I was planning on a Highland Fling for the Friday dance, but I can't get the full piece within the 60 frames I have for that, so thought they deserved a special lazy Thursday afternoon spot.
They are dancing on the Creag Dhubh viewpoint by Glen Coe.

I am really pleased with this photo. Straight off the camera and it looks SO WEIRD. So many questions. Why such a HUGE arched bridge over what appears to be such a small distance? Why only one solitary pedestrian using it? Where are they going? Where have they been?
I love it.
Just another quiet night over the bay (about 20 minutes real-time) 😎

Yawning.
They don't do a great deal during the day, at this time of the year, so seeing one do this, is a good thing.

I am one of very few female drystone wallers in Scotland & the world. Below are some things I've worked on. I am very often inspired by traditional drystone structures like planticrus and sheep stells and enjoy bringing their beauty and functionality into our modern lives.
For more nerdy stone stuff...
Wow, 2024 was quite a year! Here's a collage of my favourite photographs from all over the world. I was delighted to make images from several bucket list locations, experience awe inspiring conditions, and work on some deeply meaningful photographic projects (completing one and starting another!). This next year is set to be just as incredible, with multiple workshops and trips already scheduled. Bring on 2025!

As above, so below.
Very lucky to see this cloud inversion from above and then at ground level this afternoon.

Wishing everyone peaceful and happy holidays! Thank you so much for following along for what has been an incredible year (I'll reflect more on 2024 in another post). For now, here are 4 new winter images from Scotland's Ancient Caledonian Forest. Enjoy :)

Red Sky In The Morning
One of the things I love most about our house in #Fife is that my bedroom window faces south, and I get to see beauty like this some mornings when I open the curtains.
This is why I keep a camera upstairs - for the only thing that delays my vital first coffee!

Hi folks
Just joined today. I'm a retired Scottish gentleman interested in vintage buses and I hope to post some interesting facts as we go along.
I'm building a website using Hugo and I'm currently visiting transport museums and collecting photographs.

This one was hard.
I wrote about being the wrong kind of victim.
The kind who stayed. The kind who didn't call the police. The kind who texted three days after.
And yes, it might make you feel uncomfortable, but it's the experience of many, many victims. So important to understand.

Pleased to inform Fancy Duck is still in the area. Operation Get A Better Photo of Fancy Duck is GO GO GO!
It’s a year ago tonight that I was fortunate to witness one of the best displays of the Aurora Borealis that I have seen. The amazing thing is that this was mainly present in the southern sky with the whole southern arc lit up with the bold colours and easily visibly to the naked eye. Amazing stuff and a memorable night #Aurora #NorthernLights #Aberdeenshire #Scotland
57th: The Hanging Garden Ian Rankin’s outstanding 9th book in John Rebus series where grapples with the hit and run on his grown daughter, a cold case linked to a possible Nazi war criminal, and gang violence breaking out on Edinburgh’s streets. #books #crimefiction #Scotland
Just finished this 5-metre-long drystone seating area on the banks of a loch.
It stands about 1.5m tall and will hold a single piece of oak across the three protruding stones to form a bench.
The idea was to create something rooted in the land, not just placed on it. Sheltered, steady, and quietly purposeful. A place to pause and reflect.
Built by hand, no mortar, just time, attention, and stone. All materials sourced locally.
