NEW LOCATION KLAXON

Welcome to Crummackdale, north of Austwick, this valley is oft-overlooked but features some of the most extensive limestone pavement and scars in all of the Yorkshire Dales.

Extra bonus: Pen-y-Ghent looking like pure drama.

There's plenty more images from this day, send your eyespheres here https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/7/27/crummackdale-yorkshire-dales-summer 👍

Sorry, it's been a while since my last update. June and July have been... TUMULTUOUS.

Here are the Duddo Five Stones! Roughly 4,000 years old, just north of their namesake village. A mystical and timeless place, aided by dramatic skies.

No visit to Northumberland is complete without seeing Bamburgh.

History. Vast beaches. Dunes. Castle. Wildflowers. It's an epic place that fills you with a sense of awe.

I never get tired of coming here.

NEW WORK AND NEW LOCATION: Welcome to the historical ruins of Dryburgh Abbey in the Scottish Borders.

Constructed nearly 900-years ago in the 1150s, the lives of the monks here consisted of religious services, agricultural duties, household functions, copying books and reading.

There're more photos from this ancient place, just go here -> https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/6/21/dryburgh-abbey-dryburgh-scottish-borders-summer 👍

NEW WORK & LOCATION

This is the Rumbling Kern, near Howick in Northumberland. We've explored a lot of the Northumberland coast, but this area was new to us and we were ASTOUNDED by what we found. Crazy geology!

There's more photos from here, just nip over to my website -> https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/6/8/rumbling-kern-howick-northumberland-summer 👍

I'm back from a week in Northumberland, celebrating my loved one's 50th birthday.

First, welcome to Cheswick Sands, an obscure part of the Northumberland coastline. No facilities, no shops, no infrastructure; just miles of beach punctuated with otherworldly rocks.

There's LOADS more images from this day, loads. Wanna peek? Go here -> https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/6/1/cheswick-sands-northumberland-spring 👍

NEW WORK: The historical ruins of Jervaulx Abbey, North Yorkshire.

I've been meaning to explore this place for YEARS, but have seemingly never got round to it. Finally managed to sort that out recently. Incredible place that fills you with a sense of awe.

There's more photos from this day, and they await your eyeballs here -> https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/5/14/jervaulx-abbey-nidderdale-national-landscape-north-yorkshire-spring 👍

I’ve been meaning to visit here for years.

Did my semi-regular check of our instance finances, and due to global events, we're not looking great.

I'd estimate we have approx 3 months of hosting funds left.

Exchange rates, and a fall off in backers has led us to this situation.

So if you enjoy your time here, and can spare a few coins on a regular basis (or even just the odd one-off), it'd be appreciated.

Details of where to contribute are on the about page:

Just got back from a wee little birthday trip away! I'm 42 now. That's right, I am now the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

For my birthday we explored the Southern Uplands near Moffat, and boy were conditions glorious.

There's more photos from our time away, just go here and see what you think -> https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/4/27/southern-uplands-dumfriesshire-scotland-spring 👍

Further to the launch of my new Isle of Skye portfolio, 11-years in the making (https://www.iancylkowski.com/scottish-islands/isle-of-skye), let's highlight a few specific areas.

First, here's 𝗦𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻, one of the first true "wow" factors you come across when on the island. Here you get sweeping panoramas that take in both the Red and Black Cuillins.

There are also loads of rivers in the area, with delightful water features that lend themselves to amazing compositions.
