One morning in January

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

An Ardersier Morning

Well, I’ve said it a few times, the sunrise and / or sunsets around Ardersier can be absolutely stunning, I’ve felt overawed by some of the skies I’ve witnessed up there and this morning turned out to be a beauty. I set off for the fort as usual and parked up by the sports field … More An Ardersier Morning

I love the walk along … More Ardersier in January

I did get up three times over January but that doesn’t feel like often now. Also, it’s pretty quiet at that time of year; the light can be … More Backwater in January

January Skies

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

Into a new year

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
