Well, what an awesome sight it was to see the full #HarvestMoon rising above the distant landscape from Lytham in Lancashire. This is the first of two full moons in October, and itโs called the Harvest moon because itโs the closest one to the #AutumnEquinox

Morning All! Well, what can I say but an absolutely jaw dropping #sunset last night on St Annes Beach in Lancashire. I didn't even go to catch this as I was there hoping for #Thunderstorms so I guess I should always expect the unexpected ๐๐๐

I was in Scotland, near Fort William and noticed this old wreck with Ben Nevis in the background, so I thought I'd take a quick pic while the light was nice. Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in all of Great Britain.

I managed to capture an astronomical phenomena from the English Lake District that is extremely rare to see because it needs the right timing, perfect conditions and an ultra dark sky. Zodiacal Light seen here over Coniston, early spring #StormHour #astrophotography #Cumbria

Well we are approaching the summer #solstice in the UK, and where I live in Lancashire it does not get very dark at night in June. Itโs a bit different on the south coast, where the twilight is not quite enough to drown out the #MilkyWay like here at #durdledoor #Dorset

Iโve had this rather strange urge to see if I can get 5k followers in my 10th anniversary on Twitter. If you like these kind of images RT the hell out of this & see if I can do it. There will be a prize for one old, and one new follower if I hit my target by end of August.
