Mike Peak, BA (Hons), ARPS .... Tales from the viewpoint of a photographer


Mike Peak, the Photographer and the Proprietor of PhotoLocate, has enjoyed using a variety of cameras in a variety of locations. Originally using transparency films to produce slide shows for visitors to the Yorkshire Dales, now uses Digital cameras and processes. These northern areas of Great Britain are often dismissed, but I can assure you they are well worth a visit.

Welcome to my thoughts and some of my many images

After a half century as an Accountant, I have decided to leave the number crunching behind me and be creative. Most of the images are those from scenes and occasions that I meet in my travels. There's a large number from my sojourn in the Yorkshire Dales where I lived for 13 years. Have a browse through http://www.photolocate.com/ - and re-visit, because there will be changes and many more images as the months roll by. For a more "specialist" style have a look at http://www.mikepeakphotography.com/

Do drop in and add a few comments. (Click on any of the images for more details)

Post Boxes


For many years our means of communication has been by means of a letter and those letters form important resources for historians and novelists. This rich source of information is rapidly being discontinued as we continue to increase the telephone and email as a means of communication and information.

On my journeyings I have been fascinated to see the variety of post boxes, many of historical interest, that still stand in our streets and on or in walls around our country. Then later I discovered that other countries use different colours to the UK. Here is a short selection, which I hope can be added to as the years go on. To read about them, buy the small "Shire Album" by Martin Robinson, "Old Letter Boxes".
