Taken at the end of a long day exploring the Lake District. Surprise View allows you to get high above Derwent Water without straying too far from the car, making it perfect for sunset.

Setting off just before dawn, we hiked the short 1km trail up to the top of Raven Crag, which overlooks the length of Thirlmere. It was one of those bitingly cold winter mornings, but the moment the sun came up over the Helvellyn range, all discomforts are forgotten as you realise the beauty of the world.

As I reached the top of Helvellyn from the Striding Edge approach, I took a photo of my friends posing by the summit. As I smiled and checked the photo, I noticed another group. Their arms locked together, they smiled at small jokes they made as they all stared at the lakes below us. I took this photo and then approached them to ask if they would like a copy. They were three sisters with their mother. The mother is the lady in green who's glasses you can just make out. The way they face the view as she clings fondly to her daughters; this image will always remind me of family.

We spent a weekend in the Lake District and on the way stopped off to explore the shores of Wast Water. Weather was perfect, if not a bit chilly and I was jealous of the folks swimming and kayaking in the water. We got another lucky look at the lake as the road to Gosforth was blocked by a crash between a Vectra and a Tesco van.

A last minute trip to the English Lake District In spring and we got lucky with the weather. As we climbed Scafell Pike it was grey and misty until we made it above the clouds, where we were greeted with blue skies.

It was the end of a long day in the Lake District. We just managed to get some bouldering in on Langdale Boulders as the sun began to set, casting beautiful shadows down the valley.

The afternoon light disappeared as quickly as it arrived leaving us with grey clouds and rain in the distance. But we were out of the car, so we grabbed our gear and followed the sound of the water. Just over the dry stone wall we found our next shot down the Pass of the small brook tumbling over rocks and boulders.

We took a wrong turn on the way to some caves you’ll see in other photos, but instead of turning back we found an empty field for an impromptu game of baseball. Second time this year that I’ve played baseball in a British National Park and there is nothing better than spontaneous games in the most beautiful settings. Not sure this will be an image that others can use particularly but it was one I wanted to share regardless, hope you like it.

This stunning Waterfall in the north of England gave me nightmares. I honestly couldn’t fall asleep that night as the image of watching down from where it all starts, was so frightening. It was the most violent waterfall I’ve witnessed.

The Scottish wildcat (Felis silvestris grampia), or Highlands tiger, is a dark coloured subspecies of the European wildcat native to Scotland. Its range previously also included England and Wales, but it became extinct in these areas, as well as in southern Scotland, within the last 150 years. Extant numbers are estimated at between 100 and 300.

I was on a trip in Edinburgh and in the Princess Streets Park i found this little mate, played with him for a solid 15 minutes and was able to shot stunning pictures of him feeding and running.

Took this photo during my trip to Edinburgh with my girlfriend. Just lov these old tall buildings and also lots of greenery everywhere. The weather was constantly changing so I was pretty lucky to take this photo before it started to rain.

This picture was taken in Edinburgh city. I really like the back lit effect and the whole image has a warm feeling. The editing fives it a very moody look.

Had a great time in Edinburgh in Scotland this Christmas. Sadly I didnt get out enough to take pictures. But really like this one of people taking selfies by the Castle.

Rainbow over the Yorkshire Dales, I was treated to the rainbow over this barn in the distant. I thought whoever's' barn it was would have a bit of luck that day.

A scenic long-exposure taken at the waterfall by Campsie Fells, Scotland (UK). If there’s one thing I admire about water the most, it’s that no matter what’s in its way, no matter how big or small the obstacle, no matter how hard it gets, it always pushes through and refuses to be stopped. It has a final destination - a goal - and it’s focused. It knows where it’s going, and it flows. And even though it may have taken a few detours or unusual paths along the way, it comes back and joins as one - it becomes whole again. Be like water, my friend (Bruce Lee).

After a 7 mile walk around the beautiful Gisburn Forrest in the Forrest of Bowland we were against the clock. The winer sun was setting fast and so we knew we had to take a shortcut through, what looked like, a disused track back to our car We stumbled across an old pine forrest that had been hit by a massive storm only a couple of years ago. Everything was perfect, the sun just landing on the horizon, the temperature dropping to 0c and even Wally our dog not running through shot. Amazing what you find off the beaten path

This has to be my favourite image from my latest day shooting and this was a super last minute shot. I had my bag on my back, heading up the beach to catch my train home, camera still in hand. I happened to see these two lads just sat in total silence, glaring at the sunset, just like they were hooked in the moment. So down I got (to their level) and took the shot. Best last minute shot ever. Luke. x

I took this on a boat trip to the Farne Islands in 2008. There was a good swell, and I love the shot of the wave in the foreground with Bamburgh Castle just visible in the background
