Speaking to a few of our readers it seems like a lot of you are pretty gutted that BBC’s Frozen Planet series has reached it’s end. There’s obviously something quite captivating about seeing new environments that we aren’t familiar with, so with this in mind I thought it would be fitting to return to photographer Tim Simmons as his portfolio is packed full of similar jaw dropping scenery. Lot’s of these shots we’ve got here today …
Photography really was my first creative love so I always feel obliged to keep the site ticking over with a little photographic work, particularly when it’s this good.
