When walking west of Beauly it’s hard to avoid the power lines and pylons. Sometimes it’s easier to make photographic obstacles the subject.

This is what it looks like when you look up.

Aged about thirteen, we used to go on camping expeditions to this little abandoned cottage. Found it more eerie going alone today than I did then.

Used the fisheye for this one, then corrected for the bulge in Photoshop. There was a tree in the way so I had to take it quite close up.

I’ve got a bit of a thing for roads and paths trailing off-screen. This was a new walk along the river west of Beauly today. This small road was a solid sheet of ice on the way out but almost completely thawed by the way back.

This track is just west of Spital Wood. I’ve walked past the end of it hundreds of times with the dog - we’ve been going that way for years - but have never actually gone down it. It doesn’t really go anywhere other than to this little abandoned cottage (see next post)

Sunsets/Sunrises come and go so fast. I missed some wonderful red sky trying to get to the right spot yesterday morning so I was pleased to catch this nice evening sun before heading back down to the big smog tonight.

Prior to the haunted camping trips, we used to cycle our bikes down through the wood to this other abandoned house. It’s in far better condition & seems a shame no one’s managed to take it on.

Leaving all this behind tonight. Back to London on the sleeper and back to work tomorrow morning. Already planning my next Scotland trips; I’ll miss it.
