As mentioned in my recent A Walk on Lismore post, my other favourite island walk on my summer trip to Oban was Kerrera, the island closest to Oban that protects Oban Bay from the worst of the weather. After a hearty Scottish breakfast at the B+B in Oban, I set off along Gallanach Road toward […]
After my second visit to the Simonside Hills on my summer trip to Northumberland I wanted to get back and explore more of the National Park, this time heading further north to the village of Wooler, a good base for exploring the area around The Cheviot. I set out along the lane from Wooler through […]
On the last day of my visit to St Andrews last month I’d done a sunrise shoot with glorious light, had breakfast and packed ready for the journey home, but my train wasn’t until later in the afternoon, so I had the time for a wander around the town with my OM-D for a few […]
Well, I’ve caught up on all the post-processing and it’s the last week before the Christmas break so I thought now would be as good a time as any to post a belated Travel Postcard from my summer holiday in Suffolk! We were based in Aldeburgh on the lovely Suffolk coast and for our first […]
As winter approaches I thought now would be a good time to look back at some summer photography. I had a visit to Robin Hood’s Bay in August and although this was by no means my first visit to this attractive old fishing village on the Yorkshire Coast it was the first time I’d had […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
