Taken on the way back to port from a trip of Dolphin Spotting in Southern Spain, I was intrigued by the rare shape of this tower, which looks to me like a guard tower for the port of Duquesa. This photo reminds me of the tranquility felt on holiday, and feels like a reality different from the ‘normal’ everyday life.

This Cape Island style fishing boat sits at her mooring as a December storm blows through. Fishers in Nova Scotia work all winter long in the bitter cold and you can really feel the cold in this image. A winter storm had recently passed and in it’s wake the temperature was around -5C and winds were blowing at 30-40 knots. Luckily I was able to take this shot from the comfort of my truck.

Me and my girlfriend have dreams of travelling around the world but since I’m still working on my budget for that, we decided to explore what is available in our backyard here in New Zealand. I am a big fan of Google Pixel 2’s photography so I thought I’d share with the world this beautiful snapshot of a lighthouse in a small town called Castlepoint in New Zealand.
