#ScenicSaturday 30th December 2023

My photos in these continuing series show our beautiful world with the aim of encouraging viewers to share them and help save our unique home from human carelessness. I normally post pictures taken in the month concerned in each cycle, but I’m excluding December as it can be rather dull here in the UK. I …

My photos in this continuing series show our beautiful world in the hope they’ll encourage viewers to share them and help save it from human carelessness. I normally post pictures taken in the month concerned in these series, but I’m ignoring December as it can be rather dull here. I have, however, kept to the …

#ScenicSaturday 9th December 2023

My photos in this continuing series show our beautiful world in the hope they’ll encourage viewers to help save it from human carelessness. I’m ignoring the time of year, as December here can be rather dull, but sticking to the UK, so you’ll find pictures from England and Wales (I last visited the truly stunning …

My photos in this continuing series show our beautiful world in the hope they’ll encourage viewers to help save it from human carelessness. Last month, I concentrated on my local area, specifically the Forest of Dean. So, those of you who love the seas or oceans may have felt a little left out. I’ll try …
