War Graves: Part II

Click here for print sales

The second part of my series shot for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and Chrome Radio, these pictures were taken in London’s Victorian Abney Park Cemetery, in Stoke Newington.

The images were taken as part of an initiative by the CWGC to highlight the presence of war graves in civilian cemeteries throughout the UK.

War Graves: Part I

Click here for print sales

I was honoured to be commissioned by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and Chrome Radio earlier this year to don my landscapes hat and shoot a series of photos of two very different London cemeteries: St Pancras and Abney Park.

The shots were taken as part of an initiative by the CWGC to highlight the presence of war graves in civilian cemeteries throughout the UK.

Today’s images are of St Pancras.  Part II, with images from Abney Park, will follow tomorrow.

The Other Side: Life in the Heel

Click here for print sales

It’s been a while since I posted any of my landscape work, but I shot these pictures a while back while visiting a friend who lives at the very tip of the heel of Italy.

It’s an interesting place to visit.  The further south you travel, the drier the landscape gets, and the number of people dwindles down to no one at all.

The Other Side — Alpine Dreams: What We Left Behind

Click here for print sales

Some more images from my Alpine Dreams series of landscapes and scenes from the western Alps, this time focusing on all the bits and pieces mankind has left behind around the mountains.

Among the highlights, the convent high up in the mountains at Notre-Dame de la Salette, the mediaeval citadel of Sisteron in Provence, the mountain-rimmed waters of the Lac d’Annecy and the city of Grenoble, which famously nestles at the junction of three deep valleys.

If you’d like to buy framed or loose photographic prints from this or any of my other Other Side collections, you can do so over here (link opens in separate window).

The Other Side — Alpine Dreams: The Wild Parts 1 & 2

BLOG PRINT STORE LINK

Returning to the natural world, some new shots and prints released from my Alpine Dreams series, taking in everything from the forests of the pre-Alps to the super-high, super-cold glacier factories of the Ecrins.

Among my favourites, a dead tree struck by lightning stuck halfway between the sky and the ground in the Chartreuse, a stream choked by snow where the car park for a mountain refuge ought to be, a marmot so camouflaged in the boulders he’s almost impossible to find and the weird, weird things that happen to snow when there’s been an avalanche.

If you’d like to browse prints from this selection, they’re available on my site here.

Alpine Dreams: Hydroélectrique

BLOG PRINT STORE LINK

So I have a bit of a thing about dams.

Perhaps, what with there being a French TV series all about zombies hanging around a dam and everything, more people now have a thing about dams than used to.  But I accept that dams are not everyone’s cup of tea.

Nonetheless, there really is something rather compelling and, in its own way, beautiful about building giant walls of concrete halfway up mountains and stopping whole rivers in their tracks.

All these images and more are available to order from my print store.  And, having completely overhauled the kinds of prints I offer, I’m pleased to announce a 10% discount on all prints up to 15 March.  Just use the code “storm”.

PS For true dam geeks only, the seventh shot from the end in this series features an uncommon sight — the Lac d’Emosson’s Barrage de Barberine — now rarely seen in its fully glory because it’s normally underwater.

It’s back to Iceland for a second set of prints from one of the world’s more extraordinary landscapes (click the link above if you’d like to browse the store).

Going through these has got me itching for another visit…

Ice and Steam

The first of two sets of shots from a circumnavigation of Iceland (this sounds glamorous but anyone who’s been will know there’s actually no other way to do it since there’s only one road).

There’s not much that can be said for a country this wild that can’t better be expressed in pictures.  But it’s no surprise that it’s become Hollywood’s go-to place for alien worlds.

If you’d like to browse prints from the collection, you can do so here.  Twitter users might also like to know that I’ve now set up an account specifically for my art and travel work at @ScottsOtherSide.

Where the wind blows…

There are few places in the world quite like Dungeness.

The only official desert in Britain, it’s dependably gloomy, creepy, desolate and, what with being sandwiched between a nuclear power station and a military firing range, in all ways just not quite right.

Which means, of course, that photo nuts flock to it.

If a print from this collection takes your fancy, you can order them here.
