A New Photo Gallery
UPDATED: Antarctica collection added 29th May 2010
I’ve recently added a Gallery to the Wild Vista blog. There are three collections of photos available initially — images from Scotland, New Zealand and Antarctica. I’ll continue to add my favourite pics in time, and hope that they provide some inspiration for your own trips, treks and travels.
Click Gallery on the menu above to see the pics. Comments on the collections or individual photos are welcome. To comment on a specific photo, you’ll need to click Show Details once you’ve selected the photo. Enjoy!

A Kinder Sunset
Living within spitting distance of the hills has opened up all sorts of photographic opportunities. For one, I’m now much better placed to take full advantage of the golden hour, that brief period at the beginning and end of each day when the light can take on an almost magical character, temporarily transforming the landscape with subtle gradations of tone and colour that are denied to most daytime vistitors.
Chrome Hill and Parkhouse Hill — a local walk
I’d had my eye on this one for a while. Looking for a decent local walk (by which I mean something that starts and finishes at my front door in Higher Buxton), the obvious contender for the “long” version — something that would while away a complete morning or afternoon — was a bimble southwards over Grin Low (paying a quick visit to Solomon’s Temple) and out to Chrome Hill and Parkhouse Hill.
7 Ways to Use Google “Street View”
It wasn’t long ago that I posted about Google Street View’s surprising devotion to the minor road north of Loch Quoich (surprising given the otherwise very patchy UK coverage). Well, it seems they were just testing the water, because in mid-March, they went live with 99% coverage of the UK.
Putting My Best Feet Forward
Every now and then, usually when I’m knackered after a few hours’ trekking and taking a well earned rest, I’ll drag the camera out and take a “Point of View” shot. Having had some time recently to organise my image library in a vaguely useful way (using Adobe Lightroom), I’ve been able to collect a few of these images together.
