Not the best quality, but it’s the best I could muster in a chaotic week. A quick roadside stop at my favourite lone tree in rural Aberdeenshire.

Thanks Sarah. One of the locations I return to regularly. Not sure I’ll ever get the perfect composition but the fun is in the journey of trying.

A dark staircase at Aberdeen Art Gallery taken with a slow shutter speed and camera movement to give it a blurred look. It has a recessed LED lit, copper bannister that glistens. Also shaft of light at the top from opening to the atrium.

Aberdeen Art Gallery staircase ICM is my #sharemondays2025 entry this week. Waited ages( about 3 minutes - no patience) for an interesting subject to no avail.

Lots of lovely mist in the last week provided different compositions on the usual dog walking routes.

A dark image of a foamy sea taken in a small coastal village in Aberdeenshire. It’s a colour image but it looks monochrome with high contrast between the dark sea and bright shimmer of light.

Light flickering off the foamy sea in Collieston harbour is my dark post storm Benjamin and dark Halloween image for #sharemondays2025

PS should probably have gone for one of the long exposures that were the real reason for the trip. 😉

We have Aussie tumbleweed hair balls throughout the house constantly, it’s a never ending job.

Thanks Sarah, he is a wonderful companion, but can be challenging at times.

A country lane in Aberdeenshire. It is lined with beech trees, with patches of other trees and hydrangeas providing further shade. The image was taken during storm Benjamin, with wet beech trunks dark against the still green canopy and brown and amber fallen leaves.

One of the country lanes from my daily walks with Murphy the Australian Shepherd.
