There are two lanes that lead up to this property, one leads up a pretty steep hill if you’re walking and the other is a little more bumpy and undulating but essentially without the steep hill. When we first drove to view the house, we soon realised we hadn’t taken the topography into account. I … More The Tree Line
I went out for my patch wander yesterday April 23rd, it wasn’t a great day but I like to get out for a walk at least once a day. It was one of those days when the sun shone it was quite warm, when it didn’t it felt freezing so, I eventually decided a t-shirt … More Not a great day of birding
We call it the Moon, it is of course, just A moon, it’s simply because we only have the one that we call it THE Moon. I’ve been taking advantage of this latest spate of clear evenings to get a few shots each day / evening / night, depending on circumstance, light etc. I popped … More Our Moon
We live in Central Scotland, well, East central Scotland I guess? Is it important? I think that in relation to the sky we look at then, yes, to an extent. If you are looking at my photographs and thinking of Scotland, where we are in relation to Aurora Borealis in the far North, then it … More Star Trails and Aurora
January 4th 2025 Another of those mornings, I’m up making the coffee and I can see this going on. Out into the lane in my dressing gown. Once you’re out, you have to make the most of it right? Mist rolling in made for great effects. It’s getting lighter, the mist is more pronounced. Bear … More A few January mornings
In my memory this year hasn’t been great so far for clear night skies, sunsets or sunrise, not to say there haven’t been any, of course there has it just feels like we had a lot of cloudy or rainy nights and mornings. That said, I grab the opportunities when I can 🙂 Not a … More Through January
I’m looking back at the images I have edited and those I have already shared, we’ve had a pretty good month so far as far as the sky goes, quite a few clear nights and mornings, which is always nice 🙂 That said, I’m in my wee den, looking out the window at a bird … More January Skies Pt. 2
January 18th 2025 I’m usually up pretty early, breakfast is my job and this morning when I looked out, there was a strange hue in the sky. Front and back I actually just got carried away in the edit on that second shot but liked it. The waning moon was just going down behind the … More One morning in January
So after that tremendous Aurora to end 2024 and start 2025 we’ve had mixed skies here but quite a few clear nights, which is great. I often set up a camera in our North facing window to capture a full night / morning of images and then examine them quickly the next day before deciding … More January Skies
Where we now live has almost 360 views, being on a hillock with dips to front and back, it has allowed me fantastic access to skies I may have previously missed and some natural events I most definitely would not see in our previous, limited urban skyscape. What that means is, I spend quite a … More Into a new year
