I returned to the Fife Coastal Path heading away from St Andrews from East Sands. There’s an older path which forks away from the main coastal trail which leads down to a lovely viewpoint with a bench looking back over the bay towards St Andrews. But this location had much more to offer than a […]
The Rock and Spindle
Following on from the dusk and dawn shoots in St Andrews itself I decided to head south along the Fife Coastal Path to have a look at the unusual rock formation called the Rock and Spindle below Kinkell Braes between St Andrews and Boarhills. I had seen the formation once before on a longer walk […]
St Andrews at Dusk and Dawn
The weather was far from ideal during my recent trip to St Andrews, but there was still some great photography to be had at dusk and dawn. Here are a few images from the first couple of days of my visit. I headed out to the rocks at the end of West Sands, Doo Craigs, […]

We’ve had a great year – here are a few of the highlights… Despite the cold spring and the wet and […]

Travel Postcard – From Genoa to Turin
After a light breakfast at the Hotel Soana I set out to explore a bit more of Genoa at a more leisurely pace than the previous day’s wanderings in the old town. I strolled to the north of the Old Town and found the lift up to the panoramic viewpoint over the city at Castelletto, […]
Travel Postcard – Exploring the Old Town in Genoa
After my relaxing day in Riomaggiore I was up for an early breakfast and then checked out and headed into La Spezia for a quick wander down to the waterfront before catching the FrecciaBianca train up to Genoa. My hotel was the comfortable Soana, an easy walk from Brignole station and occupying the fourth floor […]
Travel Postcard – Relaxing in Riomaggiore
I looked out over the rooftops to another bright and sunny day in Riomaggiore. It was, however, somewhat windier than the previous few days and down at the harbour the boat booking office was closed with a notice saying that shipping was suspended due to the weather, so it was as well I had done […]
Travel Postcard – Porto Venere and Manarola
After a couple of days exploring the Cinque Terre by train it was time to go a little further afield and with fine sunny weather and calm seas a trip to Porto Venere by boat seemed to be in order. So, I headed down to the harbour in Riomaggiore and booked my ticket for the […]
Travel Postcard – From Corniglia to Vernazza and Levanto
I had a two day Cinque Terre pass so after my hike from Vernazza to Monterosso the previous day I was keen to explore the only other section of the coastal path that was open from Corniglia to Vernazza. I arrived at Corniglia railway station, which is some way below the village itself being perched […]
