Memories of Cumbria. The same tree, taken five minutes after the previous ‘memory’. I always say that there is one ‘best’ place to take a picture from but perhaps there are two. And if there are two….

Ten years ago today I decided to go out and photograph a tree. I’d bought a camera in the Feb but it was mostly just used for walking shots till this. One shot was all it took to start my obsession with photography. A non stop downward spiral. Here’s to the next ten years

Why does the Lake District need to be more accessible. People love it for its natural beauty & lack of tarmac. They need to adapt to it, not the other way round, otherwise we lose sight of what's important in this life. Its in danger of becoming an over full expensive theme park
