The good, the bad and the … beautiful?
Bykaterattray October 17, 2011

You know what it is like when someone has seen your work, then you post a photo of it on the web, and they say “the photo doesn’t do your work justice”. You are sure your photo was a good one so it leaves you feeling very good about your work. That’s great, but what…

Flying to Folksy
Bykaterattray December 6, 2011

Last April I was out with my family watching the gliders at the Mendip flying club. It was very exciting seeing them being pulled into the air almost vertically with the aid of a wynch , then after the wynch hook dropped the glider finding balance and floating gracefully up high into the air.
