Alone, we're never alone.

Found this image lurking around and thought I'd share it with you, this guy was alone at the side of the road in a glen in Scotland last year.
I say alone , alone in fact except for the 20 or so tourists that were watching.

Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal Water Garden 3 ( Hopefully not The Last Crusade )

I'm not particularly religious and I don't want to get into a debate about religion here.

I accept the concept of god, but I'm afraid the idea of religion to me is a little too subjective.

However I love places if worship and the serenity that comes with them. Shortly after taking this shot at Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal Water Garden's we stopped to speak to a fellow sitting drawing, an ex-secondary school teacher now retired, he was the leader if an art group on a day outing. His work was superb and watching him sitting in such a peaceful place made me realise how great it must be to reach that time in your life and have a hobby that you can take anywhere with little carriage or fuss.

May we all find ourselves in such a favourable situation when the time comes.

Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal Water Garden 2 ( Raider's of the lost Abbey )

Just thought I'd share this shot of Val, also taken at Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal Water Garden, we had just spent a few moments speaking to a gentleman who was drawing inside the abbey ruins, he had told us he ran a drawing/painting class in Harrogate and they were there on a days drawing expedition, something they had done three times in Venice amongst other destinations. Lovely bloke, great artist, made you realise how much there is to life when you find a hobby/talent that you can take anywhere.

Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal Water Garden

We managed to get away last week for a few days, our destination this time around was Yorkshire. The shots above are of Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal Water Garden . This place was fabulous and struck me as a great place to host weddings, only to discover later that day that they were advertising just that in the ladies toilets.

( not that I saw the ad myself you understand ! )

Pre-wedding shoot

Anyone who knows Gary and myself personally will know that we are both musicians . Though I use the word musician loosely with Gary, as he is actually a drummer.

Later in the year I'll be doing the photos for Sue and Gary's wedding, but for now here are a few images from his pre-wedding shoot .

Happy doing nothing.

There's nothing quite like watching other poeple work when your on your holiday's !

Pre-wedding shoot

Last weekend we had the pleasure of doing a pre-wedding shoot with Lisa and Mick. Here are a few of the images from the shoot. Can't wait for the big day, I'm sure it's going to be a blast.
