A gorgeous photo Lorraine, can almost taste the salty air

A great read Ben, always wonderful to hear that noise bouncing around the hills, especially in the mist.

Just published 🙂 I've been wanting to write about the rut for years but never had the piccies to back it up till last autum 🦌. It certainly helps when it's happening right outside your house.

thanks Justin, it was a lovely way to start the day :)

Low mist over a Scottish loch, with the rising sun hitting the mountains in the distance

I just love Autumn, especially the misty early morning starts

and they can be dangerous when things go wrong

Looks serene Peter, you not tempted by a wee yacht yourself ?

wow, unexpected item in baggage area

Sounds great Ben, bring on Autumn.
Less midges and less rental camper/motorhomes too :)

An almost full moon, rising above three islands on the horizon.

After last nights cloudy moonrise, it was nice to see the moon lift off above The Bass Rock tonight, with Lamb Island and Fidra joining in the almost full moon party.

A trip to Penny Hedge, Blairgowrie If you want to get up close to squirrels and small birds, then I can definitely recommend a trip to Pennyhedge near Blairgowrie. It's a great place to test the different focussing methods with your ca...

Red Arrows over Edinburgh I was going to go into the Murrayfield area to try and catch the Red Arrows flying over Edinburgh city centre, but gave it a body swerve as the Oasis gig would be keeping it busy around Murrayfield. I...

lovely patterns on it

I get the opposite experience in Germany, fantastic there.

Aweful service you got there.
I had a bad experince on my last trip to Birmingham down the West coast on LNER, it stopped at Carlisle, power line issues, had to get a train to Newcastle to New Street and had to stay overnight as a result.
Broken Britain :(

The loud screeching train noise and smoke from diesel trains is rather nasty at the bottom of new street.
Hope the services ran ok.

thanks for highlighting that, I will stop using it now. You get nowt for nowt thesedays.

A partially covered full moon over Edinburgh city centre centre, with silhouettes and reflections of small yachts on the water.

Did you catch last nights full moon ?

The skies were mostly clear and it was quite warm for a wee change.

Drum and Bass rock ;)

The young uns today are snowflakes, should be feeding themselves by now :)

An interesting read Grant, thanks for sharing your insights into Orkney. It has a totally different vibe to Shetland.

I was surprised how many cows/sheep and hay bales there were around the place.

It was brutal when we were there, so we didn't manage to get to Hoy, but Yesnaby was excellent.

Moody Scottish clouds over the partially collapsed rocky hills

During a brief visit to the Isle of Skye on Wednesday, the light was really nice for a few mins over Cleat (1100 feet), which is a neighbour of The Quiraing.
I managed to get this shot before the dark clouds in the background came over and it started raining. #scotland #landscapephotography

Sunest over some rocky mountains next to a loch, in Scotland

A hazy #summer #solstice #sunset over Stac Pollaidh late last night.
The midges were out in force and I'm suffering a fair few itches now.

A late sunset over the silhouettes of the abbey and other spires in Dunfermline

A hot #summer night #sunset over Dunfermline Abbey and silhouettes of the city last night, before today's solstice comes along.

cheers George, it was a bit hazy, but I’ll take that over clouds anyday :)

An orange full moon in the haze, as it rises above the horizon and Edinburgh city centre

Last nights full moon, rising above #Edinburgh, as viewed from the #Fife side #fullmoon

Nice one fella, it sure was a bit hazy on the horizon last night.
