The Long and Winding Road

The Long and Winding Road

This is the view in the other direction from the last post. The road approaches on a very (very) winding route from the south (the direction of the photo) and, although you can't see it in the above picture, kinks back round to the right and passes by me around 200 feet away. It was quite the drive, with an amazing view at every turn.

Apologies for the irregularities in posting lately...work's been a bit busy so we'll probably be down to 1 or 2 pictures a week for a little while. Anyway, enough excuses...! Todays pic is of the view down to a lake on the Ring of Beara in South West Ireland. We were in the area for the weekend and drove over this winding pass on our way to the hotel. The views were spectacular so we absolutetly had to take some pictures. Enjoy!

Winter Sun Tree Shadow

Winter Sun Tree Shadow

It's exactly what it says on the tin. Christmas day, last year, and the sun is winter-low in the sky. It's 2pm and the shadows are already long, the light a golden glow through the skeletal trees onto the old heugenot house. Towards the bottom of the image you can see the curve of the church gate projected in some detail onto the building. Happy Monday, everybody...!

Memento Mort

Another shot from the Edinburgh Graveyard, this tombstone certainly caught my eye. The Burrying Place of J.A.Strachan, Tanner, was quite the sight. The only thing that annoys me about this shot is that the framing is off. Ah well, we don't mess around here, you get the good with the bad, warts an' all...!

Jersey Orchid

This is one of many orchid shots I took when we went to the Jersey Orchid centre last year. It's an amazing place, where they have such a huge range of Orchids that you can't quite believe there are so many varieties. This is but one.
