The reflection in the potholes is so pure in this canyon, it almost looks like a natural arch or bridge.

Finding Your Way - Fontainebleau 2025

I had the pleasure of sitting in a climbing centre and watching human-squirrels path-find and hold-search on this enormous wall of what seemed like 1000 options. Had to tear myself away in the end, could have watched for a week!

A warm-toned sunset over a beach, with the sun glowing brightly in a hazy sky. The golden light reflects off the water and wet sand, creating a serene and tranquil scene with a few small figures visible in the distance along the shoreline.

Pink haze fills the sky -
the sea glows at day’s quiet end,
soft echoes remain.

There is so much fleeting beauty to the world of mountains, lasting seconds before it's gone forever. Far above, barely visible, a towering, frozen world emerges every so briefly. Patagonia, Chile.

Looking over a disused canal towards a field full of tall grass last November. 
A tall bare tree stands on the left.
It is a cold morning with a layer of frost. 
The sky is clear and shades of pink to blue from the light of the morning sunrise behind

A Red Ruffled Lemur, a long haired orange/red lemur with white long tufts of hair around their face. Sitting almost posed on a beam of wood.

This Red Ruffed Lemur was giving beauty and comedy all at once ❀️ what a stunner!

Captivated by the delicate beauty of these tiny flowers of Armeria. Getting a close shot with no #macro lens is tricky… Especially if there is even a tiny breeze!

Mind blowing #scape - On this particular evening, the wildfires from Canada were adding pollution to the air in the Mediterranean and tinting the sunset. I must have taken about 20 photos πŸ˜‚

Oh stop! ❀️
This was Beaumaris, Anglesey at low tide. I was pretty uninspired and had to really force myself to take a photo! Came out nicely. Thank you!

Super shot! Was it early morning? Or lapse photo? No people!

You reminded me to post a photo from there too today!

#Reynisfjara but a different vibe.
While stunning, the sea is dangerous here and often tourists are seen climbing rocks or getting too close to waves that could take them away in an instant.

It’s part of a well known and used path to beaches and everyone has to walk around or under it… not my favourite bit of the walk!
