Evocative Fine Art Photography, Poetry & Reflections
From the windswept heights of Scout Moor and the South Pennines, to quiet woodland encounters across the UK countryside.
Each piece weaves visual storytelling with creative writing.
Here, photography and poetry intersect to explore nature, stillness, recovery, and memory.

““The silence of a photograph lingers within the frame, where light and memory learn each other’s name.””
Parallel Dream: Marsh Orchid Macro Photography
Deep in a UK wetland, flat on my face among six-foot reeds, I captured "Parallel Dream"—a delicate wild marsh orchid glowing in morning light. Here is the photo, field notes, and the hilarious story of startling a passing dog walker along the way!
The Royal Ascot Mushroom: A Woodland Photography Poem
Step into nature's haute couture. "The Royal Ascot Mushroom" pairs fine art woodland photography with a whimsical poem celebrating the elegant, hat-like forms found hidden on the forest floor.
Photographing Scout Moor Wind Farm (A Story & Poem)
Discover moody landscape photography from Scout Moor Wind Farm in the South Pennines. Battling freezing winds and peat bogs, Rochdale photographer Ste Walton captures the stark beauty of the turbines, paired with a brilliantly cynical poem about Lancashire's most dividing landmark.
