Coastal retreat. Tis so often true that the best days begin and end on the beach and with the company of family and loved ones those days can last a lifetime sewn deep into your heart........During these tough times with restrictions in place we each still have the power to dream and hopefully in time to be able to pursue our dreams. All it takes is a believe that they can come true and the strength and conviction to make them..A dream can make life worth living and our dreams are what can get us through even the worst of days.....

in my dreams

Thank you for viewing my images, Wishing you all a wonderful 2021... If you'd like to buy me a drink (and can afford to), please do! Here: www.buymeacoffee.com/tommcpherson

Field of oilseed rape at Duffus.....

Duffus Castle, near Elgin, Moray, Scotland, was a motte-and-bailey castle and was in use from c.1140 to 1705. During its occupation it underwent many alterations. The most fundamental was the destruction of the original wooden structure and its replacement with one of stone. At the time of its establishment, it was one of the most secure fortifications in Scotland. At the death of the 2nd Lord Duffus in 1705, the castle had become totally unsuitable as a dwelling and so was abandoned.

Spectacular clouds over Duffus Castle......

Mottes were common in Scotland the 1100s and 1200s, before they were replaced by stone castles. They were fortifications, usually consisting of a wooden keep on top of an artificial earthwork mound. Some also had an enclosed courtyard or bailey, containing additional wooden buildings, protected by a ditch and palisade.

Duffus Castle was a fortress–residence for more than 500 years, from the 1100s to the 1700s. The stone castle we see today was built in the 1300s, replacing an earlier timber fortress.

Once one of the strongest castles in Scotland, it was reduced to a decaying ruin by the time of its abandonment in 1705. But the castle remains an impressive sight, situated on a mound rising out of the flat Laich of Moray.

A breathtaking scene captured in the endless steppes of Kazakhstan: A massive herd of Saiga antelopes traverses the plains during the golden hour. The dust kicked up by their movement catches the glowing sunset, creating a mystical atmosphere. These critically endangered animals, known for their unique proboscis noses, are a powerful symbol of the untamed wilderness of Central Asia.

Ein spektakulärer Anblick aus der unendlichen Steppe Kasachstans: Eine gewaltige Herde von Saiga-Antilopen zieht im letzten Licht des Tages über die Ebenen. Der aufgewirbelte Staub fängt das warme Gold des Sonnenuntergangs ein und hüllt die Szenerie in eine fast unwirkliche Atmosphäre. Diese vom Aussterben bedrohten Tiere mit ihrer markanten Rüsselnase sind ein Symbol für die Wildheit Zentralasiens.

As the first golden light broke the silence, the boat floated gently across the calm river. Mist curled through the trees, and the world felt paused — suspended between night’s last breath and the promise of a new day. In that quiet moment, the river whispered stories only the morning could hear.

This is an enchanting, atmospheric shot that feels like a gateway into another world. The way the heavy stone arch frames the sun-dappled path ahead creates a beautiful sense of mystery and discovery. It’s a perfect example of nature reclaiming industrial history.

Walking through a doorway to the past. There is something so magical about these old railway bridges tucked away in the woods. One minute you’re in the shadows of the stone, and the next you’re stepping into a sun-drenched green tunnel. It feels like the start of a fairy tale adventure.

Shot on Sony RX0M2. I was pleasantly surprised, by this one inch sensor. very happy with results, and great colour science. I also held a Formatt Hitech Firecrest Polariser in front to help bring out the colours.
