For several years now I have longed to visit Svalbard. A land where the sun never sets in summer, nor rises in winter. A land 60% covered with glaciers and home to exciting wildlife such as polar bears and walrus. And finally this year I made it.

Who hasn’t been mesmerised at times by the sight and sound of the sea? Watching the movement of waves, whether on the shore or from a ship, can be almost hypnotising, or so I find. The post Gallery: moving through Arctic waters appeared first on Travel with me.| Travel with me
What is it about doors that so often compels us to photograph them? Is it their ability to spark curiosity, suggesting something hidden just beyond? Or is it more simply their visual appeal, as they are often the most ornate or interesting element of a building?

Everyone who visits the Arctic hopes to see a polar bear and I was no exception. But I was realistic in my expectations. I knew that regulations recently introduced prohibit ships and zodiac boats from approaching closer than 300 metres.

One of the first things I was told when I first started to take photos as a ten year old was, always have the sun behind you when you shoot. Rubbish! That will of course result in a scene that is evenly lit and easy to capture. But it may also result in a scene that lacks interest.

Our June heatwaves stretched into the first half of July before more normal London summer weather returned: warm but not hot, and with the odd day of rain. But whatever the weather, we found plenty of opportunities to get out and about. Although we didn’t leave London during this particular month.

Back in the ninth century AD King Alfred the Great made Winchester the capital of England. The city remained influential through the medieval period, thanks to its cathedral and royal connections, before eventually being eclipsed by London. Even today it remains a beautiful and historic city. It also holds a special place in the hearts of many lovers of English literature, mine included, as the final resting place of Jane Austen.

There are many ways to learn. We can watch someone else and copy (or try to copy) what they do. We can read instructions and guidelines. We can listen while somebody tells us how to do something. Or we can get stuck in, have a go, and learn from our experiments and efforts. The post Gallery: learning through practice appeared first on Travel with me.| Travel with me
Thanks to Becky we are currently flooding the blogging world with reds, and proving (if we hadn’t already known) just how many shades of that colour exist! And I was sure if I browsed through some of my archive folders I would find plenty more red images to share. The post Gallery: simply red part two appeared first on Travel with me.| Travel with me
Although all black and white photos are monochrome photos, not all monochrome photos have to be black and white. Monochrome comes from the Greek monochromos meaning ‘having one colour’. But why shouldn’t that one colour be green, beige, or orange? Or for that matter, grey, red or blue? The post Gallery: having one colour appeared first on Travel with me.| Travel with me
