Landscapes, sunset

I stumbled across this photo from a holiday to Borneo back in 2013. With my newfound editing know-how, I used Lightroom to boost it a little and give it some more ‘oomph’.

The original straight-out-of-the-camera image is below:

I know which one I prefer, but how about you?

Timeless peace

Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland, UK taken in January 2019

I took this picture as a memory of where and when we scattered my best friend Anya’s ashes.  She had always wanted to return to the north of England to live, and Bamburgh Castle on the Northumberland coast was one of her favourite spots.  So it was with great joy that we found this peaceful spot on the beach at low tide and with a glorious sunset to scatter her ashes in the sea. I hope you like your forever home my darling.

Highlights from my post-Christmas trip to the southern tip of Cornwall.  Thank you to Anya & her family for inviting me to join you for a few days!

I’d also like to say a special thank you to my brother Steven, who bought me a year’s subscription to Adobe Photography suite for Christmas.  I’ve enjoyed editing these photos using Adobe Lightroom rather than the freebie editing software I’ve been using to date.  A whole new world has opened up to me!
