Hi.

I haven't got much to say here at present. You can see more of my photos at www.luphen.org.uk.

If you copy or use any of my photos on Wikipedia, I'd love to have an email from you.

• Digital photography
• Railways, particularly heritage railways

Contributions

In the time I have been active, contributions have included the following:

• Some minor edits of a range of pages, where I can indulge my desires to add semicolons, and to add and remove (as appropriate) apostrophes; I wonder if Lynne Truss knows about Wikipedia?

• Created Watford Locks and Dudley Tunnel
• Created Kendal and Windermere Railway
• Created Veterinary Medicines Directorate
• Created Borrowdale
• Created Bardon Hill, Black Hill (Peak District), Brown Willy, Cheriton Hill, Cliffe Hill, Cold Pike, Detling Hill, Grayrigg Forest, Gummer's How, Hutton Roof Crags, Kirkby Moor, May Hill, Place Fell, Ruardean Hill, Whitfell, Worcestershire Beacon
• Created Violet Click Beetle
• Significantly expanded Leith Hill
• Significantly expanded history of Leeds and Liverpool Canal, River Lee Navigation, Stort Navigation, River Wey, and Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation
• Work on various hills including creation of some pages (more to come), especially English Marilyns
• My wife has edited some dog showing pages while logged in as me; more will probably follow
• A variety of photographs added to various pages - see below
