Cambridge University


Would be wonderful to have known this in medieval times

Walking along the White Cliffs of Dover


This is really a very nice walk even in winter. The air from the Channel is brisk and the sight is wonderful. The track does tend to become a bit wet in places.

A Viaduct over a river in South Wales

Nearly got run over by a teenager on a motor bike taking this shot

Petworth park, a very pleasant place to walk on a winters day.

A street in Salisbury UK


A side street off the main square. Salisbury is an old market town.

Brighton Pier UK

A fantastic Pier. Takes me back to the 60's. The beach is all pebbles though. Hard on the feet. I like Brighton, has a great atmosphere.

Early noe morning in Petworth ( West Sussex UK)

A lovely morning shot with the new days snow. Not too sure of the camera's settings but my new lens did the trick

Franz Joseph Glacier New Zealand


Next time I will go for a walk on the Glacier.

Routeburn Track New Zealand.



On towards the first Cabin after about 5 hours of trekking. Each photograph shows one side of where I was standing. The first shows in the background the swing bridge over the river. 

Notre Dame, Paris


Unlike the UK, entry is free. Another beautiful cathedral in Europe

Another part of the Canyon, Evans Look out


Less vegetation at this part of the canyon

First canyon at the bottom of Evans Lookout Blue Mountains NSW,


The walk down from the look out is a long series of steps. The first canyon has plenty of vegetation and a creek. The next level down to the final canyon is quite rugged

Cotswolds Village


Yea Old England in the Cotswolds


Arlington Row: The picturesque Arlington Row cottages were built in 1380 as a monastic wool store

Salisbury Cathedral


Salisbury Cathedral, formally known as the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is an Anglican cathedral in Salisbury, England, and one of the leading examples of Early English architecture.[1] The main body of the cathedral was completed in only 38 years, from 1220 to 1258.
The cathedral has the tallest church spire in the United Kingdom (123m/404 ft). 

London Bridge


Oxford University


A short cut in between colleges.

More Mummies, British Museum

Always a people crush in this part of the Museum.

All Saints Church Wittering Circa 9th Century..


The church has Saxon and Norman arches. Built in the 800's AD.

Buckingham Palace On a Sunny October Day

Sunny day in London given it was in Autumn. Always busy here

Salisbury Cathedral

One of my favourite places in the UK if not in the world. A magnificent piece of work, just a joy to walk inside. Every time I come to the UK I visit here.

Roman Baths, Bath UK

First I thought the entrance fee of 14 pounds excessive but once inside I enjoyed the experience.

Cleopatra's Mummy, British Museum

I believe,accordingly to x-rays, that she was only 17 years old when she died.

Wales: On the way to Snowdonia

On the road to Snowdonia. A lovely drive in North Wales with beautiful scenery


A winters day in Petworth


One does not expect to find an Indian restaurant in a old small town in the countryside.
The food was very poor, I do not know why Indian restaurants have to make their meals for UK citizens so differently from other places in the world. Over priced and frankly just not good enough
