1876 engraving - Hugh Willoughby's Ships in Arctic Seas
photo - This tablet is in memory of Sir Hugh Willoughby, Stephen Borough, William Borough, Sir Martin Frobisher and other navigators who in the latter half of the sixteenth century set sail from this reach of the River Thames near Ratcliff Cross to explore the northern seas; This unique Portland stone LCC tablet, featuring inset painted tiles depicting three galleons, was designed by the LCC architect G. Topham-Forrest. It is positioned in front of the round ventilator shaft of the Rotherhithe tunnel which is Grade II listed. The King Edward VII Memorial Park occupies the site of a fish market cleared during the construction of the tunnel.

Train 265 from Helsinki to Kemijärvi at foggy Riihimäki station. One of the semi-officially called "Santa Claus Express" trains between the south of Finland and Lapland. Pretty much sold out due to the winter holiday season.

VR Class Sr3 (Siemens Vectron Nordic) pulling a consist of 14 carriages:

9 sleepers

a restaurant car

a coach car

a coach/baggage car

2 car-carriers

402 metres, using the full length of the most station platforms.

My job was to bring it from the depot in Helsinki to the Central Station and them drive it north to Tampere for a crew change.

Wilderness hut in storm at Varangerhalvøya National Park, Norway. Lucky for us we had reached the hut previous day. Winds weren’t super bad but visibility was zero and the terrain difficult to navigate safely. The hut is operated by the Norwegian Red Cross.

I'm posting 'Hold Your Head High' today, as we adopted a rescue dog Archie yesterday and this image reminds me so much of taking a proud dog on a walk. (I see a dog with its head pointed upwards and a little tail on the right, and its person on the left).

Hopefully he settles in well with Mieke and I and we spend many years together!

An image of snow-covered pine trees in Finnish lapland. The entire environment is covered in a coat of white, with a muted gently textured sky behind. The tree on the left could look like the shape of a person standing, while the figure on the right is wider, looking like a giant dog holding its head up to the air, it's front two feet and back left foot joining the snow, and a tiny tail sticking out.

Frozen Giant was captured on the top of a Finnish fell in Winter last year.

There's not a lot I love more than trudging around in snow capturing beautiful frozen landscapes... and there aren't many places better for snow and ice than Finnish Lapland!

#Finland #Lapland #Landcapephotography #Photography #winter #landscapes #snow #trees

A tree has been encased in so much snow and ice that it appears to take on the form of frozen giant, with a large head, arms, and legs. The scene is pink with the late afternoon light of a Finnish Winter illuminating the scene which also includes some distant frozen trees and deep foreground snow.

This is a composite #photo called 'Wait For Me!'

Walking through this Finnish #Lapland swamp in the middle of winter was a joy. A beautiful landscape dotted with new saplings that looked a lot like old cartoon characters.

So I decided at the time that I would try to combine some of these characters together to tell more of a story and also celebrate their oddness.

This image depicts a mostly frozen conifer tree in Finland and in winter. The background is the clean white of the snow. A small branch is coming off the tree making contact with the ground. There are then two saplings in the ground that appear like they are fleeing the scene, with their limbs made up of clusters of needles from the sapling trees. One of the saplings appears to be raising it's arm and lagging behind the other, hence the title 'Wait For Me!'.
