A walk through place and time
The focus of the walk is often in my thoughts and always in view as I draw closer to the village in which I have made my home in rural Aberdeenshire in the North East of Scotland. That focus is Barra Hill, an iron-age hill-fort that defines the landscape surrounding the village where I live more
Lyme Disease
I don’t know if it was before or after my trip to London that I decided to write an article on ticks and Lyme disease but since I did start writing, my level of Lyme disease paranoia has been a bit scary. more

Tiger Beach
I visited Dail Beag bay on the West coast of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides on a dull grey day. Rather than the broader view, I found myself looking at the near landscape and more specifically an area a few meters square. more

Man and mountains in Greenland

Paul Kenny and Doug Chinnery
We’ve got a couple of books to review in this issue, both by Kozu and both authors have been featured in On Landscape.

Melt in the Icelandic Highlands
Every year the melt occurs at a different time in the Highlands of Iceland. Depending on the weather and snowfall over the winter the patterns and textures can vary wildly. more
Quiver Trees
On a camping and photo tour of South Africa’s North Cape State (North West on the Atlantic and South of Namibia) I spent several nights in the part of the Richtersveld National Park that is home to Quiver Trees (Aloidendron dichotomum). more

This portfolio is about the journey of the two souls, who have found each other. The images express the process of the relationship between two souls, expressing their love in time and space. more
Of Sea, Life and Freedom
I've selected some of those photos that have made me feel free. I wish I could share with the world the huge joys behind what many consider to be a sacrifice or a luxury. Nature shouldn’t be seen in that way. more
