An airborne image of the Mont Blanc range in the European Alps. This was taken from a flight back to the UK from Italy. It is a black and white image showing the rugged mountains of the Alps against the white snow cover - some of it blanketing glacier ice. There is also swirling cloud.

I'm reposting this image for #Sharemondays2026 this week. It shows the Mont Blanc range in the European Alps, taken from the air on a flight back to the UK from Italy.

I was treated to some amazing views of the Mont Blanc Massif yesterday, on a flight back from Naples. Glad I had my camera with me.

Dramatic skies over a boiling Loch. The waves' backwash runs among the foreground boulders.

Off to Skye soon with a very poor forecast. I'm keeping fingers crossed for a morning like this one. #ThinkTank #nikon #kasefilters #opoty #skye #elgol

Here are my 4 entries for the March round of #FSPrintMonday. These are all tree and woodland shots from my local area.

Whilst it's chucking it down now and blowing a gale, earlier in the week there was mist hanging low and it was incredibly still and silent in the forest.

Damp and dreary in Grizedale Forest, but very atmospheric nonetheless.

Visitors to the garden this morning - a bolshy bullfinch, a chubby chaffinch and a siskin who seemed to have a chip on his/her shoulder.
