"What's in a picture"? Well, here at Gattageo the photography is the work of our resident Geologist. Not only does Andy Duncan have four decades working as a professional geologist in the Oil & Gas Industry, he has also been creating images of the natural beauty of our planet for even longer.

Even offshore Oil installations can have a beauty all of their own. Geology is not just about the usefulness of the Earth's resources it is the understanding of everything around us: the rocks, mountains, landscapes and landforms, the nature of our coast and the oceans too.
