About Me

I didn't discover geograph until 07/07/07 when most local squares had been taken but I got hooked pretty quickly. My heartland is East Suffolk, where I was born and grew up, and Norfolk, where I lived for nearly 30 years! I have got lots of interests and some of them surface through my geograph submissions.

My few GotY shortlistees:
2009:

TM0025 : Night-time snow scene in Roman Road (2) by Zorba the Geek

TM0534 : Stratford St Mary church, seen from East Bergholt by Zorba the Geek

NH2828 : Dog Falls cock chaffinch in breeding plumage by Zorba the Geek

TM4596 : Swans, cows, marsh by Zorba the Geek

2008:

TM1923 : Female Emperor Moth by Zorba the Geek

TF8745 : Red Admiral butterfly by Zorba the Geek

TF8545 : Cinnabar caterpillar (close-up) by Zorba the Geek

2007:

TM0733 : Human geography at Flatford on August Bank Holiday by Zorba the Geek

TG0629 : Ancient oak on the way to Thurning by Zorba the Geek

TL9925 : Brimming flower beds in Castle Park by Zorba the Geek

TM2832 : Old jetty, new cranes by Zorba the Geek

Six hectads completed: TM12[8/100], TM36[2/100], TM38[2/100], TM49[10/100], TM46[2/80], TF84 [3/70]
Sometimes I've trodden a little near the edge:

TM0025 : Moth on interior wall by Zorba the Geek

TG1836 : A well-travelled Moggie by Tom Maingay

TQ2679 : Example from the V&A fashion gallery by Zorba the Geek

TQ2779 : Constable's "Boat Building near Flatford Mill" by Zorba the Geek

TM0734 : Grasshopper indoors by Zorba the Geek

I love panoramas and if you like them too, have a look at the panorama gallery I compiled (now unlocked again!): Link

I've also launched 3 other galleries:
Link

- The idea is to collect locations that have figured in creative writing...and ...
Link

for those who like sand patterns. And finally, for the übergeek...
Link

- a world of blue plaques etc.

In January 2008, I reached the dizzy heights of 156th on the points table! But since then I haven't kept up. I've even dropped out of the top 200 for squares photographed.

The few GotYs apart, my own 2009 favourites so far:
