A very old Image
A street artist uses his chalks to create a masterpiece on the streets of Edinburgh. -
Twa Pipers
My good friend Iain asked me to take his photo for a new advert for the Council brochure. Well I missed the first sitting because I was watching the football, but he didn’t ’shoot me’ (another story) and we rescheduled. As you can see, there are two of them, all dressed up to the nineties in [...] -
Haven in Skye
We are just back from Skye and having watched Monty and his dog, Reuben in South Uist on telly you do miss the place; rain and wind included. Monty had just been to visit St Kilda, forty-one miles off the coast of the Outer Hebrides. Like many before him had fallen for the island, even [...] -
Look what we found
This morning I couldn’t believe my eyes. Initially I thought the pile of bags dropped onto the walkway was the work of a ‘tipster’ but I now know it was the work of The Water of Leith Conservation Group who had been cleaning up this stretch of the river. It’s not often you find a Honda [...] -
Special Offer
A real saving can be made in Tesco stores this week. Don’t buy the pack of six buns for 50p, buy two packs for a £1 … and save the time to have two packets scanned rather one. No-one at Tesco wished to comment. And based on previous mistakes in this store, they wouldn’t care. -
Thou Shalt Not Play
Now this doesn’t seem fair at all! The park has everything a kid wants – swings goalposts, grass and lots of space. So why can’t it be used on a Sunday? Because that’s the day is called the Sabbath in this neck of the woods and you’re not meant to enjoy yourself. They’ve only just allowed [...] -
Paisley Close
On the Royal Mile, aka the High Street in Edinburgh there are many, many closes (small alleys) which cut through the main apartment buildings, in both sides of the streets. Above each Close is a name plaque and sometimes a little bit of history. But one Close has the most decorative stonework plus a scroll [...] -
Should Munro Baggers have these?
This is a typical waymark post in the Italian Alps, also seen in Slovenia, Austria and possibly all European mountain areas. You’ll find them at crossroad paths, trail start/end points; in fact, everywhere. If you get lost in these countries, you are either blind or the weather is really bad (happened to me, but [...] -
Neist Point
A very strange thing indeed. You walk onto the shore and all around you are piles of rocks, little cairns constructed carefully, often tediously, just to be different from its neighbour. And there are hundreds of them all scattered around the point. I realised that when people came to Skye, had travelled for hundreds of miles [...] -
Natural tones
No trickery here, just natural light on three landscape formations. Strangely, the trees in the foreground compliment the two notches in the hill tops. The image was taken on a walk passed a hamlet called Lealt, on the NE part of Skye, just a few miles from Staffin Bay. This was our third attempt at [...]
