I’m slowly getting back to posting regularly now the incredibly busy (and tiring) month of December is (almost) over…

This bridge across Burbage Brook in the Peak District is a very popular spot with visitors but it’s still possible to get a few quiet moments…

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Six years ago it was the Forth Bridge, from both North and South Queensferry…

Sadly, the Albert Hotel at North Queensferry had closed its doors the previous year and as far as I know it still hasn’t reopened.
