Now that’s advertising
Walking through the Meadows in central Edinburgh I found that the council had a brainstorm. Why not get businesses to pay money to have their details printed onto the golf tees? Cracking idea, except you only get to see the tees when you play AND when there’s no snow! By the way, the dog paw is [...] -
The Three Peaks finally done!
It took a while but I finally managed to climb all three of the mainland summits – Scafell, Ben Nevis and Snowdon (in that order). I would need to get a calculator out to approximate the number of days it took, but who cares. Anyhow, climbing Snowdon (Yr Widdfa) was relatively easy and could have [...] -
Over the sea to Skye
Alfredo was like a child in a candy shop. He had arrived at his all time favourite castle and the sun was out, the sky was blue and it wasn’t raining. He was in heaven. All he had to do was get all of the castle into his Canon camera! Meanwhile, the other tourists were doing [...] -
How windy can it get?
Sandra & Alfredo decided that the wee pimple that is Arthur’s Seat would be fine to walk up one evening. Thing is they didn’t reckon on the wee breeze from Scandinavia which was cold and very, very strong. Sandra had all three ‘vestitos’ on, plus a fleece and wind jacket and still couldn’t believe this was [...] -
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 [...] -
Kinleith Mill
Just two weeks ago this was the scene not far from where I live. This week the snow has gone, the birds are back and so are over twenty caravans, cars, 4×4s, white vans and lots and lots of travellers. They broke through two gates and now have established a camp in the former industrial [...] -
Magalluf
Sometimes you take a photograph and it just works on so many levels. It was Easter, just before the hordes from the mainland arrived and this was the site that greeted us after breakfast. Absolute peace with not a body in sight. Just think a week later you wouldn’t be able to see the sand. [...]
