Photography
Pausing on my hike to Place Fell to remember Mike Town (M.A.T.), my departed friend and neighbour in Keswick. Seeing again - but now on my own with my memories - the Patterdale pubs, the church and the George Starkey Hut, with its inspiring roster of famous climbers as past guests: Mike mentored at least one Everest summiteer.
Patterdale so enchanted Mike when he visited as a young child that he kept coming back here to hike the fells, study the weather and to make music. There’s a modest memorial plaque under the ancient Yew tree in the churchyard but Mike’s ultimate memorials are the ppe organs he rebuilt, played and passed on for the future.

Photographs from a walk around Arles. My photographic reactions on this day to the many inspiring shapes, textures and views among these ancient streets of the Provence town which is well-known to photographers.
My interpretation of the Via San Giovanni in historic Saluzzo in Piemonte. This angle of view does not exist so I have painted the elements in a montage of a number my photos (so not AI).
View of Wast Water as a squally shower develops over the Lake District’s highest fells. Minutes later we were struck by hail and cold rain.
