My
wife and I, live in the South West of England in the county of Devon.

the Last 30 years we have lived and worked here.

THE
COUNTY of DEVON
Is
an area of outstanding natural beauty.
These
days I enjoy taking Josh for walks in the woods and
relaxing
into my early retirement. I'm very lucky.
The
region affords me a good
opportunity to do some
photography
taking advantage of the beauty around us.

The photo was taken in woods owned and maintained
by the Whitley Wildlife Trust, which is centred
at Paignton Zoo.
The local coast around
here is just
as stunning.
Take a look at these next few photos taken with
my digital camera locally.

Yes it's red clay soil -
It really is as red as that!
Even the beach sand is red.

MOST PHOTOS on this site were taken using a SONY P1
digital camera (3million Pixels)
It is a shirt-pocket sized camera with optical and digital zoom.
The resolution was set to 1280 x 960 (17" x 13")
Photos were re-sized for the link thumbnails used on this web page
my youth. I photographed some ten views of the town from various
angles
which
I had old photographs to make comparisons with. The results are
on
another page

Photography Old and New
I play a Jazz and Classical Piano for leisure and I recently had an

Web Pages early in 2002. A copy of the article which explores the work

In 2003 I completed a project to rebuild
a "Douglas" Motorcycle circa 1950,
that my brother and I had jointly
owned since 1963 but which had languished
in pieces, in a damp garden shed for
33 years. To see photos of the
project please click on this link
