Sutton Lodge farmhouse has long been abandoned and is slowly falling down. Most of the outbuilding walls have long since tumbled and those of the house itself seem not to be far behind.
Cumbrae is a small island off the Scottish coast - known as the island of 1,000 bicycles as cycling is so popular here due to the very small number of cars and only 2 roads.
Dappled sun makes its way through first leaves and a gentle mist on the way to shining light on a delightful woodland path complete with steps to infinity and beyond.
The beautiful island of Great Cumbrae is only reached by ferry. This is the landing site for it and the view back to Largs on the Scottish mainland.
A calm autumn / fall day with fabulous bright colours and a gentle reflection of a distant bridge
Mermaid's pool is a natural freshwater pool that can be found in the Staffordshire moor lands. It is always a dark shade of blue, possibly due to the peaty / boggy nature of the soil. At the top of a ridge it is a popular place for model RC plane flying, particularly gliders who benefit from the updraft.
A solitary oak tree stands proud amidst a farmer's field on a glorious summer day with some excellent cloudage.

The call of the sea. . . .
The kind of bridge over a gentle, unassuming little stream that if it hasn't got a troll under it perhaps really should.
Originally a hermit's cave - now of course long abandoned and just a lovely tranquil place to visit.
A dry stone wall dominates the foreground of this autumn landscape image.
The beautiful colours of an English woodland in autumn.
Deep in the forest where the roads become tracks and the tracks become paths . . . .
Avebury is famous for its stone circle, but not so many know of 'the avenue' - exactly that, an avenue formed by a long row of standing stones which can be seen here amongst the flowers that carpet the floor.
As ever with such things no one actually knows why this is called the Hemlock Stone, though of course theories abound based on old punctuations and long lost words. On 3 June 2002 to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II a large bonfire was lit on the top of Hemlock Stone as part of the worldwide chain of 2,006 beacons.

When getting up in the morning is just too much effort and the sun needs to take a rest on a tree.
Believed to have been built some 3 - 4,000 years ago Doll Tor is a scheduled ancient monument in the Peak district of Derbyshire. As with all things of this age its purpose is speculation though it would seem fair to assume it to have been an important ritual site. The only firm evidence for earlier use is as a burial / cremation site and several cremation urns have been recovered.

For many years the only way for workers living in Stapenhill to get to Burton on Trent was by ferry. After many deaths a bridge, Ferrby Bridge was built to cross the river and adjacent washlands.

The Corsican Pine - Pinus nigra is an extremely hardly tree that is even happy to grow in sand and resistant to salt spray making it a popular choice for coastal forestry.
Ullapool in Scotland has a fabulous and picturesque bay that is popular with a blend of both working and leisure craft. With a blue sky and spectacular backdrop it is easy to see why it is so popular.
The house here was built when the road between the Kyle of Tongue and Loch Hope which was constructed by the Duke of Sutherland opened in 1830. The road was literally built, like its successor on an endless number of heather bundles to stop it sinking into the peat bog. This is the view from the front door.
This house was built when the road between the Kyle of Tongue and Loch Hope which was built by the Duke of Sutherland and opened in 1830. It was literally built, like its successor on an endless number of heather bundles to stop it sinking into the peat bog. Despite this utter isolation several people found the desire to 'adorn' it. Records show that in 1881 it was home to a man of 80 along with his daughter, son in law and 5 grandchildren.
Lonely road on the North Yorkshire moors complete with sheep, farm gate and lonely tree. Also available in mono and as a letterbox crop.

This is the highest point on the island of Great Cumbrae, a beautiful island off the coast of Scotland that can only be reached by ferry.
Shoreline image of Ladybower reservoir in the Upper Derwent Valley with snow on the hills and the hint of a sunset to come.
Just outside the town of Matlock in Derbyshire there is a little lane that unassumingly goes to a place called Lumsdale. Lumsdale was in its day a major industrial area, powered by a series of water mills courtesy of the Bentley Brook. Long since abandoned nature is now taking things back. This is Bentley Brook - meandering through the autumn colours now unhindered.
This is a view across the pool that formed the head of water for the many mills, some grinding corn, others bone and ore as well as a fulling and bleaching works. All of these were powered by a series of water mills along the steep valley below.
This beautiful waterfall is in the Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales. An energetic walk very well worth the effort.
Waterfall of the snow. This most beautiful waterfall is in the Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales. The footpath actually goes behind the curtain of water too so the brave, and those who don't mind getting just a little damp, get a most unusual view.

This rather beautiful waterfall is accessed via a path from Llanberis. It can also be seen from the very popular Snowdon mountain railway as it passes over a viaduct that is just a few yards to the right and more than a few yard above.
The mound seen here is a reconstruction of a very much older and larger burial mound after the original neolithic mound was excavated in 1928. It is possible to walk inside and many people do - often bearing and leaving small items relevant to the Pagan faith system.
This is a relaxing image of a path through the Brecon Beacons National Park. Part of the 'Four Falls' walk it is described as 'strenuous' - they aren't kidding.
A simple scene at Loch Linnhe, Scotland with a moored boat, little red building, hills and of course - cloud.
Second Coast in Scotland could be mistaken for many an exotic foreign location in the summer sun, clear blue water, sandy beach and a backdrop that is simply beautiful.
On a typical Scottish single track road to Malvaig in the Highlands there are many buildings being left to decay. The orange of the rust against the green and blue of the landscape made this one appealing to me.
Lion rock is a natural formation quite literally millions of years old on the Scottish island of Great Cumbrae. As you come off the ferry turn left and you can not miss it.

Up on the Brecon Beacons in the middle of an extensive military training area is the rather stunning Garth viewpoint. On the way there I saw this and liked the simplicity of it.
Lynmouth is a small town on the North Devonshire coast of the UK. Just above this bridge the East Lyn and West Lyn rivers combine before joining the sea.
Up on the Brecon Beacons in the middle of an extensive military training area is the rather stunning Garth viewpoint. The three dark green rectangles are plantations of trees.
