The hills are blooming with heather and we're in the middle of a mini heatwave. The arrival of Ling, Bell and Cross-Leafed heather signals the start of lots of photographic opportunities. As the heather fades, the bracken turns golden and the bog asphodel sparkles and then the colours of autumn spend a while developing before the annual leaf clearing storm signals the end period of ‘hunt the last holdouts’.
I had a student come to spend a day with me last week as part of their A-level photography project. We parked the car at the Clachaig, near the mouth of Glen Coe, and spent most of the time wandering a hundred square meter area of river and hill (including the view below). I hope I have helped give a flavour of the fun to be had spending time with the landscape..
I shouldn’t forget to mention that we have one of my first inspirations as a guest on Monday, the 25th. Our Any Questions episode with Joe Cornish and I will feature Jan Töve.

If you’ve any questions you’d like to ask Jan, please submit them at submissions@onlandscape.co.uk and we’ll include them in the chat.

Any Questions, with special guest Paul Kenny
The premise of our podcast is loosely based on Radio Four's “Any Questions.” Mark Littlehjohn (or Joe Cornish) and I (Tim Parkin) invite a special guest to each show and solicit questions from our subscribers. In this episode, me and Mark talk to Paul Kenny about his transition from traditional photography to scanner art, the profound influence of music and nature on his creative process, the emotional connections in art, the challenges of navigating the art world and he offers more

Personal Photography
Photography is a technology based medium produced by a technological society with a reason-focused worldview. It contains two temptations: decoration and propaganda. However, I propose an attitude that promotes expression. more
From Across the Ravine
Most trees demand more than one meeting to make their best photograph, and, just as with people, sometimes the truest friends are not the ones who dazzle you at first but the ones who invite you to keep looking and listening. more
