England's two highest mountains, Scafell Pike and Scafell, take on a rather Mordor-esque appearance during some atmospheric conditions in the Lake District, with the distinct mountain pass of Mickledore separating them.

A rather splendid sunset yesterday evening in the City of Carlisle, with the final rays of light breaking through on the horizon. On the right, beyond the wall, lies the Cathedral Precinct, where The Fratry can be seen along with the Cathedral itself.

It's been exactly a year since my last trip to Iceland, and I've just realised that I haven't yet shared all the photos from that adventure. This particular picture was taken during an incredible night spent watching the Aurora Borealis at the glacial lagoon of Jökulsárlón.

A view captured recently from the top of Lightning Hill in the Scottish Borders, with the dappled light creating a very moody scene. I waited for the perfect moment when Wisp Hill across the valley became shrouded in shadow, providing a dramatic backdrop to the sunlit pastures.

Captured during a beautiful autumnal morning spent in the Lake District earlier today, here the reservoir of Haweswater is visible from the modest elevation of Four Stones Hill, or as I've fondly referred to it since my childhood - Fower Coddies 'ill. True Cumbrian dialect.

Following a day filled with storms and heavy showers, a beam of light broke through a gap in the horizon during the final moments of daylight in Carlisle yesterday, perfectly coinciding with a passing shower to form this stunning sight over Carlisle Cathedral Precinct.

An absolutely atmospheric autumnal vista captured today in the Scottish Borders, looking towards the valley of Linhope Burn, with a wonderful array of uplands forming the backdrop including Carlin Tooth and Tudhope Hill.

An atmospheric scene captured recently in the Southern Uplands of Scotland. I just love this view overlooking the remote farmstead and pastures of Carewoodrig, seen from the top of Tudhope Hill, and here the mist and dappled light complimented the remote landscape perfectly.

The shifting seasons are epitomised in this view of the Southern Uplands in Scotland as a torrential shower sweeps across the verdant valley of Nithsdale, while the striking Scaur Hills loom beyond the pastures, with Cairnkinna Hill standing as the most prominent.

Following on from my last picture, here's another captured during yesterday's spectacular sunrise at Castlerigg in the Lake District. Stone circles are always sacred places, but even more so when witnessing natural sights like this standing amongst them.

Just shy of a week since my last shot at Carlisle Castle, I was able to capture yet another beautiful sunrise from that very location this morning. I absolutely love the warm glow that illuminates the stonework at this time of year.

The Eildon Hills stand out on a stormy day in the Scottish Borders, captured from Traquair Forest. The passing storms helped to isolate the pointed peaks even further, but unfortunately they were heading my way and I got absolutely soaked not long after this shot was captured.

Ullock Pike - in my opinion one of the finest looking fells in the Lake District - captured today during a moody and misty morning.

The grand outline of Pen-y-ghent, one of Yorkshire's famous Three Peaks, revealing itself momentarily through the mist, while a patch of pastures in Ribblesdale beneath are bathed in fleeting sunshine. #Penyghent #Ribblesdale #YorkshireDales #NorthYorkshire

The iconic engine 60163 Tornado seen chugging through Ribblesdale during a stormy morning today. Luckily, the showers held off here as the tour arrived, allowing me to capture it against the majestic mountain backdrop of Pen-y-ghent, one of Yorkshire's famous Three Peaks.
