Taken inbetween sunbursts and heavy rain showers on the stunning Island of North Uist, at Lochmaddy. A real pleasure to be back here again, looking for different things to shoot, and this was pretty much an afterthought returning to the hotel, seeing the light plus contrasty rainclouds reflected in the water I couldn't resist this with the church lit up, lasted all of about a minute at most, we had seen about 15 rainbows and amazing cloud formations I wanted to shoot on the way up from Tarbert but couldn't stop so was really happy to grab something showing the unusual nature of the weather system here, never seen anywhere else in Scotland quite like it for unusual weather and odd cloud formations that take on shapes of their own minute by minute, a very special place.

I had a roll of expired Kodak GC400 film in my Ricoh Elnica for a few months and finally got it developed this week. This is about 20% of one negative: my wife reflected in a big puddle back in October.
These are photos taken on my trip to Europe and the UK with a girl friend in October to November 2012. My camera I had then wasn't good with low light so some of these shots are not great but I have put them as my memories of the trip.
Day in Oxford on a cold October day in 2012. We stayed here two nights.
Christ Church Cathedral.
The cathedral was originally the church of St Frideswide's Priory. The site was historically presumed to be the location of the nunnery founded by St Frideswide, the patron saint of Oxford, and the shrine now in the Latin Chapel, originally containing relics translated at the rebuilding in 1180, was the focus of pilgrimage from at least the 12th until the early 16th century.
In 1522, the priory was surrendered to Thomas Cardinal Wolsey, who had selected it as the site for his proposed college. However, in 1529 the foundation was taken over by Henry VIII. Work stopped, but in June 1532 the college was refounded by the King. In 1546, Henry VIII transferred to it the recently created See of Oxford from Osney. The cathedral has the name of Ecclesia Christi Cathedralis Oxoniensis, given to it by Henry VIII's foundation charter.
There has been a choir at the cathedral since 1526, when John Taverner was the organist and also master of the choristers. The statutes of Wolsey's original college, initially called “Cardinal College”, mentioned 16 choristers and 30 singing priests.
Christ Church Cathedral is one of the smallest cathedrals in the Church of England.
The nave, choir, main tower and transepts are late Norman. There are architectural features ranging from Norman to the Perpendicular style and a large rose window of the ten-part (i.e. botanical) type.

Oxford, a city in central southern England, revolves around its prestigious university, established in the 12th century. The architecture of its 38 colleges in the city’s medieval center led poet Matthew Arnold to nickname it the 'City of Dreaming Spires'. University College and Magdalen College are off the High Street, which runs from Carfax Tower (with city views) to the Botanic Garden on the River Cherwell.
Looking out over the estuary as low tide approached. The sunset was in the opposite direction,but a bank of low cloud over Tweedmouth reflected the display back wonderfully.

For me there's something very beautiful in people and moments like this.

There is no direct view of the sunset from Owen Beach. The westerly view is blocked by Point Defiance and rarely offers much color at sunset. This is the southeasterly view toward Mount Rainier. The moon and the mountain both reflect the sun's rays but each does so in its own way.

.... while I was enjoying the journey with my camera, I didn't notice until later that the tree on the right is reflected in the window on the left. .
