Sorting through the photos taken over the last couple of weeks. Found a last wee collection to share from the trip where we met the Mighty Borb. I am very fond of the reflections in the water.
Went for a walk round the river by Pitlochry Dam last week. It was just after a week long rainfall, and the waters were big and noisy and very impressive. Have been there many times, but I don't think I'd seen the river so turbulent before.The noise was incredible as you walked over the dam. Lots of people transfixed by it all.
Day 4 of #PhotOctober2023 and the prompts are flat and round and empty.
This is a flat, circular viewpoint on the peak of a hill at Duke's Pass in the Trossachs. We were fortunate to have it to ourselves; full of trees and lochs and mountains, but very empty of people.
This captures a moment just before I learnt something important.
I learnt that a 360 camera is NOT a good choice for capturing the glorious sight of a rainbow at sea. It's there, if you look really closely, but.... aye...
Nice planet sphere though, and an excellent foghorn.
On our recent travels we visited a lighthouse. I LOVE lighthouses. They're always in these amazing spots, and the buildings sit so pleasingly in the landscape. And they help stop boats crashing into rocks too, obvs.
I sit on the walls, look out to sea, and imagine what it would be like to be a lighthouse keeper.
Been sorting through & playing with 360 photos again (only 2 folders left to sort, down from around 15 - woo hoo!) and this wee person appeared in one of the Wallace Monument shots.
I mean, look - big tree hair, stylish stone outfit - it's not just a face this time, it's a whole person!
I am finding the Wallace Monument as small planet very appealing, and very Scottish.
I mean, I know the flag is there which obviously shouts SCOTLAND, but it's the building. I think sometimes the mountains and lochs (and Highland cows) overpower the imagery when someone says Scotland, but this building is perfect in this squat, warped form.
I might be stretching it a little, as I'm fairly confident this wasn't human-placed, but I'm sure humans would have revered the stone and its location nonetheless. I did. It was a cracking spot.
This is the St Nicholas Chapel in St Ives. It sits on top of a hill surrounded on three sides by the sea and looks over the town, its beaches and harbour.
And so it begins... the first quick "ooh I like that" from the trip photos. A tiny planet made on the path between St Ives and Carbis bay, in Cornwall.
