This page is a listing of my Landscape photography as published on this site. They are views, feelings, atmospheres that felt worthy of a landscape photograph. They are not necessarily the best shots, but nice to cast an eye over or dwell upon.
Clackmannanshire’s bhanana fields
Note the silent “h’ in the title 😛 Rapeseed blooming early this year and is so tall I must fit a bell to the dog because she gets lost. Again the iphone shines as a grab shot camera. Lovely splash of colour in the rolling countryside now winter is gone.

Storm brewing over Stirling

With Autumn approaching the first storm over Central Scotland terrified children and pets alike. My youngest son decided he is no longer scared of storms so off to Poppy’s Hill we went to Storm watch. Missed the light and sound show, but grabbed some iPhone shots of the dramatic cloud rolling in over the Ochils.
Clackmannanshire Bridge, wherefor art thou earlier?
The Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation have given the new Clackmannanshire Bridge a “Highly Commended” in their annual awards. A perfect excuse to add my own gratitude to its existence, albeit late. I spent sixteen years travelling between Clackmannanshire and the Lothians in an earlier career. Each morning’s commute had a ten minute queue to negotiate Kincardine Village then cross the Forth and on to the M9. The return journey was similarly corrosive of productive time. Tapping the steering wheel for thirty minutes and more on a Friday. Adding-up this unproductive sinkhole reveals a total of thirty one days lasting twenty-four hours, spent waiting to cross the Forth. Can you believe that ?
So any credit paid to this new bridge, its Architects, Construction teams, Planners etc is deserved. If it was completed sixteen years ago I could have walked the West Highland Way, painted the Himalaya in oils and still had time to build my sons a treehouse using fine-sanded matchsticks ! This photograph was taken shortly after the bridge opened in February 2009.
Dollar Glen in Autumn
It was a beautiful autumn day, sun still warming, leaves falling and Poppy (my trusty hound) was itching for a dook in the stream.
Andy Scott Stride
Andy Scott Stride is a partner piece to River Spirit. ‘Stride’ is a man in motion rising from the earth and faces north towards Ochil hills. Where River Spirit is to water, he is to earth and sky. Stride is a hugely dynamic creation suggesting motion, flight and nature (trees in hands) which is an interesting contradiction given its metal construction.
Birds, trees, people
