No visit to Northumberland is complete without seeing Bamburgh.

History. Vast beaches. Dunes. Castle. Wildflowers. It's an epic place that fills you with a sense of awe.

I never get tired of coming here.

A dense cluster of pale yellow lupin flowers dominates the foreground, their tall spires rising above lush green foliage, while behind them sandy dunes and patches of red wildflowers stretch towards the imposing stone walls of Bamburgh Castle, which stands partially hidden by trees beneath a bright, lightly clouded sky.

A dramatic view of Bamburgh Castle sits atop grassy dunes in the distance, overlooking a sweeping sandy beach edged by jagged dark rocks and patches of green seaweed, with turquoise waves gently lapping the shore beneath a moody, cloud-filled sky.

A vibrant field of red poppies fills the foreground, their delicate petals and green stems swaying amongst tall, pale grasses, while in the distance, the imposing stone walls and towers of Bamburgh Castle rise above the dunes, framed by lush green trees beneath a pale blue sky.

Hot take:

The best way to plan a trip is to do as little planning as you possibly can.

You can literally just exist in a place, feel the vibes, and let the winds of fate dictate where you happen to end up next.

That is the best way to #travel.

The vast majority of my favorite moments in life are directly the result of not planning.

When I photographed this red-footed falcon, I was simply thrilled to have it so close. Only later, while looking at the image, did I realize what it was holding in its beak, a lizard.

A reminder that every moment in nature tells a story. Sometimes, that story hits harder than expected.


Of course, I know that the falcon has to eat. But witnessing this moment even unintentionally touched me.
