When I agreed to take part in this as a sometimes-keen amateur photographer, I wasn't sure what to say about what I photographed and wanted to show. However, looking over the pictures I have chosen, I realise that the weather is a frequent feature of my images, as well as nature and landscape. In a world increasingly threatened by global warming, images of sunsets and storms could symbolise both the beauty of nature and the implied power of the forces being unleashed. Of course great pictures of stormy weather are sometimes hard to get, so I also show odd winter landscape with quiet blue sky.
