St Kilda Beach
With clear blue skies, and warm temperatures, decided to head out to a well known beach of St Kilda. The Western beach was packed with kite surfers in the strong sea breeze.

London Zoo
The London zoo, is the oldest scientific zoo in the world, which opened in 1828. It’s currently undergoing a transformation to redevelop the animal environments to match their natural habitat. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to see the butterfly and aquarium exhibitions.

Sunset over Stonehenge
A clear sunset over Stonehenge was a perfect way to end a trip away through Somerset and Wiltshire. Allowing plenty of time to travel, traffic was much heavier than expected, and almost missed the sunset altogether.

Roman Bath
Next door to the Bath Abbey, is the Roman Bath museum – with remnants of the ancient baths that once stood there.
Bath Abbey
The Abbey Church of Saint Peter, Bath is an Anglican parish church, with stunning attention to detail.

Avon River, Bath
Took a local boat trip around the Avon River, to catch a glimpse of some historical buildings and bridges along the water.

Midnight at Stonehenge
After a leisurely walk around Bath, decided to venture back to Stonehenge – a 45min drive, but well worth it.
The air was very still, but the typical light pollution in England made shooting rather difficult. After a couple of test shots to guage the exposure, decided around a 20minute exposure was needed. The resulting shot, was 1288 seconds – just over 21 minutes, with the glow over London clearly visible despite being 85 miles away.

Night Walk around Bath
After a fun filled afternoon around Longleat, headed back to the accommodation in Bath, before taking a walk around the township – Lovely Victorian architecture flows onto the streets. The feature point of the town, being the many large historical churches and the Avon River snaking its way through town.

Dances With Wolves
With some great lighting through the trees at Longleat, the Canadian Timber Wolves shone brilliantly.
Longleat Lions
Managed to get very close to a couple of lions, amongst the drive through safari at Longleat. Parked beside the first lion seen, just a couple of metres away, and managed to fire off several frames of a yawn – making them into a video:
