I've got a few thousand photos to go through and was going to change the photos on this page from time to time, but too many people have asked for them to stay! Please feel free to copy any photos, if your using them commercially please put reference to Seylec and if your making money from my photos I'd like some ! Of all the photos on the website, the Magic mushroom photo is now being used the most, all over the World, closely followed by the Tiger tank piccy.

An Angry Elephant in Africa !

 You would be suprised how hard it is to see elephants in the scrub until you get very close, we drove within 30 foot before we spotted some on one of the trails !

The view from the Basin Nature reserve across to St Mary's Church in Maldon, you can see the Thames Barge moored in front of the Maldon Little ship club. You get a good view from here of the Maldon mud race!

Wrecks at Salcott, near Heybridge Basin
salcotwreck.jpg

This is an early evening view across the salcott towards Heybridge Basin, although we have some fantastic walks along the sea wall, its hard to take a picture without telephone cables and street lights in!

Basin Tornado
DSCN7488.jpg

One of my mates ( Andy Fawcett ) took this picture from his front door on Basin road, the actual twister is above my house in Harfred Avenue, Heybridge Basin!!!! Not as big as they have in America, but proof we have had a tornado in Essex, UK.

Beeleigh Weir

This is the view from the wooden bridge across to Beeleigh weir, if you follow the canal from the Basin you come past here, across the bridge is Beeleigh Abbey.

Thames barges in Maldon

A winter afternoon walk on the Hythe in Maldon, the Thames barges are normally moored here through out the year and some are available for hire.

Tollesbury Sail loft
sailloft.jpg

If you keep on walking past Goldhanger along the sea wall, you eventually get to Tollesbury. This Sail loft in Tollesbury had some TV coverage last year when people voted to save this or another building in the UK, unfortunately Tollesbury lost.

Belgium George

I've noticed a few people have photos of these barge remains off the Basin sea wall on their sites. About 10 years ago a local 'character' called Belgium George still used to live on a couple of old MTBs by the side of these hulks. When he retired from his job, he didn't want anything electrical around him so moved onto the MTBs and collected wood as a hobby! These barges and the MTBs used to be piled high with bits of boats and old pianos. After he died everything but the barge hulks where burnt.

Peniscola castle

The castle at Peniscola in Spain where they filmed the final scenes for El Cid. The beach were the dead Chalton Heston bounced along on his Horse is now full of hotels. If anyone wants to contact Tony Jack Morgan he now lives just the other side of this castle.

Joseph and the "wolf"
fox.jpg

This was a nice event, my youngest son came running in the front room shouting "Theres a wolf in the back garden". I think the fox was poorly or very hungry, it came round for a week or two at the same time each evening then disappeared.

Harfred sunset
sunset.jpg

See what I mean about cables! We do get some cracking sunsets in Heybridge Basin, its also good for seeing Storms out in the North sea from the sea wall.

Anthony's first catch
mar2.jpg

I had to put a picture of Anthony, my oldest son, somewhere to stop him moaning! This was his first time fishing from a Boat in the Blackwater, plenty of smooth hounds, Tope and Ray at certain times of the year.

Giraffes !

Couple of Giraffes in Kenya, you see loads of them when you go out for a drive.

Through the trees

I find that outdoor woodland shots are good as wallpaper, so even if you don't have a window in your office at least you can see some greenary

Christmas cones
gardencone.jpg

This was the 1985 Christmas tree from the Old ship, after its seasonal use we planted it in the front garden and its now 20ft high and 2006 saw its first cones, only put this pic up for use as a Chistmas wallpaper!

Cancum, Mexico
Busybeach.jpg

Good thing about Cancum during Spring break is that the beaches, cafes and pools are empty in the morning due to everybody sleeping in from the night before !!

Sarah Jane

My darling wife Sarah.
The expression in this picture is response to me telling her a topless shot would get a lot more hits on the site, but she just won't do it.

What no SA80
shotgunshaun.jpg

I'd prefer an SA80 or GPMG but a shotgun is easier to shoot clays! This was taken up at my brothers in Norfolk, as soon as my youngest son worked out what I was carrying he ran inside as he is not keen on the noise of guns. He works on the idea the bigger the gun then worse the noise so you should see his face when Jack comes round in the Scorpion tank!

More coming soon!
