The remains of the day
Loch Morlich and the Cairngorms. A Mix of Graffiti and nature. The remains of the foolhardy and adventurers leave their echings behind under the oncoming nightfall.

Rock Steady
Loch Garten. This is image number one for 2020. As I attempt to capture something interesting each and every day of the year. That`s 366 days this leap year. Not all will be showcased here but there should be a much larger folio. Last time I did this was in 2013 while building the 1896 Gallery. A necessary distraction and it is an excellent way to refine your photographic skills. It gets you out of your comfort zone. There will be days when its seems almost impossible to find something to shoot. But,thats the challenge!

History and Maic
Ruthven Barracks by Kingussie, Badenoch. Snow blasting from the west and the onset of night. A long focal length and a bust of flash to highlight some snowflakes. A more abstract, magical feel. A shortlisted image in the national Landscape photographer of the year.

Winter Solstice
Loch Pityoulish. A peaceful morning. Not long after 11 am. Not long after sun up in mid winter in Highland Scotland.

Wind carvings
It`s not every day you get cloud free mountains in the Cairngorms. Okay, so it`s more challenging if it`s cloudy and breezy, but us photographers and outdoor types want to see where we are going and enjoy the views. Nowhere finer than Bynack More on a Sunny Sunday. A winter playground. At almost 1100 metres great views were all around including this image looking south to the Barns of Bynack and beyond through the Lairig and Laoigh pass. With the soul happily filled the 8 miles through soft snow, back to the car was pretty painless.
