Northamptonshire, archaically known as the county of Northampton, lies in the East Midlands of England. The county is administered by Northamptonshire County Council and by seven non-metropolitan district councils. It is known as the Rose of the Shires.
Northamptonshire is an inland county and was once known as the county of spires and squires; the haunt of wealthy landowners (squires) and a place with lots of fine medieval church spires.
Industry and the new town developments have changed the face of Northamptonshire. Corby was until recently one of the greatest steelworks towns in England, working the local iron ore. Other towns around it have grown up to service Corby industry or to hug the transport links that cross the shire.
Northampton has long been famous for shoes and is one of the top locations for the leather-working trade. The town has grown substantially in the last decade or two since it was declared a new town. The new town elements are the growing outskirts of the town, but the centre remains that of a traditional market town.
Away from the developments Northamptonshire still retains a large number of old halls, manor houses and quiet villages.
Covering an area of 2,364 square kilometres (913 square miles), Northamptonshire is landlocked between eight other counties.
The countys motto is, Rosa concordiae signum, which means The rose, emblem of harmony.

Main towns: Brackley, Brixworth, Corby, Daventry, Earls Barton, Irthlingborough, Kettering, Northampton, Oundle, Rushden, Silverstone, Towcester and Wellingborough.

International motor racing takes place at Silverstone Circuit and Rockingham Motor Speedway. A study reported that Northamptonshires motorsport sites attract more than 2.1 million visitors per year, who spend a total of more than 131 million within the county.
Im a professional photographer, specialising in landscape and travel photography for over twenty-five years. Welcome to my book. I am based in Peterborough, and travel the UK and abroad many times a year searching for the best in scenic landscapes. I am self-taught, with years of travelling across the country, trekking up hills and around lakes, leaving towns, churches and cities behind me.
It all began when my dad, Pete, gave me his retirement present: a manual Pentax SLR with lenses. He taught me how to use it and that was it, I was hooked.
I joined the Peterborough Photographic Society and the photographers there taught me how to better use cameras, when to go out, what to look for in the weather, how to use maps, a compass and a sun compass to gauge where the best light would come from during the day, basic field #craft and more.
To enjoy the great outdoors and make a living from these environments is a true privilege. I am also a passionate environmentalist, promoting green issues and sustainability. I have trekked to Everest base camp, the Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu and the Andes in Peru, swam in glacial lakes in Canada, walked up volcanoes in Iceland and visited most of Europe.
The photographs in the book are the result of a lot of pre-planning, kit preparation, location finding, early mornings and hours of walking to and from subjects waiting for that right moment to press the shutter.
As a landscape photographer my vision is to create photographic images that people can enjoy looking at and think I want to go there and view that scene myself, where is it?
I am hugely influenced by hills and water hills generally lend themselves to the panoramic format of image and this is something I look for in the landscape when I am out and about.
