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)

Provence


This remarkable area of France has plenty to see and do. The Camargue with its white horses and flamingos is an area that attracts many visitors and is flat enough for a leisurely cycle tour.
There are Roman remains and artifacts in places like Arles and the Aqueduct, Pont du Garde. Visit the magnificent Palace of the Popes at Avignon to see and hear something of the church down the centuries.
Visit Les Baux de Provence and the Cathedrale d'Images to see an incredible slide show (which changes each year) in an old underground limestone quarry. For 2009 it is paying homage to Pablo Picasso. For more detail go to http://www.cathedrale-images.com/.
