I love telling stories and sharing my videos. History, culture, travel, architecture, music and all the surprises of this amazing world are my starting point.
Dunster Winter Festival 2024, Somerset, UK, highlights including The Mediaeval Baebes concert.
The Dunster Winter Festival in Somerset, UK. Dunster is a beautiful medieval village. I have tried to capture the atmosphere and experience. The fabulous Medieval Baebes led the procession to the Priory Church of St George founded in the 11th Century. The carved wooden screen behind the singers has been there for over 800 years and is one of the best in the UK. An unforgettable evening.

A tunnel of trees and an unforgettable experience. This video is speeded up x6 and it's still calming!

Colombians have a great sense of humour and my brother-in-law is no exception. He needs it - as everyone calls his car "The Lamborghini". This is a quick, speeded up trip from the outskirts to downtown Villaviencio, Meta, Colombia, the regional and administrative centre of Meta and the gateway to the Llanos (the plains). The Llaneros, the inhabitants of the plains, are fierce horsemen who first...

A mysterious obelisk appeared on Hay Bluff in the Black Mountains above Hay-on-Wye in Wales. Newspapers said locals were 'baffled' by the mysterious entity. Was it aliens? I decided to find out. Something about the mysterious entity inspired me to bring a hammer!! (Viewers who have not watched 2001: A Space Odyssey, might miss the reference). Enjoy!

The Spanish officially founded the...
