Pics from the Farm

As I travel around the UK, I stay on a lot of #farms and #smallholdings that have allocated some of their land to small, 5 pitch max, #campsites. I'm not a fan of busy campsites. #camping #vanlife #lamb #lambs #cattle #livestock #agriculture #travel #traveladdicts #thetouringeye

An image of a Cheetah framed quite tightly to show main face, neck and chest. The Cheetah is sitting in a tree and making direct eye contact with the viewer. Image taken during a visit to Paignton Zoo, Devon, UK

'Sup?'

Fastest land animal on the planet 🐆💨

Cheetahs can reach speeds of up to 70 mph (112 km/h) — but only for around 20–30 seconds at a time!

Sharing is caring.

Did you know that "Orangutan" translates to "Person of the Forest"? 🌿

As I approach my 1st year anniversary since my first ever #irisphotography pop-up on the 15th Feb, I'm going through all the pics and asking my audience on Facebook to have their say in choosing 'The Eye of The Year'. If you're on FB, come and have your say 😊

Do I have any #twitchers in my audience at all? If so, can anyone identify this #bird please? Spotted in the waters of #Lymington, #Hampshire, UK. It dived under water a lot, presumably #hunting only popping up occasionally, many meters from where it dove making getting a good shot rather difficult

A selection of 'special edits' ordered by attendees of my #irisphotography pop-ups in #Hereford and #Chepstow last weekend.

Yes indeed. I was fortunate enough to work on one of the sites (when most of the pics here were taken) back in 2023. Loved it. Sadly the company itself had no clue about how to treat staff and I didn't quit my career to take sh1t from inexperienced idiots 😊

Where: New Forest, Hampshire, England

One of my favourite forests in the UK where you wake up to deer and ponies right outside your door.

Dartmouth Castle didn’t get this prime spot by accident.

Built to defend the River Dart from invasion, it’s been adapting to threats for over 600 years — from medieval raids to cannon warfare.

#Goodrich #Castle, #Herefordshire.

11th-century #Norman #fortress, concentric defences, stunning views over the River Wye — and eventually defeated by Civil War artillery rather than medieval siege tactics.

A solid reminder that technology always wins… eventually.

Introducing Star my 1996 Hymer B564 motorhome | Van Life UK YouTube video by Grumpy Git's Road Trip - Van Life

This is my almost 30 year old #Hymer motorhome that I have been pretty much living in fulltime for the past 4 yeas and 4 months. This was taken just after I purchased her and many changes have occurred since.
