It’s been hot and humid here in London recently which in turn have meant lots of thunder storms. These clouds were captured as a storm was gathering and later turned into heavy rain, thunder and lightning. I was hoping to photograph some lightning but I don’t think I quite have the skills for it yet, but it’s definitely something on my list of things to capture
I’ve had to brighhten this photo slightly as sky was quite dark against the cobweb. I like the symetrical pattern of the web and how dew clings to the fine strands

I came across this iron horse whilst wandering around London. I think the deep blue coloured stones really stand out against the grey tones of the metal and I think the embellishment of the bridel and coat are amazing. The rider looks quite proud too
2013 has been an exciting year for me with regards to photography; I finally managed to get myself a DSLR and was able to take some great photos with it at some amazing places. I have also been learning more about photography through a course as well as through all of you bloggers out there. Some of you have left helpful tips, while others have left kind and encouraging words, but I think most of all I feel that having seen photos that you have taken and published on your blogs you have really set the bar high, with beautiful, amazing shots of the world around you. I thank you all for your support on my blog and for helping me see the world in a different perspective.
I hope you all have a happy and successful 2014 and I leave you with some of my favourite photos from this year.
I visited the National Gallery not long ago for the first time and it’s one of those places I’ve walked passed many times but for some reason never thought to go inside. The National Gallery houses some of the world’s most famous paintings; Van Gogh, Leonardo de Vinci and Monet being my favourites among many others. I think it will be a place that I will definitely visit again, and seeing as you can’t take photographs inside it really makes you look at the artwork and take in the detail and history of them. For more information of what’s on see http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/
I was in Central London recently and came across this giant snow globe, which I thought was very creative. The statue in the centre is there all year long but they’ve created a snow globe around it, for the winter season
I really like this photo of the London eye as the tree branches and leaves seem to frame the wheel and although the photo is in colour it appears to be in black and white
This is the pathway that leads to St Michael’s Mount in Cornwall.
Those who know about it, know that when the tide goes out the walkway becomes clear for you to walk on and leads you to the small island that has a castle or ‘mount’. The Island has many stories about it’s history, some factual, some in folklore, the most famous being it was once home to King Arthur.
Once the tide begins to come in the pathway begins to disappear beneath the waves (which I found out half way down on my way back to the mainland with my shoes getting soaked)
Once the tide is completely in from afar it seems like the pathway never existed and was perhaps even magic!
I’d love to hear your experiences of St Michael’s Mount and if you saw the tides coming in or out
I really like how this building on London’s Regent Street curves with the road, I especially like the illuminated stone of the building contrasting against the evening grey, cloudy sky.
I was in London recently trying to take a photos of landmarks in a different way. I particularly liked this photo as it shows the London eye and a decorative lamp post almost in silhouette against the cloudy sky
