The new website is online!

Well, finally after a long Hoohah, I have managed to get my new website online yesterday evening.
What you see will be the first basic shell, but for now it will do.
I am delighted that I have managed to pull this one off with a completely new program, which has caused me the one or the other few new grey hair.
I hope you will enjoy it the same than you did with the old site, visitor number show me that it is already in demand... thanks for visiting!

SWPP Gold awards February

In February I have entered 4 images in the monthly SWPP competition. The pet entry was nominated a "Gold" award.

I did not expect to get gold for this one at all, the one I thought would do well only got a bronze...

How one can be wrong... *laughs*

The departure

On Sunday 9th Julie and Colin Angus ( http://www.angusadventures.com/ ) finally set off from Duncansby Head, Caithness, Scotland on their trip to Syria.

Again, I wish them well, have a good and safe journey!

The rowed trip...

Having finally met Colin and Julie Angus http://www.angusadventures.com/rowedtrip/index.html on Thursday this week, I could hardly wait to "shoot" them on Friday.
We went to John o` Groats where Julie and Colin let their two fantastic boats Tantalum and Niobium into scottish waters for the first time.
They had a great time rowing in and around the little harbour.

Today was the big departure day for their journey from North of Scotland to Syria. I really hope that all goes well on your trip and that you will have a smooth journey and return home safe and sound in 5 months.

It was fantastic meeting you!

Photography Monthly Photo Magazine

Back at Christmas Lisa from Photography Monthly contacted me yet again and asked if I would have any good storm photos.

As skies are a favourite subject of mine I gave her a good selection of what I thought might be suitable images.

In the March issue they have published 7 of my photos.
