York Minster is one of the largest places of worship in Europe. The Minster was built over a period of 250 years, between 1220 and 1472 and, at the time, was at the forefront of gothic architecture. Like Notre Dame … Continue reading
Here are further shots of red deer taken during the annual rut at Richmond Park. Lots of roaring and bellowing was evident however, I did not manage to observe any clashes.

Here are a few shots of Dunstanburgh Castle which is located on a beautiful stretch of Northumbrian coastline. The 14th century fortification was the site of fierce fighting particularly during the war of the roses. Not surprisingly the castle is a ruin but nevertheless a mightily impressive sight.

Here are a few shots of Bamburgh castle one of Northumberland’s most renowned sights. Situated on the Northumberland coastline the castle overlooks both the Farne Islands and Lindisfarne and is well worth a visit particularly when the sun is shining.

Here are a few shots of Warkworth Castle, a 12th century medieval ruin located on a hill above the river Coquet in Northumberland. Once home to the powerful Percy family, who now reside not too far away in Alnwick Castle, Warkworth is one of the largest and most impressive fortresses in North East England. It was once home to ‘Harry Hotspur’, a valiant and significant knight of the Anglo-Scottish wars of the day. Unfortunately the castle was not open during our visit so an amble around the exterior was the best we could do.

Last Saturday I took the opportunity to pay tribute to the poor souls who fought and paid the ultimate sacrifice during the First World War. Being the penultimate weekend of this moving Tower of London exhibition, it was reportedly one of the busiest yet, with tens of thousands of visitors. A visit during the afternoon was clearly out owing to the throngs of people, so a quick trip in the evening seemed like a good idea as the sea of poppies appeared to have much more impact under artificial light. However, I did return the following morning before the crowds returned and managed to get a better overall view.

This is the second in my series of Kingfisher shots taken at a hide in Worcestershire. The shots were taken in low light and heavy rain around 0850hrs hence the reason why some of the images are slightly noisy.

Here are a few shots of the old and new skyscrapers that currently grace the skyline of the City of London. It seems there is no ceiling on the concept of building to greater heights.
