(Zenno)

Yesterday was the first day of 2019, and we decided that there was no better time to start a new project. Being lucky enough to live in God’s own county, we made it a little way north to Cropton, armed with a camera, a dog itching to play in the mud, and an emergency satsuma (each!). The sky was moody, that wonderfully aggressive blue-grey colour that instantly improves any photograph taken beneath it, and we gleefully took the first images in our upcoming North Yorkshire series. Over the next few months, we are planning to take a greedy fistful of additional trips north, to places including, but by no means limited to:

Pickering | Dalby Forest | Malton | Cropton (again) | Hutton-le-Hole | Thornton-le-Dale | Rosedale & the Chimney | Goathland & ... Whitby! 

We are really missing the sea ice this year! 

This shot of Suomenlinna, Finland, taken in February 2017, is one of our favourites because of the helmeted kid on his red bike. He had been whizzing up and down the grassed paths with his fluorescently-pink sister, the pair of them gleefully giggling as they no doubt raced away from imaginary monsters to save the world. Suddenly, the little lad had a grown-up moment, and stopped peddling with all his might. He pulled his bike to an abrupt halt, and stood perfectly still, serenely appreciating the natural beauty!
