Recently I have been getting out and up onto our moors with my camera again. I love the feeling of the moors and being amongst the ancient stones and burials. #thephotohour #mono #blackandwhitephotography #northyorkmoors

An image I took at the weekend of the captain and the keeper of a youth football team, waiting to walk out into the cup final. Two different ways of dealing with the pressure of the final. He lifted the cup after 90mins. #thephotohour #mono #photography #sportsphotography #monopeople #football

A black and white image, with a slight adding of digital grain, of the captain of a football team in the UK waiting to walk out with the team. Behind him is the team's goal keeper, of whom you can see only one eye. Both players are staring at the photographer

A personal favourite from a trip last summer. where the loch meets the sea. The shapes and soft light on the surface of the loch really caught my eye.

Silhouette of the Redcar blastfurnace. Almost cleared away now, just the hearth remains. The furnace is reflected in a roadside puddle

A bankside of a harvested tree plantation. Bleached stumps stand amongst the contrasting vegetation. #thephotohour #photography #monophotography #blackandwhitephotography #mono

A slope in the countryside where a tree plantation has been cut down, leaving just the stumps that have been bleached in the sun. The stumps are in stark contrast with the darker vegetation, the sky is a uniform grey with no definition.

The sun's glow just before sunrise on the summer solstice. The moon is still in the sky above the ancients burial grounds on Great Ayton Moor. #photography #thephotohour #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography #monophotography

The glow in the sky as the sun is rising on the summer solstice. The moon is still present above the ancient burial mounds on the far Moor. A view from Roseberry Topping with no one around, no bird song just a dog barking in the farm below.

South Gare, Teesside .The old slag processing a of the old Ironworks of Warrenby. The slag chemical content has enabled lime loving plants and their associated insects to thrive in this land that is now a SSSI. #thephotohour #photography #colourphotography #industrialarcheology #teesside #southgare

A no fly tipping sign on land that is now an SSSI but used to be a slag processing area of the old Ironworks. The chemical content of the slag has brought lime loving plants and all the insects that live on them.

Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun. - Alan Wilson Watts

PHOTO by Mathias Reding - A solitary figure stands on a vast, dark shoreline under a pale, overcast sky. The ocean stretches out in soft ripples, merging almost seamlessly with the misty horizon. The emptiness above and around the person evokes quiet introspection and a sense of boundless space.
