In November I visited Harris and Lewis on a photography tour. They are part of the Outer Hebrides lying on the north west coast of Scotland. I had planned to travel the group of islands from Vatersay then through the Uists onto Harris and Lewis. However it became clear during planning how large these islands are. In the past I considered backpacking or cycling, but as summer melted into autumn then blown away by winter so I choose motorised transport.
Category: Landscape
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.
Gleneagles from Glen Eagles
One of Scotland’s top Hotels Gleneagles nestles at the foot of Glen Eagles on the eastern flank of the Ochil hills. (more…)
The Summer Performance
The great landscape photographer Ansel Adams said:
The negative is the equivalent of the composers score, and the print is the performance.
Spring from Gartmorn dam
Gartmorn dam was constructed in 1713 by Sir John Erskine (6th Earl of Mar) to power the pumps which drained his coal mines. It’s industry has given way to mother nature and become a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Particularly for migrating wildfowl, now Scotland’s oldest water reservoir. (more…)
Overlooking Stirling
A quick walk up the Ochils that overlook Stirling. Well worth the time spent to get there and rewards the mild effort with great views from the Forth bridges (soon to be a trio) in the east to Ben Lomond in the west. The Wallace Monument and Stirling Castle were built upon “crag and tails” for strategic reasons. (more…)
Isle of Cumbrae Part 3
Part 3 of photographs from Isle of Cumbrae. That’s it from Cumbrae for a while, many more photographs of the isle to come. (more…)
