A stitched, panoramic, long exposure, landscape image of Bow Fiddle Rock near Portknockie in Morayshire, Scotland.
I have taken many images of Bow Fiddle but for some time now, I have been meaning to do a panorama of the Bow. All too often, the average image of it does not convey the size of the rock sufficiently. A wide angle lens gets the whole scene but always makes it too small in the image. This image was to finally address this so it could be seen for the size it actually is. Glad I finally did it. :-)
This stunningly beautiful lake, with terrific colour, is easily seen from the Icefields Parkway, in Alberta. We drove down to the Num Ti Jah Lodge, from where we were able to walk along the shore of the lake to explore the area. The water in the lake is really clear and very peaceful. It was glorious, very peaceful and thoroughly enjoyable.
Thanks for your visits and comments. As always, appreciated very much!

a few days after I had perfect conditionsI was looking for the darker sky but the clouds had other plans. The South view "right"with Saturn and the core of the Milky Way and the North view "left" still in twilight. The centre light pollution is Calgary due east. Antares in Scorpio is on the peak and Saturn is directly above
Bow Lake is located on the Bow River, in the Canadian Rockies. Bow Lake was one of the stops during driving on the Icefields Parkway. It was a cloudy morning, I was amazed by the magnificent peaks and reflections on the lake. The view is stunning. Spending some time walking around the lake, the sceneries of Canadian Rockies are out of this world.
On my little road trip around Scotland I was really taken by Bow Fiddle and was really keen to capture the sunrise behind it.
Patience was needed as the first two mornings where raining but on the third eventually the sun appeared from behind the clouds!
The classic POV from down at sea level with the rocks appearing as the tide went out.
As we sailed the tall ship St. Lawrence II across Lake Ontario, I couldn't resist crawling into the 'man-catcher' net under the bowsprit when I was not on watch. This may be one of the most peaceful places on earth! You are rocked to sleep by the motion of the ship and the sound of the water separating at the bow. It's not a good place to be in a storm however!

Bow down, bitches
Let me see you get low
I said, "Bow down, bitches"
See the queen on her throne
We're the ones you can't deny
We're beautiful on our own
So damn good at being bad
Yeah, baby, we lost our soul
I just returned from western Canada and took this from the Little Beehive summit. The sun peaked out for a few minutes to light the valley before disappearing for most of the day. There was a nice dusting of snow and the Larch trees were a wonderful gold.

Looking north at the pretty blue waters of this major river at Lake Louise Jct. Gotta love glacial runoff, may it forever flow, but not too fast...
Thanks for taking a look! Always appreciated.
Deep in County Durham, overlooking the undulating hills of Cumbria and North Yorkshire sits a large and imposing French chateau. With its pale, golden stone and deep lead roof it looks as if it has been lifted by a giant hand from the Tuileries in Paris and set down in an alien landscape. It is the result of a love story and a passion for collecting that bordered on obsession.
The man who gave his name to the treasure house within the distinctively French exterior is John Bowes, a wealthy Durham landowner, horse breeder and coal magnate who never threw off the taint of his illegitimacy. In 1848 he moved to Paris where he bought a theatre and met the woman who was to be the love of his life, an actress called Josephine Chevalier. Bowes rescued her from a life treading the boards, which is perhaps just as well; one waspish critic described her as having, ‘an impossible voice, impossible figure and ... sings down her nose.”
She shared with Bowes his love of fine art and collecting; together they dreamt up the idea of creating a museum at Barnard Castle in his native Teesdale. And that is what makes the place so unusual. It’s not a former stately home that has been adapted to display the possessions of an aristocratic family no longer able to afford the inheritance tax. It is purpose built to house a collection that was amassed with one idea in mind: to create a place where the local people of County Durham could come to marvel at some of the world’s finest treasures.
