Great Travel Photography
And so I have travelled around the world through other people’s photos, drunk and giddy with power to begin with before becoming rather overwhelmed by all the talent out there by the end…
It’s Not Easy Seeing Green
The time has come, however, for me to make my choice and announce the winner of the “green” category. I dreamed of writing about chlorophyll, the pigment that gives nature its very green colour and that also helps create oxygen and sugar from sunlight and water.

The Eye of the Ibis – Inside a Bird Sanctuary

Diving Into Paradise – Redang, Malaysia

The Horses of Petra, Jordan
Dust rose from the ground as the horse thundered past and the sun began its ablutions. It painted pinks and pomegranates, amber, pistachio, charcoal and soft apricot rust across the walls of Petra before calling it a day and turning in for an early night…
On Fire at the Egerton Hotel: An Independent Luxury Hotel Review
There are hotels. And then there are hotels. Places so imaginative, so extraordinary and so unusual that they stand out as experiences in their own right. The Egerton Hotel in Knightsbridge, London, is one of those hotels…
