Weathered Wall

I came across this weathered wall at an old abandoned house not far from where I live and was taken with the scaly pattern formed by the peeling paint, which vividly shows the ravages of time. Over the years, the owners have let the large property gradually fall into a state of disrepair. It probably won't be long before the house gets torn down, so I plan to return with my camera to continue exploring the unexpected beauty that so often accompanies neglect and decay.

Moment of Clarity

 Some images have stories to tell and lessons to teach. Others simply stop the mind in its tracks like a Zen koan. No words are necessary or perhaps even possible.

Urban Fantasy

 I'm not usually a fan of boxy modern office buildings, but these playful reflections in a glass window caught my eye. Sometimes seeing things from a new perspective can make all the difference.

Stone Walls

During my walks, I often come across stone walls surrounding houses and gardens. Not only are they fun to photograph, but also they speak of the skill and patience that were needed to fit the irregularly shaped stones together like pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle.

Patterns 2024 Wall Calendar

 I always enjoy photographing patterns, both natural and man-made. Not only are patterns often beautiful, but they also provide reassuring glimpses of order in a world that can seem chaotic and unpredictable. I recently put together a 2024 wall calendar of some of my favourite photos of patterns. Please click on the image of concentric circles below to view a preview of the calendar.
