Landscapes

Dusk over Lake Coniston. Going to the Lake District in winter is a good way
to pick up some easy pictures of dramatic landscapes. The light is low all
day, and sunrise and sunset are slow, so there's less of a rush as the hues
change at the ends of the day. Fuji Velvia is the perfect film for bringing
out rich natural colours like these.

A glacier just to the south of the Col d'Iseran. I forget the glacier's
name and I don't have my map handy. Damn.

The Lac de Lhurs, which nestles at the foot of le Billare in the
Pyrenees. We hiked up here and camped in a small stone shelter
overnight, and woke up to this view. Result.

A fantastic winding trail runs down an Alpine valley, just crying out
to have a bike ridden down it...

A rainbow arching over a lone tree on the coast near Highcliffe. I was
a bit peeved by the soaking I got just before this, but when the rain
stopped and I turned round, it was worth it.
