Sometimes I do get to places just when God’s ready to have somebody click the shutter. (Ansell Adams)
I get lucky shots too.(Voluntary Ranger)

My name is Jamie Green and I live in the south of the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, NW England.
Check out my RedBubble Website which you can use if you wish to contact me.

I made the big move to the English Lake District in 1998, having come up on holiday every year from Chelmsford in Essex since 1983 and fallen in love with the fells and lakes. Now I live here I spend my holidays in Scotland,especially Gairloch in the NW and the Cairngorms in the NE.
I was a civil servant for 21 years before giving it up to be a folk singer/ guitarist which I did for about 8 years.I now mainly act as chauffeur for my wife.
I have been a “Voluntary Ranger” with the National Park Volunteers service since 2002.
My interests are birdwatching,fell walking and latterly photography and where I live is great for all 3.
I am always accompanied by my trusty Patterdale Terrier ,Tarn
