I never used to like strong sun. The temperate summer of verdant and lush England always suited me fine.

The rain was the price of the incomparable greens of the Spring. Everything was balanced…

And then I became more involved with creative photography… and my trusty iPhone Pro has never been far from my questing fingers and eyes, since.

But then I noticed, while on holiday, that the power of the brighter sun lent creative potential to all kinds of scenes.
Some climates seem perfect for the amateur photographer, giving an abundance of light amidst inspiring semi-tropical foliage and structures designed to partner with sunshine rather than to repel it.
Herewith a selection of the best of my attempts from this week’s (hopefully) end of winter break in Gran Canaria. I hope they lift your zest levels as they did mine…

Oh, they did, Steve. I am now raised up and waiting for some of our own strong sunshine…
