Found this gem out on the trail at Castle Neroche. Seems like a dragonhead carved out of a fallen tree. So cool!

The Pensford Viaduct, built in 1874 for the Bristol & North Somerset Railway, stands 95 feet tall with 16 arches. Disused since 1968, it’s now a striking Grade II listed landmark in Somerset. Image by me.

I used to see such themes in movies, but then I went to Cheddar Gorge and found the colours I was looking for.

Earlier this year, I drove down to Durdle Door and it was a beautiful sight to see this natural rock formation. Durdle Door is a natural limestone arch on England's Jurassic Coast, formed over 140 million years ago. Must see sight!

Bristol will always have a huge place in my heart ❤️. Picture taken by myself roaming around the iconic Wills Memorial building, during the last few days of my doctoral studies.

Beautiful lighthouse at Portland - image captured this year by myself. The wind was crazy yet the edge of land was incredible.
