The silence of a photograph lingers within the frame,
where light and memory learn each other’s name.

A Moment Gone, Yet Not Alone.

A trickle carves the stone with grace,
Soft hands that shape a silent place.
No need for thunder, rage, or roar —
The stillest streams can wear the shore.

"O’er Ashworth Moor tha’ Looks"

Now then, sit thissen, tek a breather,
Tha’s climbed enough to sweat through t’ether.
Cast tha’ peepers ‘cross yon land,
Where bog an’ breeze go hand in hand.

Tha’ clouds drift soft, like cloots o’ cream,
While moorland hums a golden dream.
Water’s still as Sunday prayer,
Holdin’ shadows like it cares.

Stone-stacked and weathered, built to last.
My frameless window, once a watchful eye,
Now frames the hills where echoes lie.

Carpe diem, Three Years’ Whispers: Scout Moor High Level Reservoir Through Shifting Veils

Over the past three years, I’ve returned time and again to Scout Moor High Level Reservoir, drawn by its quiet presence and ever-changing face. Through shifting light, seasonal transformations, and countless solitary walks, I’ve come to know this place in a way that only time allows. This collection of images is more than a visual record — it’s a conversation with the landscape, a study in patience, and a personal reflection on the beauty found in stillness and repetition. Three Years’ Whispers is my tribute to the subtle magic of place, light, and time.

On the edge of Cragg quarry I stood

Perched on the edge of Cragg Quarry, I found myself immersed in a world transformed by snow and silence. In that fleeting stillness, where light danced and time seemed to pause, I felt the quiet power of nature's beauty—both fierce and gentle—etching itself into memory with a single whispered word: wow.
