Cadgwith: A Photo Essay – Exploring a Perfect Cornish Seaside Village

August 31, 2020 By Jonathan 2 Comments

Until we visited this lovely Cornish seaside village on our drive from Land's End to John O'Groats in 2018, I had never heard of it. Our hosts who were showing us around Cornwall we’re quick to inform us that this village was quite famous with most Britons. It is known as a ‘typical’ seaside Cornish village, and scenes of its boats in the harbour adorn calendars all over … [Read more...] about Cadgwith: A Photo Essay – Exploring a Perfect Cornish Seaside Village

Sunday Photo: A Lovely Shot of the Golden Afternoon Sun on Gold Hill in Shaftesbury, Dorset For Your Desktop Wallpaper

October 19, 2014 By Jonathan

This is my favorite picture from our last trip to England. We stayed on Gold Hill, located in Shaftesbury, Dorset in Updown Cottage - the white cottage in the center - for the Christmas holidays and had a lovely time. Every day I waited for the light to be right - just when the golden afternoon sun hit the hill at the right angle. I finally snapped this picture towards the end … [Read more...] about Sunday Photo: A Lovely Shot of the Golden Afternoon Sun on Gold Hill in Shaftesbury, Dorset For Your Desktop Wallpaper

British Landscapes Photography: The New Forest – Britain’s smallest National Park

May 20, 2013 By Derek Fogg

My last post was about my trip to the Isle of Wight and on the way back I took the opportunity to make my first visit to our smallest National Park - New Forest. Although the best time of year to visit is late Summer when the heather colour is at its peak on the heathland or Autumn when the deciduous woods are ablaze with green, yellow and orange colours, it did give me the … [Read more...] about British Landscapes Photography: The New Forest – Britain’s smallest National Park

British Landscapes Photography – Diamonds in the Landscape

December 31, 2012 By Derek Fogg

The end of 2012 will not just see the end of the Queens Diamond Jubilee but the end of two years of celebration for six of Britain's national parks. The next Diamond anniversary in the parks will not be till 2014 so I thought it was worthwhile just revisiting those six parks and sharing with you one of my favourite images from each park. I have been fortunate to visit all six … [Read more...] about British Landscapes Photography – Diamonds in the Landscape

British Landscapes: Churches, Chapels and Crosses

November 26, 2012 By Derek Fogg

This week I thought we would have something totally different. Churches, Chapels and Crosses but still set within the landscape.

So I have … [Read more...] about British Landscapes: Churches, Chapels and Crosses

British Landscapes Photography: Britain’s Beautiful Heritage Coasts

October 15, 2012 By Derek Fogg

Until now we have made brief visits to two-thirds of the National Parks so I thought we would have a change and take a look at some of the Heritage Coasts.  The scheme was started in 1972 to protect coastlines of special scenic and environmental value from undesirable development. Heritage Coasts are only in England and Wales with Scotland having a different system which we … [Read more...] about British Landscapes Photography: Britain’s Beautiful Heritage Coasts

British Landscapes Photography: Britain’s Beautiful Breathing Spaces

September 17, 2012 By Derek Fogg

Following my recent introductory post I thought it best to start by providing  you with an overview of the key scenic areas of the British Isles and where better to start than with the national parks of England, Scotland and Wales of which there are currently fifteen.  Ten are in England, three in Wales and two in Scotland. There are currently no national parks in Northern … [Read more...] about British Landscapes Photography: Britain’s Beautiful Breathing Spaces
