Sunseed

Welcome to Sunseed

For a while now I’ve been hearing about the work carried out at the Sunseed project near Sorbas (http://www.sunseed.org.uk) so last night (in fact last Tuesday now) a former volunteer and friend took Dale, Heather, Amber and myself there for a tour, dinner and just generally to hang out.

What I found was a lovely caring community with people living and practicing a sustainable organic lifestyle; there were compost toilets, solar cookers, solar panels and pretty much everything was recycled to some extent; this was a great place to be.

Though I have are a number of reservations relating to the management / staffing of Sunseed, this is great place to visit and if the inclination takes you, a great place to become a (paying) volunteer and get involved. All details can be found on their website (link given above).

Martyn Thompson Website

The Martyn Thompson Landscape Photography website is still in development and will be live shortly. I am creating a website to promote photography tours / workshops in the Parque Natural de Cabo de Gata and surrounding areas of Spain.

Located in the south-eastern corner of Spain, Cabo de Gata-Níjar is Andalucia’s largest coastal protected area, a wild and isolated landscape with some of Europe’s most original geological features. The eponymous mountain range is Spain’s largest volcanic rock formation with sharp peaks and crags in ochre-hues. It falls steeply to the sea creating jagged 100m-high cliffs, which are riven by gullies leading to hidden coves with white sandy beaches, some of the most beautiful in Andalucia. Offshore are numerous tiny rocky islands and, underwater, extensive coral reefs teeming with marine life.

I will be offering a wide variety of landscape photography experiences ranging from basic camera techniques to specialist bespoke photographic excursions and together with associates, wild-life photography trips such as bird-watching, night-photography, even aerial photography.

My mission is to provide the best photographic experiences to you whilst promoting a healthy respect for the surrounding environment and nature.
