Paris in Black and White
Paris is the most atmospheric of cities. The sights, the people, the restaurants and cafes are evocative of memorable travel and times past. This is a small selection of my photography taken over several visits and rendered in black and white. Please enjoy these and my books on Paris and France are available on Amazon.
One week in a Somerset Winter
February is often thought to be the bleakest month of winter, the last throes of poor weather before the onset of spring. Not so this year. After a mild and fairly damp winter we have been treated to a beautiful week or so of sunny weather that produced the most amazing sunsets over the Bristol Channel. These photos are of that week and are taken mainly at Uphill where the River Axe estuary meets the channel. Alongside these are photos taken at the National Trust property of Tyntesfield House near Bristol. WE have been treated to some gorgeous colours that were vibrant and deep culminating on the magical display at the end of the days.

Normandy – History, Markets and Food to Start Touring France
The dawn chorus was just thinking about making an appearance when we started our approach to the ferry terminal at Portsmouth. It was then that I realized why my mouth had gone so dry and my hands were shaking. I had not got the faintest idea of how to proceed to the ferry and an embarrassed fear set in. Where on earth do I go – what lane do I take?

Lavender Fields at their best in a Provencal Summer
Travellers have their own favourite areas of Provence where they appreciate the vast fields of lavender. For me the finest spot is close to Banon. In fact anywhere around that village whether you head towards Forqualquier, as in this shot, or north of the village back across towards the famous area around Sault, you willContinue reading “Lavender Fields at their best in a Provencal Summer”
