Nature under the knife
Something different today. A dark still life dissection of mother nature. Click images & arrow keys to navigate. I’m becoming more interested in using visuals to say something. To give them a voice.

Spring outside a monumental little secret
Last year I wrote about how visiting The Church of Holy Rude in Stirling was surprising. While the car was being serviced I spent an hour wandering around the outside of the church.

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…
