Hawkcraig Pier is a relic from the days when the coast of Fife was littered with military defence installations. This was one of the landing points for passengers and supplies for the nearby WW 1 research facility. Almost everything else was dismantled when the military moved out but this pier has been around slowly disintegrating over the decades.
I had hoped to catch the sun popping up just at the end of the pier on this morning shoot but I was tricked by the distant hill (Berwick Law) which hid the point of sunrise until it was too late to change position. I’ve tried to make the most of the resultant shot by trying to create a balanced image across the frame but that meant bringing the rig into frame. I’m not convinced that rigs make all that an interesting subject but when you live in Scotland it appears at times you can’t look at the coastline without seeing at least one.
This Confederate reenactor was quite a skilled fife player. He was playing along with a drummer (a Union reenactor, interestingly) during the recent Civil War Days at Detroit's Historic Fort Wayne.

Flickr friends, my Internet has been down since yesterday afternoon and just came back, so I'm late posting and a bit behind on comments. Will be catching up soon.
The new owners bought various old vintage tractors & other old transport to the Scottish Deer Centre as a photo opportunity for young and old very popular.
A little splash of color on Fife Lake.
The train comes through everyday and I remember during summer days at the lake waving to the conductor with so much glee. I guess I was easily entertained back then. :)

The picturesque village of Culross sits on the Firth of Forth, and is believed to have been founded by Saint Serf in the 6th Century. It has been used as a filming location several times, most recently for the TV series Outlander.
Last fling with the camera before it goes in for repair. With autofocus not working, these aren't as sharp as I'd like
This is the lighthouse in Fife that overlooks the village of Elie.
I was lucky to capture some stormy clouds coming across. This shot pretty much sums up our Summer in Scotland this year as it has been very unsettled and cool with the odd bright spell.
