Coffee in the Midnight Sun

A new travel website offers opportunities for writers to send in articles - and they are running a competition!

I've got a short piece in today, all about a previous summer visit to Iceland, called Coffee in the Midnight Sun.  Click to read http://travelexpert.org.uk/coffee-midnight-sun/

Iceland has a truly inspirational landscape and is a photographer's dream.

They've included 2 pics by my brother Chris Ayres  - who has an AMAZING album of photos on flickr - click http://www.flickr.com/photos/scuba_beer/sets/

Plus the article features one of my modest efforts of Iceland's famous church.  And below is a stunning pic from my partner Roger taken during our visit.

Really pleased that my post (or rant as my brother called it!) about the difficulties of visibility for creatives is in http://creatabot.co.uk/2012/11/01/garrets-and-gatekeepers-by-jane-ayres/

Do check it out as I would love your views.  And here is the cool pic taken in Tallin that my talented brother took which I used to illustrate the article.
