Dreams of a Loch

If you’ve looked at the posts of my images, you may realise that I don’t travel too much. Reasons for that are too complicated to go into, but you will see that nearly all my images have been taken close to home in the south west of Scotland.

Express your Feelings

I’ve put together this post in response to a challenge set by a horse. What!!!!

The subject of the challenge is Communication. What does “communication” mean to me? — so many many things – and we’re all on communication overload at the moment, except for one thing.

Those True Eyes

I find it hard to believe those eyes are real. This image, I admit, is taken of a captive bird – a trained bird – one which probably could no longer survive if it were freed into nature. It’s looked after and fed well.

Startling Symmetry

The search for symmetry, and the emotional pleasure we derive when we find it, must help us make sense of the the seasons and the reliability of friendships.
Alan Lightman

In taking photographs, I more commonly seek to change out of a symmetrical view. I try mostly to get an angle on the subject and to achieve some flow through or around the image.

Negative Space – a challenge

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge 114

Reacting to Amy’s Photo Challenge, I initially found myself a bit lost – Negative Space??? I do have a tendency to fill the frame, but nevertheless had a look through my back catalogue for images with negative space.

Two Views of a Ruin

A still evening and the sun is thinking of going down. Just a slight pink tinge to the far sky. It’s an ancient castle or rather the remains of a 16th century tower house built on the cliff at Greenan, near Ayr – and a scene of inter-clan fighting around 1600 AD.

Street Art

Photography in Streets

In recent year’s I’ve just thought of street art as 3D murals on the sides of buildings but SandyL’s Friendly Friday Challenge reminded me there are many different types of art around in our streets. Mostly my mindset came from a tour of Glasgow’s building murals we did a couple of years ago. Those murals are fantastic, and I’ve got some of them here in this post.

The featured image (above) was taken in Kilmarnock and it’s one of two two foot high statutes of swimmers appearing up out of the cobbled main street exactly where the river passes underground across the town centre.

Monochrome Monday

Mothers will always love and care for their kids, but every now and then the young ones might need a little push.
