Here we are with a whole lot of new images - and from my favourite subject, forests and trees! Some of these images go back a while... they've been laid down like fine wine and are now ready for their magic to be seen.
Thetford Forest may be young but it is one of my favourite locations. Always something special to be experienced and captured in super-high resolution panoramic format.
Here's Hill House Wood in Essex in peak bluebell season in May. A very special place, captured here as a 6:1 panoramic, again, super-high resolution, as all my panoramic images are.
Rhinefield Forest Drive in the New Forest is certainly one of the finest treescapes in Britain. Well worth a visit if you are ever there.
Another super-high resolution panorama, this time capturing the more delicate colours of Autumn.
If you are sensing a theme amongst this latest batch of images, then you'd get top marks for observation... Autumn and Spring are my two favourite times to visit woods and forests. Don't ask me to choose between them though - both have their magic!
This is Dockey Wood in Buckinghamshire. One of the most magnificent bluebell spectacles in Britain, no doubt. There had been a lot of rain previous to my visit on this occasion and the mud was so deep in places, it felt like the Somme. Still, the struggle was worth it to return with such beautiful images.
One of the grandest forest views in Britain is at Rhinefield Forest Drive in the New Forest. You can see the two tallest Giant Redwoods in the UK in a magnificent vista. They are just babies at 170 years old - the adults are double this height and three times the width at the base!
We'll close this blog post with another delicate Autumnal colours image from Thetford Forest. It's a joy and a privilege to be able to capture such beauty and peace - they are so much needed in the world right now.
After a bit of a break, I'm pleased to say I'm back! Expect to see a lot more happening round these parts in the days and months to come.
And straightaway, we have exciting news - my annual Art Sale. Just in time for the festive season, my artworks make unique gifts for loved ones.

I'm delighted to be exhibiting my Super High Resolution Licensed Images at Sign and Digital Show 2019 for the first time, to the one industry that really needs BIG images! See us on stand E22. Only one week to go!
We were commissioned to produce multiple artwork installations for the very large new Emergency Department at Wythenshawe Hospital, Manchester. Emergency Departments are places of anxiety, high drama, pain, shock and, occasionally, major trauma. The artworks had to transmit a calming, healing quality to the environment, whilst being easy to deep clean, very durable, beautiful and with great longevity. A combination of my Manchester cityscapes and local nature images with PhotoGlassWorks Front Lit and PhotoWall products fitted the bill perfectly. The very large walls provided us with a chance to install some of our very wide panoramic installations - one of which is 8.1m wide in a 20+m corridor! The full gallery can be viewed here.
