Turquoise Paradise

When visiting breathtakingly beautiful Bonaire, you just have to explore the island. Drive south along the amazing coastal route or directly across country to the south east from the colourful capital Kralendijk to the turquoise waters and overwhelming nature of Lac Bay. Enjoy paradise on earth at Sorobon Beach at the far end of the small peninsula.

Dip your toes into the wonderfully warm, turquoise waters. Go swimming, paddling or windsurfing. The lagoon is protected by the sandbanks from the Atlantic Ocean and often shallow enough to stand.

Colourful Qatari Contrasts

Qatar is a country of contrasts. When visiting the capital, Doha, be sure to take a stroll along the Corniche promenade and delve into the history of the city. Look at traditional garments, spices, handicrafts, and souvenirs in the colourful shops in the traditional Souq Waqif market with its spice-scented air, before visiting the Museum of Islamic Art with its fascinating modern architecture.

Traditional dhows – colourful wooden fishing boats – lie at anchor in the harbour alongside motor boats, set against a backdrop of stunning, modern skyscrapers on the city’s skyline across the bay.

Waterfront Bliss in Key Biscayne

I drove over the impressive Rickenbacker Causway from Miami on the Florida coast to explore the barrier island of Key Biscayne (Spanish: Cayo Vizcaíno) with its beautiful beaches, secluded private moorings and luxury villas.

I could well imagine sitting back on the deck or in the gazebo of my waterfront home, with my yacht moored out front and my golf cart parked alongside my limousine in the garage, enjoying the view across the turquoise waters of Hurricane Harbor Bay. Far beyond this idyllic, peaceful scene, the contrasting skyscrapers and skyline of Downtown Miami are just visible on the horizon. It is a lifestyle I could get used to.

Remote Port Ness Beach

The north west of the Outer Hebridean Isle of Lewis is unique and very remote. I can assure you the journey along single track roads from Stornoway is well worth it. Make sure to explore Port Ness Beach, where towering rocks meet the crashing waves of the Atlantic.

Even if the local school children were having their summer sports day and some were evening swimming in the sea nearby, I recommend you wrap up well against the winds and weather!

This sandy beach with rugged rocks and cliffs is the perfect backdrop for a breathtaking Atlantic seascape. Port Ness (Nis in Gaelic), Isle of Lewis (Eilean Leòdhais), Scotland.

Glorious Day on Loch Fyne

Travelling southward from Inverary on the Kintyre peninsula we enjoyed many stunning views like this one across Loch Fyne to the hills of Cowal beyond. This spectacular, 65-mile long sea loch in the west of Scotland is washed by tidal waters from the Atlantic. It is also well known for its delicious smoked haddock or Finnan Haddies.

It is a wonderful bus journey from Glasgow through the southern Highlands passing through the pretty town of Inverary towards Tarbet and Campbelltown.

Beautiful Baltic Dusk

Early January and it was chilly with frost at night and the occasional flurry of snow. But the early dusk meant I could enjoy breathtaking moments like this as the last rays of sun on the horizon lit up the Baltic Sea in the Greifswalder Bodden.

I dressed up in my woolly hat, long-john thermal underwear, fingerless-gloves and cozy, waterproof boots and crouched down on the pebbly shore to capture this view across the bay from the village of Klein Zicker on the Mönchsgut peninsula in the south of the island of Ruegen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Germany.

Chrysi Island Paradise

I’m in love with Crete and its fascinating history and culture. The people are so welcoming and generous. The food is often simple yet healthy and delicious. And my photographer’s eye has so much to feast on too:-)

If you visit and have time to travel to the south east, take a boat trip from Ierapetra across to the uninhabited Chrissi Island, in the Libyan Sea just south of Crete. You’ll be knocked out by its untouched beauty, rugged lava coast, golden sandy beaches and stunning turquoise waters. This hidden gem is a Mediterranean paradise just waiting to be explored.

Chrysi, Chrissi or Chrisi from Greek Χρυσή

In the Blue Lagoon

On a visit to the fascinating island of Malta I set off for the day on a boat’s tour from Valletta to explore the neighbouring isles of Gozo and Comino.

The Blue Lagoon on Comino island is famous not only for its amazing turquoise waters but also because scenes from the film of the same name were recorded here. It most definitely lives up to its name.
Perfect for swimming or simply chilling with a cocktail on the beach, especially late in the day when most tourists have left.

Of course, as well as taking lots of fab photos, I couldn’t resist bathing in the crystal clear waters too:-)

Magnificent West Sands

I stepped down onto the untamed West Sands Beach and breathed in the salty sea air. It was perfect weather for a stroll as the waves washed against the Scottish North Sea coast. The cloud-kissed horizon and the pristine shoreline made it an unforgettable experience.

St Andrews, with its university and historic old town, is the perfect destination for a day trip or holiday. Take time to enjoy the stunning beaches and explore the fascinating town, castle and abbey ruins and picturesque harbour. Maybe even sign up for a round of golf on the famous golf course. Or take along your bucket and spade and build sandcastles.

St Andrews, Kingdom of Fife, Scotland.

Crystal Blue Balos Vista

Jump into the clear blue waters off the shore of the captivating island of Balos with views over the Aegean to the Cretan mountains. The pristine turquoise sea creates and this idyllic panorama are truly Greek in spirit. A popular spot for visitors to the north west of Crete, just a short boat ride from Kissamos.

I love taking photos like this while swimming with my waterproof Olympus Tough cam.

Golden Amber Moments

I strolled down to the harbour on a wonderfully warm evening in early June and was rewarded with this stunning view of the traditional houses along the shore, bathed in the golden rays of the evening sun – not at all stormy as it looks!

I was accompanied in the distance by a live band playing modern Scottish music at the Annual whisky feis (festival).

You just have to ignore the midges who want to be part of the scene:-/

River Severn in the Spotlight

The River Severn Estuary shines as if lit from within, reflecting the golden glow of the sun, with the original Severn Bridge and the Severn Second Crossing peeking through the mist.

I captured this breathtaking view from high above the world, on a plane from London to the USA. Lucky passengers like me caught a glimpse of this special moment when the clouds parted to reveal a heavenly scene.

Castlebay Morning Light

I got up early for a walk and enjoyed the stunning views overlooking the natural bay and the beaches of neighbouring Vatersay beyond. The crystal-clear water glistened in the sun, creating a breathtaking sight. Just the birds, the sound of the waves and the breeze as an accompaniement. Capturing the essence of the Scottish Hebridean islands.

Charming Cellardyke Harbour

When staying over in the Anstruther in the East Neuk of Fife, I wandered along the coast and stepped back in time to enjoy the history of idyllic Cellardyke, formerly known as Nether Kilrenny or Sillerdyke. Originally built in the 16th century, the picturesque harbour was rebuilt around 1830 with typical coastal architecture and red pan tile rooves. I enjoyed exploring the quaint village and the pier with its lobster pots and washing lines.

Caribbean Feeling

Pure paradise for snorkelling or swimming in the turquoise waters or chilling with a cocktail, the warm, golden sand between your toes.

The pretty beach at Playa Lagun in a small cove on the colourful island of Curaçao is often crowded at the weekend but during the week it is a peaceful haven. Dutch Caribbean.

Beautiful Bunnahabhain Beach

Well worth taking a stroll along the beautiful beach at Bunnahabhain (Tràigh Bun na h-Abhainne) for the stunning views across the Sound of Islay before popping in for a visit to the distillery of the same name nearby to sample the delicious golden amber.

On the Edge of the World

Or so it feels, when you look out over those turquoise Mediterranean waters and colossal cliffs from El Pilar de la Mola.

The charming Balearic Island of Formentera is only reachable by ferry from Ibiza or by your own private yacht:-) There is no airport.

But it is well worth it. Not just for this view from its highest plateau near the Mola lighthouse but for its amazing turquoise waters, gorgeous sandy beaches and its unique flair.
