Ocean Swimming

View from the chalk hills down to the Atlantic Ocean and a swimmer enjoying 30C heat in August.
Beachyhead

The cliffs on the south coast have all been thrown up from the ground unevenly, so as you walk along, you can see the ground in front of you. This was taken looking in an even line straight ahead.
Boat House

Quiet little boat house at Birling Gap in the Seven Sisters hills on the south coast of England.
White Cliffs

Abergavenny Castle

The view from Abergavenny Castle in a ferocious passing Welsh rainstorm – you can see the mountains to the left of the building in the view but not the right.
Garden

The crumbling walls of the 900 year old Tintern Abbey are alive with thistles and daisies and toadflax and all sorts of grasses!
Light Shadow

In the dark shadow of Tintern Abbey, the crack of light that creeps across the grass is the perfect shape of the ancient front gates.
Westing

Bus shelters in Unst are strangely accommodating, and often have chairs in or around them, even when on the main and only road across the island.
Limpets

A group of limpets at Norwick Beach, a place of geological interest as a site where oceanic crust was pushed up and stranded on continental crust 420 million years ago.
