Elk Bull, Banff

Bull Elk, Banff

Bull Elk at sunset, Banff, Canada No, I am not away!  Every so often I fancy an image scanned from the archives – in this case from a trip to Western Canada 24 (!) years ago. I was walking back to my campsite in the evening when a group of Elk started to cross the […]

Misty sunset on cairngorm

Misty Cairngorm Sunset

Sunset Mist, Cairngorm First of all, a big welcome to this week’s new subscribers.  I have received such lovely feedback about the vibrational energy carried through these images. Here’s another image from last week’s amazing misty sunset, looking across the lower slopes of the Cairngorms, with the hill of Silvermount to the left, and the […]

Fiery sunset mist, caledonian forest, Rothiemurchus

Fiery Mist

Fiery mist in the Caledonian Forest, Rothiemurchus Our three weeks of heatwave summer came crashing to an end on saturday with some close-up thunder, lightning and torrential rain.  However, shortly before sunset the sun reappeared, and the forest started steaming after all the rain.  I spent a breathless ten minutes jumping through the heathery bog […]

Golden Mist

Golden mist, Linn of White Cart, Glasgow A suitably wintry image after this week’s frost and ice.  The last rays of the afternoon sun shining through the mist rising from the cascade, giving  a glowing golden effect above the water. “When you don’t play roles, it means there is no self (ego) in what you […]

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 […]

Hazy ridges

Evening light across the Monadliath mountains, from Tullochgrue, Aviemore I love the ‘distant hazy ridges’ effect here, looking over the early spring woods, from Tullochgrue hill, as the sun sinks behind the Monadliath.  On days like this I am constantly reminded to be grateful for the wonderful country we live in, in fact for the […]

Loch an Eilein reflections

Sunset reflections, Loch an Eilein After three weeks of rain ( spiced with sleet and hail showers just for variety) the clouds cleared for a weeekend of fabulous blue skies  revealing the shining snow covered hills – gleaming whiter than a toothpaste advert.  The air was simultaneously burning and freezing, decidely ‘baltic’ at times!  After […]

Sunset over Mull

Sunset over the headlands of Mull. Scotland can be one of the most amazingly beautiful places on Earth.  When we get day after day of deep blue skies and perfect sunshine (albeit with a chilly sea breeze at times) for several days in a row, its almost unheard of and worth writing home about, especially […]

sunset pines

Snowy pines at sunset Its been a lovely warm weekend, definitely feeling on the edge of spring with crocuses and snowdrops out in the garden.  However, here’s another one from last weekend’s walk in the forest.  This is taken at sunset, as the suns rays were directly horizontal onto the tree trunks, coming from the […]

In the woods

Rothiemurchus woods, evening light Just before sunset in the Rothiemurchus pine woods, in the background is a small loch filling a deep hollow, full of reeds. I loved the intense colours with the low sun. This week’s quote basically says that caring for our planet is caring for ourselves – a message which is at […]

Sunset Lilies

Sunset reflections, the ‘lily loch’. After a heavy downpour, the sun came out for a half hour fling before sunset.  I just had time to get to this local loch to catch the reflections of the sunset clouds through the lilies.  The water was completely still until a (Mrs Mallard) duck took off in alarm, […]

Red rocks sunset

Sunset on the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona Yes, I have been somewhere for the last two weeks… and currently rather jetlagged!  I’ll write more on my week of meditation with Drunvalo later after I have digested more of the experience.  For now  its all about moving your  conciousness from the brain, which sees everything […]
