In the harbour of Lerwick in the Shetland Islands I found this building interesting

The Park In the Evening
Taylor Creek Park (close to home in Toronto) is so lovely on an early summer evening 🙂

Blue Water
Remembering how blue the water was in the Shetlands

Early Evening Light
The Light in the Princes Street Garden at around 7 pm in June is lovely; the low angle of the sun makes for some great shadows!

View From the Balcony
I meant to post this image from our Scotland trip and didn’t get around to it until now. The sky cooperated on the morning I took this image of the Scottish coast!

Post 750: Thinking About Time
This post marks the 750th entry in my photography blog, and three-quarters of the way to one thousand has a nice, significant sounding number to it. While I on occasion may wistfully dream of more traffic to my blog, I immediately rebuke myself; it’s not the most important thing. It’s about creating a body of work that I can very occasionally feel proud of (although I’m always only one bad roll of film away from scorning myself as a photographer but that’s another issue.)
Today’s image was taken at the Ring of Brodgar, a stone circle located in the Orkney islands in Scotland. Older than Stonehenge, this place makes you think about time and permanence.

Interior Spaces
I love larger interior spaces, like these spaces in the art gallery we visited in Glasgow. all images taken with Voigtlander Bessa R Rangefinder, 15mm/4,5 Superwide Heliar lens.
Light and Shadow
The lower angle of the sun lent a certain starkness to the light and shadows of the streets of Edinburgh, and I like what it did to the architecture

Shores of Shetland
Back to the digital today, and another image where I created a faux-infrared effect in post, with Lightroom and Nik Efex.
Beach Furniture
I liked the look of what appeared to be a roughly made chair by the water’s edge; in the stark morning light it looked like a marker or monument of some kind.
