Roman bridge into mist

Roman bridge into mist

Welcome to the Autumn seasons textured images! Here's another from my misty morning set, our local ancient Roman bridge into our little old Beziers! Of our several crossings Its my favorite bridge, its both narrow and winding and takes just one lane of light traffic....

Voyage through canal mist

Voyage through canal mist

A big thanks to Ellen for her kind texture feature on dpreview and a warm welcome to their visiting fans! Once again its the time of year for my favorite misty, foggy mornings in the Mediterranean! As soon as I open my shutters and spy mist outside, I need to work...

Chasing the wind

Chasing the wind

Its always nice to wake up and find another one of your babies gracing a published book cover! Here's today's, an American thriller, heavily textured with our flypaper painterly textures. Its just a preview copy as its not yet out, so I expect their colours will...

French farmhouse

Water Meadows

Its a given isn't it, that if you take a trip without your camera, you'll see something so superbly photogenic that you'll bite yourself! Thus for me, (who's sick of biting himself!) I'll now do no laborious airport run without my camera. And here's an image to prove...
