This is the second week of six where I am looking back at walks I have taken in the past, this one features a much loved forest woodland which I have enjoyed many, many times and in all seasonal conditions. My walk this week focuses on images I took in May 2010 before I had my Canon DSLR cameras. Continue reading

The Road from Skanda Vale – Reviewing the Walk
The first of six weeks of looking back at walks I have done in the past took me to Skanda Vale and an extensive woodland in Carmarthenshire, Wales. I can’t remember what prompted me to go there but the ditch hikers walk, as it is known, was a good discovery. Continue reading
Alone On the Track but with Golden Wings
On my walk this week I was again alone on the track – but that’s not me in the image, just a lonely tuft of grass. I wasn’t lonely on this walk near Skanda Vale in the countryside of Carmarthenshire, just alone – and for the purposes of StillWalks production, photography and field recording, being alone is generally preferable. My closest companion on this walk is in the first shot below in the form of a fascinating golden winged insect Continue reading

Pagham Boardwalk – Setting (Cropping) the Scene
It’s the combination of lines and textures I like about my choice of image at the head of today’s post about my walk at Pagham on the south coast of England. The photo has been cropped a bit to help provide a better sense of the scene and it is the undulations of the boardwalk as it spans the shingle of the foreshore that initially attracted my eye. Continue reading
Hole in the Wall – A Gift to My Eye
This hole in the wall, found along my walk this week around Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve and shore, was a gift to my eye. Rust, decay, nature taking over – all things enjoyable to me to see.Continue reading
