A fall of snow and thickening fog transform even the most ordinary of landscapes.

Formally, the stretch of sea from just beyond the shoreline to the horizon is termed ‘the offing’ - a nautical term that suggests imminent arrival. It is a place you can never go. It is the edge of the world in that moment.

Images of ‘The Offing’ have recently become popular with photographers. The light from the sky shines down and the sea answers back. A simple but delightful interaction that seems to catch the essence of why almost all of us enjoy being by the sea.

Sometimes the most unlikely subjects make for intriguing images.

I made this photograph near a tidal sluice in the waters of the Gulf of Morbihan in southern Brittany. Although it looks like pollution, this sea foam is the naturally occurring result of the agitation of seawater that contains high concentrations of dissolved organic matter, notably algae.

One of the attractions of pounding city streets with a camera are moments that lead to fresh understanding and pause for thought.

This hot London summer has offered plentiful opportunities for interesting street photography. Sometimes it has also opened the door to brief encounters which have left me thinking differently about life - as here with a Brick Lane street artist.

Serendipity and a temperature inversion created a wonderful moment for making intriguing images of the Forth bridges.

Why do we enjoy images of reflections? This image is one of a series in which I try to use reflections to offer thoughts that evoke happiness, memories of times past and an altered reality that hopefully intrigues and fascinates.
