Bishop Hill

Bishop Hill (03 Mar 2013)

The snow still lingers…  This shows gliders waiting to launch at the Scottish Gliding Centre, which gets lots of visitors each Spring & Autumn wanting to fly on the ridges. Shutter speed: 1/2200s ISO: 100 Focal length: 4.6mm… 

West Lomond

West Lomond (28 Mar 2013)

The snow has gone from the fields but is still lying on the north face of West Lomond. It stayed for ages in the fields apparently not going, but it was gradually getting thinner until…

West Lomond (21 Mar 2013)

10 days later and the snow is still there! Another shot taken with the Nexus 4. This image also shows the gap of Glen Vale between West Lomond on the left, and Bishop Hill on…

West Lomond (11 Mar 2013)

March 2013 had some major snowfall but also some beautiful sunny days.  This view of West Lomond shows the north face.  This is one of the first reasonable photos I took with a phone camera.… 

Linn of Tummel

Linn of Tummel (01 Jan 2013)

Linn of Tummel (26 Dec 2012)

Another wonderful set of falls in Scotland, though apparently not as dramatic as before Loch Faskelly was created to hold water for the hydro power station at Pitlochry.  I parked at the Garry Bridge and… 

Bracklinn Falls

Bracklinn Falls (25 Dec 2012)

Another favourite location, and on Christmas day morning it was wonderfully quiet.  I love the sharply-defined pothole, and the partial one further back. I believe these are worn by both ice during the last glaciation,… 

Linn Dubh

Linn Dubh (23 Dec 2012)

Linn Dubh on the Brann is a favourite location.  I managed to visit just before Christmas 2012 when the river was in spate. In this photo, I like the effect of a veil over the… 

Succulents

Succulents (22 Sep 2012)

The gardens at Cragside are beautiful and when I visited had some plantings of succulents.  I have no idea what species these are, but I love the subtle colours and patterns. Shutter speed: 1/50s Aperture: ƒ/8 ISO: 100… 

Blue

Blue (12 Aug 2012)
