This is a lovely, thoughtful gift from Dave. Anyone out there who would benefit?

I think I must have been about 17 or 18, and I spent most of the weekends around that time at the ‘Sir Colin Campbell’ pub, in Coventry.

I've written a new article on Substack about my experiences in the sanctuary I find the most rest and peace for my mental health - the woodland! open.substack.com/pub/quieters...

Woodland, for me, is an altogether different world when the fog rolls in. It's deeps and mysterious and enchanting. I see the same place through different eyes. Like looking at a landscape for the first time. #Photography #BlackAndWhite #Monochrome #LandscapePhotography #Woodland #Fog

This is a black and white image of a foggy woodland scene. In the background you can see a bright light, masking out the distant trees. In the foreground you can see a number of long, thin trees in different shapes and angles.

@birchtree.me @chrislawley.me - Hey guys, catching up on the latest episode, and you've returned to the topic of podcast apps. Given that you were discussing Overcast and Castro, does this mean that Pocketcasts has dropped off the radar for you? Are the two discussed a better option in '25?

I still remember taking this photo, notably for the weather that we were facing when we arrived. It was New Year’s Day 2022 and, by the time we arrived, was absolutely throwing it down. But once you're wet you're wet. #Photography #LandscapePhotography #BlackAndWhite #Monochrome #CoastalPhotography

I know I've shot and posted this scene 100s of times in the past, but I just can't get over it. You could be forgiven for thinking that all I do is wait for foggy weather, then head up onto the hill. But I just love this view so much. #Photography #BlackAndWhite #Monochrome #LandscapePhotography

This is a black and white image of the famous 'Gold Hill' in Shaftesbury, Dorset. It is a steep, cobbled hill, lined with cottages on the left, and a strong defensive wall on the right. Alongside the wall there is a small, black railing. Fog hangs heavy throughout the scene, masking out any details in the distance. It is atmospheric and holds a 'classic' view about it.

I've written a new article on Substack about a recent trip to London, and finding an oasis of quiet amongst the bustle. quieterspaces.substack.com/p/finding-th...

Over the course of my 20+ years shooting, I would say that there are, maybe, 10 that I think are really good images - and I don’t use that term lightly. I think this is one of them. #BlackAndWhite #Monochrome #Documentary #StreetPhotography #Reportage #Photography

This is a black and white taken in a street. The scene in ambiguous. There are 3 main characters, all dressed fully in white gowns and hoods. There are eye holes cut out of the hoods, so that the people can see. To their ankles are tied lengths of heavy chains. One person is looking directly ahead. One person is looking to the camera, and one person is looking up and to the right.

The scene is unnerving, and poses questions to the casual viewer.

As well as my own persona Substack account, I've also created a publication account, where I'm going to writing posts dedicated more to finding a little bit of peace and quiet in the crazy online world we're in these days. Come say hello! quieterspaces.substack.com #substack #photography #mindful

Another image from the 3 days of glorious fog we had at the beginning of the year. Hoping for a little more before the spring kicks in. #Photography #BlackAndWhite #Monochrome #LandscapePhotography #Trees #Fog

This is a black and white image of a foggy woodland scene. There are trees all around, with fog hanging in the background of the scene. In the foreground, there are some areas of interest. On the right of the scene, there are two thin trees, which have fallen over and form a cross. In the background, there are two thin trees, reaching up towards the light.

My county is the best county. Fact!

I can still remember this day. It was cold, silent and utterly beautiful. This is not a location I had set out for. I was visiting a woodland on the other side of the road and yet, I found this new discovery. #BlackAndWhite #Photography #Monochrome #LandscapePhotography #Woodland #Fog

This is a black and white image of a foggy woodland scene. To the left and right, you can see trees, covered by the fog. In the centre is a small grassy track, leading to a stile.

Goodness, Grant nailed such a lovely image. That waterfall is banging but, for me, it's the light in the trees. I love it.

Dark and brooding woodlands are, strangely, my happy place. I love them. The creaking of the trunks, the wind whispering it's secrets amongst the leaves. Haunting, and lovely. #Photography #BlackAndWhite #Monochrome #LandscapePhotography #Trees #Woodland

This is a black and white image of a woodland scene in the fog. In the distance, on the right, you can see a small copse of trees next to a dark, winding path. On the left, there are smaller, thinner confusions of branches and leaves, but light is breaking through.

In the foreground, there is a single tree trunk, gnarled and textured.

Morning Matt - thanks very much. And yeah, without the puddle and the muddy tracks, this image wouldn't really work. I appreciate you noticed it.

Evening all, how are we doing? Almost the end of the weekend. How's it been?

Such a peaceful image from Chris. Gentle, soft, beautiful.
