love living in London (mostly). There's lots of iconic places to photograph. So I went out the other day and ... err ... photographed snails at Barking :-)

A detail of a cluster of snails on a fence post, photographed from below and looking up towards the sky. The snails were on a fence around the new Barking Riverside development on the London/Essex border along the River Thames.

Probably the most ambitious pano I've shot, given each vertical frame is at 170mm (tiny field of view) which required about 40 individual frames to get the correct perspective. For context the older wide angle frame shows how far away I am from this view

Strange things you find in the street. Saw this last night. What story lies behind it? A miraculous cure? #foundobjects

Today I took the train to the end of the line ...
A pylon viewed through raindrops on a train window. The drops of water are in focus but the pylon is thrown out of focus although its distinctive shape remains recognisable. The photograph was taken at Barking Riverside, a new development on the Thames just beyond Barking on the East London/Essex borders. The pylon is evidence of the land's former use - as a power station. Barking Riverside is at the end of the Suffragette Line on the London Overground.
