Memories of summer. The tip of the bees wing, the wonderful light of this geranium and the bokeh make this an image that is full of promise. An image that I was drawn to today, the day when we enter yet another period of lockdown.
Visite apaisante d'un beau manoir oublié depuis une quinzaine d'années.
*************************************
Soothing visit to a beautiful mansion that has been forgotten for fifteen years.
Part of my 'Duffus Castle through the seasons' project.
The castle is situated on the Laich of Moray, a fertile plain that was once the swampy foreshore of Spynie Loch. This was originally a more defensive position than it appears today, long after the loch was drained.
The motte is a huge man-made mound, with steep sides and a wide ditch separating it from the bailey. The whole site is enclosed by a water-filled ditch, which is more a mark of its boundary than it is a serious defensive measure.
Duffus Castle was built by a Flemish man named Freskin, who came to Scotland in the first half of the 1100s. After an uprising by the ‘men of Moray’ against David I in 1130, the king sent Freskin north as a representative of royal authority.
He was given the estate of Duffus, and here he built an earthwork-and-timber castle. Freskin’s son William adopted the title of ‘de Moravia’ – of Moray. By 1200, the family had become the most influential noble family in northern Scotland, giving rise to the earls of Sutherland and Clan Murray.
In about 1270, the castle passed to Sir Reginald Cheyne the Elder, Lord of Inverugie. He probably built the square stone keep on top of the motte, and the curtain wall encircling the bailey. In 1305, the invading King Edward I of England gave him a grant of 200 oaks from the royal forests of Darnaway and Longmorn, which were probably used for the castle’s floors and roofs.
Dix ans d’attente avant de pouvoir enfin faire une visite fort... désagréable !
*************************************
Ten years of waiting before I can finally make a very... unpleasant visit !
This small lake lies just beyond Baisse du Basto, in the heart of the Mercantour National Park. Surrounded by jagged rocks and patches of alpine grass, the lake reflects the cloudy sky above, creating a calm and mysterious atmosphere. The rugged terrain and quiet water give the scene a wild, untouched feeling—perfect for hikers seeking solitude and raw beauty in the high mountains.
As the world slumbers in darkness, I set out to create a nocturnal photo, weaving luminescent trails with my trusty eBay LED quality light. With each carefully choreographed movement, a captivating signature emerges, illuminating the night with an ethereal glow. The long exposure captures the dance of light and darkness, crafting a mesmerizing painting that seems to defy the limits of time. Behold the magic of light painting, an art form that embraces the darkness to reveal its own signature of brilliance.
If you cannot understand what in the world is in the background or generally in this image, to put you into the perspective, on the left bottom part of the photo, you can see a Dalmatian boat moored to a cement dock.
Location: Seget Vranjica, Dalmatia
Peace.
