This image is of the Egytptian-built lighthouse that guards the entrance to the old Venetian-built harbour in Rethymno in Crete. Although it is no longer in use, it dominates the harbour as it stands so proud as it overlooks the small boats. The harbour, in modern times, has been extended significantly so the purpose of the lighthouse, as a lighthouse, no longer holds, but it retains its impressiveness.

We hired a long-tailed boat and captain for a day and visited some of the islands in the Andaman Sea near Ao Nang in Thailand. Our captain took us to Railay Beach, a very popular tourist spot, where towering karst formation cliffs dominate the warm waters and white sand beach. This image captures, for me, the essence of that day, the long-tailed boat we hired, and one of the magnificent karst towers that dot the seascape. The sky was dark blue, the sea rich in shades of aquamarine and a hint of the white sand below. I loved the way the boat bobbed on the surface of the shallow calm water, where the clarity was such that the boat was seemingly floating above the surface. Very cool and delightfully warm.

Groves cut onto LIMESTONE or harder rock were used to grind corn to make flour to bake into bread. The same necessary milling is used inn many rural communities throughout the world today. The men who cut and "dressed" new stones or reworked the millstones were highly skilled. Stone is brittle and we can find many partially completed stone that never made it into active milling; damaged or broken during the cutting or transportation stages.

Arbor Low is a Neolithic henge monument situated High in the Derbyshire Peak District on Middleton Moor. It is often referred to as the Stonehenge of the North.

This image is of just one of the hundreds of bas relief carvings that cover the walls of the lower gallery at Angkor Wat. All-in-all, the carvings run for about 600 yards around the four sides of the temple. These carvings celebrate religious and historical epics. The undertaking to complete just these cravings, which represent just a small proportion of the overall temple, must have taken years. The carvings, which are sheltered from the elements are in remarkably good shape considering they were carved about 900 years ago. To understand the scale of the temple complex, it covers an area of about 200 hectares (490 acres). What I love about the image is the depiction of these wonderful carvings with their remarkably fine detail still...

"Outlook" in silver and copper. A photo manipulation created from an image I took at Gleninagh Castle on the shores of Galway Bay in the Burren, Ireland of a window opening in a wall looking out onto a stonewall with a tree behind it. The texture I used for blending is perfect for this limestone region and created the silver and copper effect from the black and white photograph.

Filfla island in tranquil Mediterranean sea. It is a small, barren, uninhabited islet in south of Malta.

The Plan.

Eze is a gorgeous medieval village on the south coast of France, between Nice and Monte Carlo. It has no roads, just red-tiled footpaths marking the way throughout this wonderful hillside settlement.

We were on a cruise, leaving from Split, down the Dalmatian coast. Our first port of call was the medieval town/village of Hvar, on the island of Hvar. Hvar is just a delight; We'd really like to go back. We were there in the spring before the masses arrived, so we were able to wander the narrow streets unhindered. The town is beyond picturesque and the crisp morning Adriatic light made it all the more so. This image is captured along one of the quiet lanes above the main harbour. I love the image for its unhurried feeling, its sense of history. I hope you do too!

I was on a cruise, leaving from Split, down the Dalmatian coast. Our first port of call was the medieval town of Hvar on the island of Hvar. Cruising doesn't give you much time at each port, so I quickly set out to find the real Hvar, away from the tourist traps. The town is beyond picturesque and the crisp morning Adriatic light made it all the more so. This image is captured along one of the quiet lanes above the main harbour. I was really drawn to the old man walking under the archway, through what I recall was the old town wall. I love the image for its unhurried feeling, its sense of history. I hope you do too!

This image is of the Baphuon Temple, which is in Angkor Thom, near Siem Reap, Cambodia. The temple was originally built in the mid-11th century to honour the Hindu god Shiva, but later was converted into a Buddhist temple. By the time of the 20th century, the temple had largely collapsed. What remained was dismantled, About 300,000 pieces were labelled and numbered. However, the records were lost during the time of the Khmer Rouge, so when the project restarted, it then took 16 years to unravel the 3D jigsaw puzzle and rebuild the temple. Today, it is a marvel to behold, being about 100 metres square and about 30 metres tall.
