Lily loch reflections, late winter Its been grey and dismal all week, so here’s an image from last year. I love the rich colour reflections across the Lily Loch. “Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that, because what the world needs is […]
Birch Reed Reflections – Craigellachie National Nature Reserve, Aviemore I loved the effect of these reeds reflected against the golden birch backdrop. “The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense in which he has attained liberation from the self.” – Albert Einstein.
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 […]
A pine branch reflected in the still waters of Loch Garten, Strathspey. “And in the sweetness of friendship Let there be laughter and sharing of pleasures For in the dew of little things, The heart finds its morning and is refreshed.” – Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet Strong, supportive relationships are one of the best safeguards […]
Autumn or winter? Late autumn birch reflections with early snowfall, Craigellachie National Nature reserve, Aviemore. We had more rain and wind for most of the week, and then thursday dawned with blue skies, frost, and a surprise early snowfall. Back at one of my favourite photography spots, loving the multiple layers with the orange reflecting […]
Birch Reflections, Aviemore. After another changeable week, yesterday brought sunshine and white fluffy clouds, bringing out the vivid autumn colours. This is at one of my favourite places locally, the loch reflecting the crag in which it nestles. “If you want to cut directly through, don’t entertain doubts about Buddhas, or doubts about life and […]
Allt Mor Reflections, Glenmore – A favourite local spot, where trees overhang a still and reflective river. I don’t think I have managed to find it in such bright sunshine and fresh green, before now. This week – a summary of ten principles for Changing the World, derived from the words and works of Gandhi. […]
Reeds, Craigellachie Nature Reserve, Strathspey. You’ve probably noticed one or two images from the reed-lochan over the last few months – and here we are again, on a bitter morning (the loch is on the north side of a hill, in shadow by 11am at this time of year) with fresh ice and a freezing […]
Pine reflections, Loch Garten, Strathspey. A favourite local loch, with the ripples creating lots of movement in the low light. “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” – Albert Einstein. “The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.” – Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
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 […]
Loch Garten, Strathspey. A perfect morning at Loch Garten, with the water completely still for wonderful reflections. The inevitable thunderstorm broke just after we got home – what impeccable timing. “Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don’t live it, it won’t come out your horn.” – Charlie Parker.
Lochan Mor – The Lily Loch, Strathspey. Another week of heavy rain! This local loch is covered in lily pads in the summer, so they’re probably relishing the conditions. This week they are well into flower. On this morning it started fair, even the hills were visible, allowing me time to get home just before […]
