2025 Heather Season

Every year I love to photograph the blooming heather in the Lake District, which normally occurs in August. This year due to the dry weather we have been experiencing the heather has been a little patchy which has made the search challenging. However, I have still managed a few decent images at Grange Fell, Lingmoor Fell and Holme Fell.

But there's a catch, to get that golden light streaming into the Bothy at just the right angle, there's only a narrow window of opportunity: June, when the sun sets in just the right position. So once a year, I return, hoping the weather plays ball and the elements align. In June 2024, I finally got a shot I was incredibly ha...

  The Allure of Blea Tarn for Landscape Photography   Blea Tarn is situated in a small hanging valley between Great Langdale and Little Langdale in the heart of the Lake District.

Blea Tarn is a popular haunt of many Lake District landscape photographer’s including, over recent years, myself. Since I started photography in 2020, I have visited Blea Tarn many times, and it is has become one of my favourite locations in the Lake District for Landscape Photography. Blea Tarn is a place where I go to for tranquillity and peace, and as such I now only go there very early for sunrise or very late for the incredible dark skies. I have a very strong sense of belonging to Blea Tarn which I think is connected to the iconic view of the rugged Langdale Pikes in the background, which brings back many memories of hiking the Pikes when I was a youngster with my late father, and later, fabulous day...
