Water, Stone & Wood: A Textural Exploration

Here's the full collection in one post. It's been a lot of fun selecting editing and presenting these images.

I hope you've enjoyed the collection as much as I have. Let me know your favourite in the comments below

It’s been good to scroll through some of my Iceland photos again. I liked this one mainly because of the contrast in textures, ice and rock. I printed this one for an exhibition and it works a lot better on paper than a wee screen. The glacier looks like it could be an etching.

I’ve been really moved by the response to my Let’s Create Mentoring.

Four of the six spaces have now quietly filled.

I’m grateful for the trust.

If you’ve been sitting with it, there are two spaces remaining.

A gloomy day at the marina; and an empty boat slip, rope wrapped around a cleat, waiting for the arrival of a boat, on an old wood dock.

Elon Musk has been allowed to pollute the night skies with his shit satellites and must not be allowed to further pollute space by expanding capitalism to the moon.

Grounded Sky

Catching the sky reflected in a rock pool was a nice treat.

Namibia's east winds often turn its coastal dunes into an unnavigable inferno. We went straight in! Blowing sand stung our feet, pelted our equipment, filled our eyes. But time stood still: We were immersed in a world of astonishing beauty, gone too soon.⁠

The Grand Mosque.

A magnificent structure in Abu Dhabi and one that is often photographed. Regardless, once there I was keen to visit and explore both inside and outside the mosque. The evening I took this image the reflections in the pool were perfect.

'Water Under the Bridge'

Majestic Victorian steel holds the line above the flowing river Tyne while future music glows on the far bank.

Sparty 🙏🏼

This photo captures a dramatic and detailed vertical view of the Newcastle-Gateshead Quayside in North East England at the atmospheric time of dusk. The immediate foreground is dominated by the serene, mirror-like surface of the River Tyne, which takes up the entire lower half of the image. The water reflects the scene above in deep, tranquil hues of indigo, purple, and black. On the bottom left, the dark, wet concrete edge of the quayside provides a sharp textural contrast to the smooth water and the blurred reflection of the massive bridge arch that extends down into this section. Horizontally spanning the entire middle of the frame is the roadway of the iconic Tyne Bridge. The strong, straight lines of the bridge's road contrast with the arching structure above. The structure itself is painted a dark green and is illuminated by a few small, warm-toned streetlights. A small, white leisure boat is visible moored on the right-hand side of the riverbank in this area. The background is rich with architectural landmarks. Towering overhead is the immense steel arch of the Tyne Bridge, with its complex network of girders forming an intricate pattern against the sky. On the far, south bank of the river in Gateshead, the architecturally significant The Glasshouse International Centre for Music glows brightly. This modern venue has a unique, curved, shell-like roof made of glass and stainless steel panels, illuminated warmly with yellow, pink, and white light from within. Further in the distance, to the left of the Glasshouse, the slender, elegant white arch of the pedestrian Gateshead 'Blinking Eye' Millennium Bridge can be seen. Above all of this, the sky is a moody canvas of heavy grey and purple clouds, adding a sense of drama to the vibrant city lights below. Thank you for reading ☺️

I’m sad to say that we are at the back end of summer, and the sun is already late to the morning. So there was no sky action when I was out early, but the lure of city lights dancing on the inky depths of Sydney Harbour made my pulse quicken.
