Williamsville, New York
A suburb of Buffalo
Ellicott Creek descends nearly 50 ft as is passes through Williamsville; with a 27 ft section where Glen Falls tumbles over the Onondaga Escarpment. What was once a hotspot for water-powered mills and factories is now a chain of beautiful parks (and one golf course).

One from yesterdays wander around the slopes of Polldubh in Glen Nevis. It's a beautiful little glen with so much to offer once you see past the obvious shots.

A 5 Shot Pano that I never got round to processing at the time. I saw a deer on my drive home at lunch, which reminded me to take a look back at the Glen Etive shots, as we saw a tonne of deer that morning.
Another really hot day in the Highlands of Scotland with a gentle breeze that wasn't strong enough to keep the bl**dy Clegs (Horseflies) away.
This is a shot of Glen Cannich looking colourful basking in the sunshine.
If you are going to Rosslyn Chapel I hope that you have a great visit and if you have a chance do walk in the Roslin Glen. The Castle and the Chapel retain the older name of Rosslyn and the contemporary village has the newer name of Roslin.
If you are on the Western Bank of The North Esk river you can visit The Wallace Cave. There are several Wallace Caves in Scotland. There is only one Wallace Cave in Roslin Glen. There are also caves under Hawthronden Castle.
There is a legend of a Black Hen, don’t say Pullet, that is noted as confusing treasure seekers and grail hunters by digging holes to false terrain the site and to fill in half dug holes for when seekers return to complete their excavations and further still through special skill to carefully indicate the better and best grounds to explore through careful talon and beak soil manipulation. There are further tails of either this Black Hen, or of another such similar still don’t say Pullet, Black Hen, maybe there is just the one, or possibly there are a pair of magical soil shrouders at work? The other hen story relates to a treasure hidden under a stair. The exact stair can be correctly deduced in a manner not fully revealed within the story. Any stair testing and excavating can and will lead to the Black Hen II, this time the truth will not out*, moving the treasure when the excavators are in the right area and also the hen will bamboozle the grail hunters with special Holy Hen Acts that will confuse, strain, enrage and bring chaos to order and the ‘BH II’ wonder guard will clear up after the said chaos and restore all to proper order til the right, maybe even righteous, approach of the mythic legendary treasure grail hunter seekers who are destined to step on the right step at the right time in the right manner possibly with the left foot.
Please only read good humour and faithful following in my words above. I have followed signs to Rosslyn Chapel and parked when there were just a few spaces next to the old barn and byre. I have wandered in the beauty of the landscape and listened to the stories and here share some quickly to say that this is a place of beauty and of mystery, both of folly and of faith with a river bend bringing out rock inscribed from thousands of years ago to natural and extended caves, with castles and chapels, formerly and currently hosting services and battles til a part of the past seems to have been deeply woven here such that we choose to look at it again and again making pilgrimage and enacting rampage all engaged through marvellous mysteries and eldritch histories far beyond our fascination and into our fine fashioned fulgent fabricated fantasies.**
*Black Hen I also assured that the truth would not out, Black Hen II is not a fully fledged sequel as of course it could be one Hen, not a Pullet, successfully stealth working both grounds and stairs.
**Please do not test the Hen, or Hens, not Pullets, as you could be destroying a beautiful and historial protected place that is best left none Hen tested and none destroyed. Age, atmosphere and our antecedents have done more than enough destruction and also they had with them those that fought to give enough preservation and conservation too.

This tranquil part of the River South Esk in Glen Clova looks like it could be part of The Shire from Tolkien's books. We didn't spot any hobbits though!
This is Glen Orchy Kirk. The octagonal church building was built in 1811. It is protected as a Category A listed building, and is also notable for its burial ground and grave slabs.
