A couple of cow’uses, the rooftops and church tower of Muker set in front of the bridleway as it snakes its way up Kisdon Hill, eventually meeting the Pennine Way.

There’s a lot going on in this scene, with the cows in the foreground, the little details of Muker tucked into the valley and the path leading the eye up towards the hills beyond. It’s one of those views where you can keep looking and notice something different each time.

I think that’s probably what I like most about it — nothing particularly dramatic, just a lovely combination of the landscape, the village, the old paths and a couple of cow’uses doing what cow’uses do. It feels very much like the Yorkshire Dales.

Definitely one of my favourite views from the walk.

A Little Owl 🦉

One of the unexpected joys of photography is discovering old memories hiding amongst the thousands of images we collect over the years.

While looking through some of my older wildlife photographs for a project, I came across this Little Owl again. I had almost forgotten I had taken it, along with a collection of birds of prey photographs from a workshop around five years ago.

It was a lovely surprise to revisit those moments and rediscover photographs that had once caught my eye.

The Little Owl, also known as the Owl of Athena or Owl of Minerva, has a long association with wisdom and mythology. Introduced to Britain in the 19th century, it has made its home amongst our farmland, pasture and woodland edges.

Small but characterful, it feeds on insects, earthworms, invertebrates and the occasional small vertebrate, often going about its business quietly while the world carries on around it.

Perhaps that is one of the things I love most about photography — time passes, memories fade, but a photograph can wait patiently in the archives until one day you stumble across it again.

And suddenly, for a moment, you are back there. 🦉📷

An evening train crossing Dent Head Viaduct. 🚂

There’s something wonderfully timeless about watching a train make its way across Dent Head Viaduct, high amongst the rugged beauty of the Yorkshire Dales.

Built from the stone of the surrounding landscape, the viaduct took six long years to complete. Dent Marble, the dark limestone quarried from the site itself, helped give the structure its distinctive character. But the building of it was far from easy — relentless rain, bitter Yorkshire winters and the unforgiving moorland terrain all conspired to slow the work.

And then, after all those years of struggle, this is the view we are left with.

I particularly love the evening light in this photograph. As the sun begins to fade, it catches the moorland and trees, picking them out against the darker landscape and giving the whole scene a gentle warmth. Without that fleeting light, this might have been a rather sombre photograph; instead, for a brief moment, the hills seem to glow.

A railway, a viaduct and the last light of the day — a little piece of Yorkshire that feels almost untouched by time.

Bow Fiddle Rock, standing proudly on the Moray coast near Portknockie, is one of Scotland’s most remarkable natural landmarks. Carved from ancient quartzite, its distinctive arch was shaped over countless ages by the relentless power of the sea. The surrounding rocks date back roughly 590 million years, carrying within them a story from a time long before dinosaurs, forests or even complex life on land.

Today, the rock remains a favoured resting place for seabirds, rising from the North Sea like a gateway between land and ocean. There is something timeless about standing looking at it, knowing that these ancient stones have witnessed unimaginable changes in the world around them.

I have a special connection with Bow Fiddle Rock too — I once swam right around it, becoming, for a brief moment, part of the same sea that has shaped this extraordinary piece of Scotland for millions of years.

There’s something rather special about putting next year’s calendar together.

As I turn through the photographs, I find myself travelling back through the year — to quiet walks with my camera, wonderful scenery discovered along the way, and precious holidays shared with my lovely wife.

Each photograph holds a little piece of a memory; a place, a moment, a feeling, or simply the beauty of standing somewhere and taking it all in. 📷

It’s lovely to look back at the adventures we’ve had and to know that, through these photographs, a few of those moments can live on a little longer.

And now, those memories have come together in my new calendar for the coming year.

If you’d like a little piece of these adventures hanging on your wall, the calendar is now available to order from my website. ❤️

Here’s to more journeys, more photographs, and more memories waiting to be made.

💦 **Cray Gill Waterfalls – Upper Wharfedale**

There’s something almost magical about standing beside a waterfall, listening to the relentless rush of water as it tumbles down the fellside. The sound seems to quieten everything else, leaving you with nothing but the roar of the falls, the wind and the landscape around you.

High up in Upper Wharfedale lie the beautiful waterfalls of **Cray Gill — Upper Falls and Cow Close Gill**. They’re not always easy to catch at their best, though. Being so high on the fells, they’re very much at the mercy of the weather.

I’ve honestly lost count of the number of times I’ve headed up there after convincing myself there must be plenty of water, only to arrive and find little more than a disappointing trickle! 😂

But catch them after some proper Yorkshire rain and it’s a completely different story.

The gullies come alive, the water pours over the rocks with real force, and the sound carries across the fellside. There’s something wonderfully wild about watching the landscape transformed by the rain — and somehow, standing there beside the rushing water, you can’t help but feel a little more peaceful yourself.

These are definitely **falls best visited when the heavens have opened**. 🌧️💦

And when you get the timing right… they’re absolutely worth the walk. ❤️

**Cray Gill, Upper Wharfedale — another little corner of the Yorkshire Dales that never fails to remind me why I love these hills.** 🥾⛰️

Quinag, standing proud and ancient in the wild heart of Assynt — where the Highland mountains rise from the earth like something out of a dream.

Beyond the old stone bridge, a little heather catches the breeze, while the great slopes of Quinag hold their silent watch over this timeless landscape.

There are places that simply ask you to pause, breathe, and listen. This is one of them. 🏔️🌿✨

One of my new favourite views near Malham Cove.

I love how the gap in the wall quietly draws your eye towards the path, leading you onwards through the landscape and gently upwards towards the cove itself.

There’s something about this composition that really caught my eye — the way each element seems to lead naturally into the next, inviting you to follow the path and see where the landscape takes you.

A moss-tastic little corner of Borrowdale, and one of those places that has always felt rather more enchanted than it probably ought to.

Some of my happiest and most peaceful days with the old camera have been spent here, stood knee-deep in the cold water, waiting patiently for the light, listening to the stream and searching for a composition amongst the moss, stone and ancient woodland.

There’s something about the Lakeland valleys that makes time slow down. The fells watching quietly overhead, the water tumbling over the rocks, the trees whispering in the breeze — and for a while, the rest of the world seems a very long way away.

Just me, the camera, wet boots and a head full of photographs.

A little bit of Borrowdale magic, and a place where I’ve happily been away with the fairies more than once. 🌿💧📷
