I have always had an interest in textures and surfaces. Beautiful details are found in everyday surfaces. Living by the sea, I find the wide variety of textures and surfaces along the coast a must for photography.
I love photographing textures, shapes and surfaces, be it rusty metal or fabric. The images below are ideas for paintings and prints I will look at creating over Autumn / Winter.
I love going out at lunchtime with my camera, wandering along Cowes Parade towards Egypt Point, soaking up the sun, sail and atmosphere.
Whenever I walk up Tennyson Down, camera to hand, I enjoy seeing the dramatic panoramic views of The Solent’s western approach, meeting the English Channel, as well as the sweeping coastal landscapes.
(TD023) - As I was strolling down from the monument, I saw these old pieces of farm equipment in the distance. I really like the warm visuals of the rusty red metal against the yellow brush and green canopy backdrop.

Picnic on the Pier - 150 Years of Yarmouth Pier
Yarmouth came to life during 'Picnic on the Pier', the celebration with vibrant colour, music and enjoyment. The pier was laid out with picnic tables down one side, and an Abba tribute act playing at the end of the pier.

(TD014) – I love the simplicity of this image. The lonely bench gets my photographic mind thinking of all the amazing stories and sights likely experienced by all those who have sat here.

The Downs rise to over 146 meters (482 feet) above sea level, so you can imagine the breathtaking rolling countryside, striking, bright-white chalk ridges and spectacular seascape view.

The Compass Jellyfish is native to UK waters.
As we were walking along the coast in Cowes, my friend pointed out a jellyfish; she said it was a Compass jellyfish (Chrysaora hysoscella). The jellyfish was calmly moving in the water. This type of Jellyfish is native to UK water.

As I got off the bus, I followed the National Trust signs from the Bembridge Windmill; I strolled up Mill Road.
The Windmill keeps its identity a secret.

Perched dramatically atop Bembridge Down on the eastern edge of the Isle of Wight, Bembridge Fort stands as a monument to 19th-century military ingenuity and national defense. Overlooking the sea with sweeping views of Sandown Bay, the fort is an enduring symbol of Britain’s Victorian-era response to foreign threats—built not in direct reaction to war, but from the anxiety of one. Today, its silent walls echo the voices of soldiers, engineers, and now, conservationists, as its legacy shifts from martial utility to heritage preservation.

I have a soft spot for Bembridge Windmill. Not in a “let’s read the information board and move on” way, but in a stand there longer than necessary, watching nothing happen, somehow feeling like that’s the point kind of way.
A beautiful walk along the beach in Bembridge, Isle of Wight. The striking images of the natural rocks and rock pools and abstract shapes left in the sand by the sea against the enormous structure of the RNLI station on stilts leading out to sea.
