A small, uninhabited islet off the coast of the Greek island of Samos. Taken in September 2016. Bright and sunny here today, but busy, so I give you a picture from the past to enjoy. If you’re visiting here, please be generous to those who can’t escape their own four walls at present, and share …

The upper part of the village, mostly hidden by the trees of the forest. If you’re visiting here, please be generous to those who can’t escape their own four walls at present, and share this widely with them on social media, so they can enjoy it. Thank you.
Walking through Imbros Gorge on the Greek island of Crete. Taken in July 2008 Dull day here in the Forest of Dean, so a picture of somewhere bright and warm to cheer up your day. If you’re visiting here, please be generous to those who can’t escape their own four walls at present, and share …

The shaded track on the way to the heights of Symonds Yat Rock. All this year, we’ve been hoping for a sight of some of our local wildlife. The nearest we’ve been is a brief audible encounter with a family of wild boar feasting in a large area of bracken, and a pair of the …

Storm clouds gather over the Worm's Head on the Gower Peninsula in Wales. Taken in September 2019. If you’re visiting here, please be generous to those who can’t escape their own four walls at present, and share this widely with them on social media, so they can enjoy it. Thank you.
Mallard's Pike, A popular place in the Forest of Dean. A little too 'manicured' for our tastes, as we prefer the wild places, but a pleasant enough place for a visit. We did a 6 mile walk around the lake and across the hills to another new spot. Now the kids are back in school, …

A cave close to the shoreline, on the Greek island of Rhodes. Taken in September 2010. It makes you wonder, did ancient Greeks live here? A damp, grey day here in the forest, so a picture of a hot, dry place instead! If you’re visiting here, please be generous to those who can’t escape their …

A view from the Forest of Dean, overlooking open countryside from one of the many hills in the area. If you’re visiting here, please be generous to those who can’t escape their own four walls at present, and share this widely with them on social media, so they can enjoy it. Thank you.
Islets off the coast of the Greek island of Rhodes. Taken October 2017. If you’re visiting here, please be generous to those who can’t escape their own four walls at present, and share this widely with them on social media, so they can enjoy it. Thank you.
The contrast here caught my eye on a dull day in the Forest of Dean. Dull days don’t always mean dull photographs. If the lighting and exposure are right, a brighter scene can often result. If you’re visiting here, please be generous to those who can’t escape their own four walls at present, and share …

A fisherman's hut on the coast of the Greek island of Crete. When I took this in July 2008, you could, if you wished, buy freshly caught fish from the guy who lived here for the summer. If you’re visiting here, please be generous to those who can’t escape their own four walls at present, …

Fishing pond in a shower. Taken September 2019. The promised sunshine failed to materialise today. Rain threatened on our walk, but only began to fall as we reached home. So, today, I share a picture taken last year on 1st September. On that day, we were visiting a local fishing pond when the rain began. …

Thought I'd give you this challenging track running in the mountains of the Greek island of Samos. The day was bright, hot and dry. Taken in October 2016. Today is the first day of ‘meteorological autumn’ here in the UK. The weather apparently doesn’t know that, and it’s been rather pleasant. If you’re visiting here, …

Sunny intervals brighten the path on a walk through the Forest of Dean. If you’re visiting here, please be generous to those who can’t escape their own four walls at present, and share this widely on social media, so they can enjoy it. Thank you.
Looking down at the village church; so quintessentially English! A bright start to the day, with cloud slowly populating the sky as the morning progressed. Having been unable to take longish walks recently, we took a circular route around the valley while the weather was good. We revisited some tracks we haven’t used for over …
