This image shows the reality of battling a moorland fire in the Peak District this week. The truth about fighting moorland fires is that it’s dangerous, suffocating, hot, and demanding work. It demonstrates how quickly a single spark can escalate. Please — no naked flames

Here’s to fresh air, and landscapes that feel like home. #PeakDistrict #LandscapeArt #MorningLight #NatureLovers #Countryside #BritishLandscape #ArtOfTheDay #DigitalArt #PeacefulPlaces #WanderMore

My latest illustration

Many happy returns to the Peak District National Park The original UK National Park, leading the way since 1951. #PeakDistrict #NationalPark #Since1951 #PeakDistrictNationalPark #Derbyshire

Slow Sunday, soft light, and a few daffodils on the windowsill Sometimes it’s just about taking a moment to notice the little things. #SlowMoments #LittleThings #MorningLight #Daffodils

This illustration is the third to come from my imagination after watching Dirty Business on Channel 4. It’s stayed with me in a heavy way. A jury returned a verdict of misadventure, but it’s hard not to think of the young girl and her family. #channel4 #documentary

@Feargal_Sharkey I thought you might be interested in a couple of illustrations I've produced since watching the Channel 4 drama Dirty Business. They are admittedly quite grim in tone. Thank you for your time Cheers, Mark Leah

'Troubled Waters' I had to create another illustration. While otters are one of Britain's most famous conservation success stories, their recovery now sits alongside worrying regional declines. #FragileComeback #TroubledWaters #SilentDecline #NatureAtRisk #SaveOurRivers

I’ve put together this slideshow featuring some recent illustrations from Glossop and the surrounding area. A study of how people often fail to notice the life happening right in front of them 📱 Myself definitely included. #GlossopLife #PeakDistrict #Illustration #ModernLife

Swan Song After watching Dirty Business on Channel 4, I ended up illustrating something a bit different from what I usually do. What do you think? #environment #pollution #rivers #waterpollution #ItsOnlyArt

@Suesandy506 What are you thoughts on my art and how do we move forward?

@MLeah Kindly send me a direct message let's discuss more about it

Just finished this piece: Narcissistic Senior A subtle study of power, perception and the fine art of never being wrong. Sound familiar? #ItsOnlyArt #Illustration #Satire #Caravaggio #SelfReflection #Ego

@Suesandy506 Yeah, what are you thinking?

@MLeah I love your style and was wondering if you'd be available for sales

A little sign, a big bit of history. #PeakDistrict #KinderScout #RightToRoam #HistoryInTheHills #Derbyshire

Winter returning to the edges of Kinder Scout. #PeakDistrict #KinderScout #WinterLight #SwinesBack

A quiet reminder that the landscape holds both memory and renewal. #PeakDistrict #KinderScout #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography #TreesOfInstagram #UKLandscape #WildBritain #OutdoorPhotography #NatureLovers

Artistic licence doing overtime Yes, the petrol station stunt happened… No, it didn’t look like this This bloke? Straight out of my sketchbook. #Satire #NotReal #Buxton

One of those mornings that gives you a proper lift The Peak District doing what it does best. #PeakDistrict #SpringMorning #LittleHayfield #SpringDays

Here is my completed illustration It's simply a gentle visual reflection on the events unfolding around us and the ripple effects they have on society and our communities. As always, it's just what my slightly weird brain processes and turns into images #visualstorytelling

After my last post was taken down by a social media group earlier this week due to a few unsavoury comments, I thought I’d share something a little more tranquil #PeakDistrict #Hayfield #ColdwellClough #TheKnot #PeakDistrictPhotography
