I begin this latest blog entry with another personal interest – photographs.

Across many years I have taken plenty of images on my walks including some shots I’m particularly fond of, a range of landscapes captured via phone and digital camera.

World Photography Day took place this week so for this new blog article let the words stop and let the pictures take centre stage attached with their captions. Below is a fine selection.
