It is hard to believe that 2015 has now drawn to a close. The year seemed to race by at super quick speed, or perhaps the older I become the quicker time seems to pass!
Some of the joys of the year included taking part in monthly micro adventures. The themes were set by a number friends and fellow enthusiasts with the aim being to encourage us all to spend a bit more time outdoors, exploring new places and it not costing us an arm and a leg!
This year I tried out some wild camping without the support, or rather coverage, of a tent. My new Christmas gift of a bivvy bag had it's first outing in a chilly February under a wonderfully star filled night.
In December I was able to revisit a few of the themes and documented these in the images below.

At the beginning of December I revisited a place of historic interest in the form of a trip to Patan Durbar Square. On this occasion I was revisiting the square 8 months after many parts of it were damaged by the devastating April earthquake. Even some of the temple structures that survived can be seen to be supported by wooden struts. |
'Time with trees' had been an enjoyable challenge and this time round I chose to try and capture the trees near my home in different lighting conditions.
| 'Exploring a waterway' took me down to a blustery Hastings beach where the contract between the grey skies and the colourful pebble beach are evident. |
And finally, one of my last pictures of 2015 was of a sunset just outside the city of my birth, Newcastle Upon Tyne. This was one of only two days that was not shrouded in a blanket of grey clouds and rain!
Roll on more new micro adventures in 2016!
