A combination of the seasons, the light and the landscape can provide beautiful and dramatic views anywhere in Wales. We just need to be there at those times.

Three photographs that my son Matt took while travelling in the USA.

This already iconic structure which at the time of completion and opening in 2012 was the tallest in Europe at 308.7 metres (1013 feet) but has now been surpassed in height by the Vostok Tower in Moscow at 373.7 metres (1227) feet.

The ray path of light from the setting Sun is highly distorted near the horizon because of atmospheric refraction, making the sunset appear to occur when the Sun’s disk is already about one diameter below the horizon.

Two very different "Selfies"

Photographs taken on trips to Scotland showing some of the land and seascapes.

Generally recycling centres are very organised and categorise everything that we take in there and often we can find something we want or they might even fix up old bikes. People are very creative when it comes to using anything that is "useful" to them that is. One mans junk is another womans' treasure.

A beach anywhere is always a delight to visit and spend time on.

Many species of mushrooms seemingly appear overnight, growing or expanding rapidly. This phenomenon is the source of several common expressions in the English language including "to mushroom" or "mushrooming" (expanding rapidly in size or scope) and "to pop up like a mushroom" (to appear unexpectedly and quickly). In reality all species of mushrooms take several days to form primordial mushroom fruit bodies, though they do expand rapidly by the absorption of fluids.

Psilocybin mushrooms have likely been used since prehistoric times and may have been depicted in rock art. Many cultures have used these mushrooms in religious rites. In modern societies, they are used recreationally for their psychedelic effects.

Some photographs from around London

Landscape can be as varied as farmland, a landscape park, or wilderness.

Honey bees represent only a small fraction of the roughly 20,000 known species of bees. Some other types of related bees produce and store honey, but only members of the genus Apis are true honey bees. The study of honey bees is known as apiology. Nectar, a liquid high in sucrose, is produced in plant glands known as nectaries. It is an important energy resource for honey bees

Its wonderful to see one family getting in the hay harvest on their farm.

Hampstead Heath is one of London's largest open spaces covering 320 acres. in the 1790s, George Saunders, the 2nd Earl’s architect from 1794–6, built a dairy for the Earl’s wife, Louisa. Stock Photo by Paddy Bergin

An eclectic collection of photographs

Functional, necessary and beautiful in their many forms and then the alchemy of cooking.

From wild Cornfield Flowers on Hampstead Heath, London to wild Roses on the allotment.

Dreamy places to be and there is the also the fishing.

All photos taken at a fireworks competition in the grounds of a stately home in the Midlands.

Some aspects and places visited while camping.

Butterflies are such an emblem of Summer.

Nothing like walking through woods carpeted in blue.

Interesting watching these birds feeding. The difference between the finches and various Tits and the Robin is that the Robin can't or doesn't know how to hang on and has to grab the food while hovering.

One of the best food colours especially when its cooked.

The light, colours and smells of Autumn are in these pictures.

An allotment is like a Painter's palette.
