Beach landscape captured on 2nd January 2023 - the first time I have picked up my camera since August 12th 2022! It is unheard of that I would avoid my camera for 4 days, never mind 4 months. There is a deeper story behind that which I may share one day.
The beach here at Troon, Scotland, had been altered by the winter storms and spring tides carrying flotsam right up to the sand dunes. I loved the low afternoon sun catching the sharply formed ridges in the sand here and captured this blindly at arms length. I love the result. Enjoy!

It's no conspiracy... the pigeons really are revolting!
Just a fun non-people focused shot I captured in March 2019. Captured at arms length with some guesswork, there was no way I was getting down on the ground right there! Enjoy!

Street photography from Barnsley, England.
Captured in November 2018 and previously unpublished. There was a lot of this style of graffiti around Barnsley town centre, mostly alien themed, and this strange spot in the town included a dark pigeon filled alcove. There were benches but more importantly an oddly placed reflective surface that was perfect for the shot I had in mind. I just had to keep walking by this spot to time it for the reflected people to match the story I had imagined. Oh yes, I don't have the patience to sit in wait for the right moment to arrive. Enjoy!

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
A previously unpublished 'snapshot' of cuddliness on the streets of the city. Captured in September 2019.
I was going to post something spooky and wish people a Happy Halloween but I can't bring myself to do so having seen the news from South Korea.
My thoughts are with all those caught up in and affected by the horrific incident in Itaewon, Seoul, during what should have been a night of fun.
Stay safe my Flickr friends.
