Indigo Twilight

This picture was taken in East Sussex, England in late fall. Purple storms sometimes signify heavy storms the next day, or a specific reflection in the electromagnetic spectrum. East Sussex is part of the historic county of Sussex, famous for the Cinq Ports, the Battle of 1066, and the Kingdom of the South Saxons.

Côte d'Azur Palms


This vivid image was taken in Cannes, Southern France in the summer of 2011. The coastline in that part of France is named the Côte d'Azur for its incredible sapphire blue waters, found everywhere in the french Rivera. The island pictured across the water is the ile Sainte Marguerite.

Garden Palace


This breathtaking picture was taken at The Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew, London. The white greenhouse in the distance is Temperate House, Kew's largest greenhouse, which was designed by  Richard Burton and opened in 1899. This picture was taken from the Xstrata Treetop Walkway, which rises 59ft from the ground, in the spring of 2012. 

Sparkling Meanders


This scenic image was taken near Bodiam Castle in South East England in the summer of 2012. This small tributary runs into the River Rother, which had sustained the castle since its foundations were laid down in 1385. The castle still stands today as a tourist attraction and is surrounded by a medieval moat and ancient farmland.
