Stillness
Calm reflections, Craigellachie lochan, Aviemore There’s been a bit of a gap in the Inspirational Image since December. Partly down to the seemingly endless stormy weather – I haven’t been out at all with the camera in weeks – partly I’ve just had my head down! Its been unseasonally warm (I’m using warm here in […]
Myriads
Myriad Reflections, Craigellachie Lochan, Craigellachie National Nature Reserve, Aviemore The birch trees on the lochan’s edge were just coming into leaf. Although it was an overcast day the sun was showing enough to create a bright spot which combined with the size of the ripples to create this multitude of fragmented reflections. “He showed me […]
On the edge
Birch, Craigellachie Lochan, on the edge of sunset There has been some ferocious wind this last few days, but plenty of sun with it. I took this on friday at Craigellachie lochan, one of my favourite spots. The sun was setting behind the crags, putting the loch into shade, but leaving the trees brightly illuminated […]
Birch reflections and reeds
Birch reflections and reeds, Craigellachie, Aviemore A sunny morning at Craigellachie lochan, reflecting the last of the birch colour along with a patchwork of autumnal reed-leaves. I love the combination of the purple birch branches showing through as the orange fades. Its a shock every year how quickly we lose daylight once we’re into November […]
Birch sparkle
Birch sparkle, Craigellachie Lochan, Aviemore Bright sun sparkling on the reeds, as the shadow line from the sun setting behind the crag advances across the lochan. It was a perfect autumn afternoon with a shimmer of dragonflies playing above the reeds – after a very stormy week, with fresh snow visible on the hills. “Beginnings […]
Feshie Lochans
I hope you had as stunning a day as we did today – it felt like the first real summer day, given how its been for most of the last month and more. It was quite a novelty to feel the sun’s heat on my back! Maybe its the first day of an early ‘indian […]
Reflection in Blue
Reflection in blue – Craigellachie National Nature Reserve. A perfect blue sky reflecting in the lochan, with just a few floating leaves… and no wind! A few thoughts on Nature and appreciation this week… “Nature never did betray the Heart that loved her.” – Wordsworth. “Fresh beauty opens one’s eyes wherever it is really seen, […]
Autumn Birch Reflections
Autumn Birches – Craigellachie National Nature Reserve, Aviemore Some brief sunshine this morning at one of my favourite local spots, turning the autumnal birches to gold. Now? Rain is doing its thing once again. Changing the world… “We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make […]
4 Lochans reflections
September Reflections, 4 Lochans, Glenfeshie. The birches have really started to turn colour this week, with snow low down the hills as well for a day or two – brrrrr! “From the Hindu point of view each soul is divine. All religions are branches of one big tree. It doesn’t matter what you call Him […]
Reed Reflections
Reed Reflections, Craigellachie Lochan, Strathspey. Continuing with last week’s (this summer’s?) watery theme – reeds reflecting in a lochan, for a beautiful graphic effect. “A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from […]
