Light in the Strath Dulnain woods, Black & White quadtone I do like playing with the dreamy tones you can get in Black & White 🙂 Evening light coming low through the woods with added emphasis from the dramatic shape of the high wispy cloud. The woods here are a surviving fragment of our original native […]
Rock outcrops and distant Argyll landscape, Sound of Luing, West Coast of Scotland I find it bizarre that, as snow covers the UK, here in my part of the Highlands there is hardly any, just an occasional snowflake – although it has been bitterly cold. As an alternative to this week’s big freeze, here’s an […]
Brooding clouds and reflections, Loch an Eilein, Rothiemurchus. Black and white, quadtoned. Its been a good week with some lovely spring moments. This was taken on a bike ride around Loch an Eilein one late afternoon. I was hoping that the sun would burst through the dark clouds for some contrast, but it didn’t happen […]
Findhorn Beach, toned black-and-white A photo from the summer, and another experiment in black-and-white toning. I love how it brings out the clouds above the sweep of the beach. This week’s quote – don’t worry about how things seem! “What we’re beginning to learn is that we are cells in a larger organism. At this […]
Snow covered Birch trees on the banks of the River Spey I thought we’d shift to Black and White for a change, with another image from last January’s amazing depth of snow and deep frost. You can probably tell by now that I love the grace of the Birch! I appreciated this week’s quote as […]
Wherever you go, the birch wood has been resounding to a drrrrrrrrp! of woodpeckers. The Jackdaws have been flocking around the village in huge numbers for much of the night with their chatter-jack-jack. The low-ground snow went into meltdown this week, and a few wretched-looking plants are starting so show through. I hope I have […]
Sparkly woods, Craigellachie National Nature Reserve, Strathspey. I really like the dreamlike nature of this image in Black & White. Today its raining, persistently, mist hanging around the trees. This is from a few days back with the world seeming so fresh and clear in bright sunshine and a gentle breeze. “… healing has only […]
March snow, Monadliath mountains, Scotland. We had fantastic skiing this week, with the first “proper” snowfall of the winter. Within the week its gone and we have the first days of beautiful spring sunshine. “Are you searching for your soul? Then come out of your prison. Leave the stream and join the river that flows […]
