A DOOR OF STYLE |
A photographic view in monochrome.... I use various techniques to enhance and give atmosphere to the images....... I enjoy breaking the so called photographic rules. I have a special interest in the genre of mystical landscapes,gothic buildings and graveyards, crumbling castles,haunted houses,ruins, grotesques and gargoyles.

GARGOYLE AT WINCHCOMBE |
These photographs were taken whilst walking the 'Cotswold Way' which stretches for 102 miles from the city of Bath at the southern end to Chipping Campden at the northern end. The route hugs the Cotswold Scarp and is well worth the effort.

RUST ON THE PIER.
MOORING RING - BERWICK-UPON-TWEED |
I love the way that the wear from the mooring ropes can be seen on the ring, this and the rust just spells the passing of time to me.
Berwick-upon-Tweed is situated on the Northumbrian coast and is certainly worth a visit.

ALUM CHINE - DORSET.
Alum Chine near Westbourne at Bournemouth in Dorset derives it's name from an unsuccessful attempt to mine and manufacture Alum during the late 16th century. The deposits proved uneconomic and by the mid 17th century all mining had ceased.
In 1892 a young Winston Churchill fell from a bridge in the Chine nearly losing his life and it is often thought that the Suspension bridge was the bridge in question. In actual fact the bridge from which he fell was a Rustic bridge located further up the Chine. That bridge was replaced in 1922 with a Spandrel/Arched bridge.
The Suspension bridge was built by David Rowell & Company in 1903 at a cost of £480
