The Three Valleys, French Alps
The Three Valleys, French Alps

During my Royal Air Force days, I travelled extensively for work and in more recent years for pleasure. Exploring new places has always been a thrill for me. Whether it’s meandering along back alleys of a foreign city, trekking up mountains or sailing and diving in the oceans, I love discovering different environments. The majesty of the Earth’s landscapes and the incredibly complex system of nature’s creatures and plants leave me in wonder at their brilliance. I’m not a believer in all this coming about by accident. It just has to have been designed.
