Gallery of Photos from Portugal
Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to visit two of Portugal’s cities, Lisbon and Porto (with a side trip to the village of Sintra). I’ve now published a gallery of my photos from the trip and you can see them here.
Both cities are worth a visit with sites and culture abounding in each. I could have spent a day inside Lisbon’s wonderful monastery, or another just exploring the hilly streets below the castle. In Porto, when the sun shone, there might have been nothing better than to sit by the river and gaze up at that captivating bridge.
I would have hoped for better weather for my day trip to Sintra, but you can’t win them all. I had to content myself with indoor shots of that strange village’s eclectic sites. The fog when I got to the Palace of Pena made for rubbish photography: “Here’s a shot of a castle. No really, I promise, there’a castle in there somewhere!” I’ve spared you the flat white shots.
Instead, enjoy some of the sights Portugal’s cities have to offer.
Gallery of Copenhagen Photos
I know a lot of people have been pretending 2016 didn’t happen and that includes me. I just skipped that year. Forget about it. That means no blog posts were necessary.
But it’s a new year, so I’ll try to be at least somewhat more active here and to get that started, I’d like to present you with a batch of photos from Copenhagen. These images have languished unseen for too long on my hard drive, so have a look and enjoy. Click the photo below to see more.
Photos in the 2016 Scottish Field Calendars
2016 approaches and you’re going to to need some way to remind yourself not to scribble the wrong date on your cheques (if you still write cheques). What better way to do it than with some lovely images from Scotland?
A few of my photos are featured in two of the Scottish Field Calendars for 2016 including my image of Dunvegan Castle on the cover of the mini version of the calendar. You can preview/buy the mini calendar here and the regular one here. Below, you’ll find the images they’ve used.
And there are plenty more of my images of Scotland here and here.
Jordan Gallery Posted
Another long-overdue collection of images is finally live on my site. Please take a moment to browse my photos of Jordan here.
Though a not insubstantial time has passed since my visit, the memories are as vivid as could be. Here’s just a quick sample: Hiking in Petra, hitchhiking with some random moustached man whose car interior was totally and completely wrapped in cling film and who smelled like candy, floating in the Dead Sea, leaping from ledges into sand dunes and racing down them like a kid, getting pelted in the back with a stone by some seven year old girl (wtf!), getting chased by camels, balancing precariously on giant natural arches, walking in Moses’ footsteps, exploring medieval castles and forts, having an ibex steal a potato from us, eating some pretty great food, listening to the haunting, synchronised call to prayer alone on a hilltop beneath a roman ruin in Amman, rescuing a donkey from a cliff, etc..
There are plenty more memories to be shared in photo form, so please visit the gallery.
Istanbul Gallery Posted
I’ve just posted a new gallery of images. These come from Istanbul, Turkey.
These photos are from my second time visiting the city. During my first trip there, a trip filled with wonderful chance encounters, spectacular sights, delicious food, and a distinct sense of magic, I knew I would go back. Just thinking about it makes me want to visit again.

Second Gallery of Scotland Photos
My photos of Scotland are some of my most popular, so I saw that as an opportunity to visit that magical land again (and again) to get more photos to share with you. Here’s my second instalment of photos from Scotland.
And as a bonus, my original Scotland gallery has also received a few new additions. Enjoy!
