A stunning series of 4 images of the stern deck of an Arctic Supply vessel taken in late summer 2016 at 4am with the sun still high off the horizon. The intensely clear, cobalt blue sky with just a few high altitude clouds together with the inky blue colour of the cold Arctic Ocean contrast perfectly with the reddish-brown polished deck timbers of the ship as complimentary colours. The distant snow and ice-capped peaks of North-West Spitsbergen in the Svalbard Archipelago can be seen on the horizon, specifically Albert I Land & Haakon VII Land. The lack of any floating sea ice, icebergs or ice floes is noteworthy and illustrative of global warming caused by Climate Change, so prevalent in the Polar Regions, especially the North. The long shadows and unique light cast by the "midnight sun" at this latitude, coupled with the complete lack of any people on board and no obvious sign of life anywhere, add to the atmospheric nature of these images. Only the unused paraphernalia of life saving equipment evident in all four images - the life belts, lifebuoys, life jackets and lifeboats - give a lie to the dangers involved in sailing in these remote waters. This first image is of the Stern Deck taken with a fish-eye lens for added interest. The old-fashioned, unoccupied wooden slat deckchairs in a neat hyperbolic curve around the railings of the boat; the lens distortion has created a pronounced curve in the rear flagpole as well as in the parallel joint lines on the polished deck floor which neatly creates a vanishing point at the focal point where the best view of the mountains inland can be seen.

This second image is taken from exactly the same place as the first but looks the other way towards the low sun in Northern sky. The long shadows and one of the ship's lifeboats, together with the old fashioned ship's funnels, add to the atmospheric and noastalgic nature of this image.

Is anyone even up at these times?

The lifeboat, the lifebelt, the ropes, and the life jackets all serve to illustrate the inherent dangers in these waters.

This is a unique collection of six images of the Hebridean island of Harris, off North West Scotland. Taken at dawn in late April (around 4 am) this is sunrise rather than the more common sunset. Since this coast faces due west, and the next landfall is Nova Scotia in Canada some 3000 miles away, it is much more common to see the sun going down over the sea horizon but it is much rarer to capture the crystal clear morning light, free of all wind and storms depicted in these 6 images. The unique juxtaposition of sea channels, inroads and mountains is unique to Harris as is the aquamarine colour of the waters of the North Atlantic. This first file is an unusually clear image of the Headland known locally as Caepabhal (in Gaelic) or Toe Head (in English). The beach is known as Scarasta and green pastures in the foreground as a golf course.

This fourth image is a wider shot of the sound of Taransay with the uninhabited island of Taransay beyond.

This fourth and final image looks directly starboard across the waters to the dark brooding peak of Trollhatten - the highest peak on Albert I Land at 1030 m or 3380 ft. The shadows have created an interesting dotted, curve line effect in the grout between the parquet wooden strips on the deck floor.

This second image is of a grass verge roadside leading the eye to the High Peaks of the North Harris hills as they are known but they are actually mountains. The condensation trails from airplanes crossing the skies above adds to the atmospheric nature of the image and gives direction to the viewer.

This is the sixth and final image in the series and is of the hillside and croft land to the south of Harris. The ridges and earthworks in the pastures boundaried by dry stone walls are evidence of the centuries these islands have been inhabited and the land cultivated or used as pasture for animals in equivalence to today's Crofts.

This fifth picture is of the settlement of Scarasta and the distinctive round hill tops of the hills of South Harris. The view is due South towards the Uists, Berneray and Benbecula, all of which can be just seen on the horizon over the Sound of Harris.
