Rowan Tree & Cleat, The Quiraing
Yes I know this iconic Rowan tree has been shot to death but I really don't care!
I shot it in 2022 see www.flickr.com/photos/184798091@N07/52053385765/in/album-... but this time I had in mind a couple of slight variations. These involved getting lower in the gulley which closes off some of the rock face on the right but gives you the opportunity to make the tree more prominent.
I'm still not sure I've found my ideal composition here but this one (and a portrait one I'll post soon) did give me shots I didn't have before. This image is the result of 6 sets of 3 bracketed/focus stacked images. The sunrise was fairly dull and unfortunately the snow from earlier in the week had mostly been washed away by rain but whilst I was taking this set the eastern face of Cleat started to catch some soft light which I liked.
Thanks for taking the time to view and hope you all have nice weekends.

Sailing boat, Marina Cannes, French Riviera, France.
A boat is a sailboat (pieces of fabric), propelled by the wind. Historically, the boat was the first conveyance medium and long distance. Sailboats carrying goods, passengers, mail. They were used for fishing at sea, military and naval battles.
From the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century sailing propulsion gradually disappears for utility transport replaced by steamships and motor boats. Today, utility transport and fishing boats remain only in the less industrially developed countries.
The yachts are used for recreational purposes: competitive sailing and boating.
A cleat for tying up boats to a floating boat ramp in Snowden Beach, Largs North. Not sure what the string is doing there, as it is doesn't seem to be attached to anything.
After a fascinating exploration and sunrise shoot up at the Needle on Quiraing I made my way back along this enchanting escarpment with this wonderful vista of the arching Cnoc a Mheirlich in the foreground with Cleat and Dun Dubh in the distance beyond the waters of Loch Leum na Luirginn and Loch Cleat.
The light was fabulous on this breezy fresh November morning at the tip of the Trotternish Peninsula of Skye.
The hill: Cleat is bordered by Loch Cleat. The Quiraing, part of the Trotternish Ridge on the Isle of Skye, Scotland
The peak standing by itself is Cleat, part of the Trotternish, with Loch Cleat at its foot. I was at the pass looking away from The Quiraing when I took this photo.

M is for Minimalism- 2022 Alphabet Challenge
OK so this might not be a true minialistic image ... but ... all it is, is a cleat on a pontoon with some water, so not much there, but there are loads of textures, which could be it's downfall, but it'll do :)
One of the hundreds of Cleats on St Kilda in which the inhabitants used to store their supplies of dried guga (Salted and dried Gannet chicks).
With Loch Cleat, bottom left... this landscape always looks prehistoric to me...just needs a dinosaur....one of my favourite places. Cleat is the lump foreground centre, and Beinn Edra is behind it just to the right.
Another from my wonder around South Queensferry. I love photographing commonly photographed things in a slightly different way so enjoyed how this old mooring cleat worked against the bridge and sky background.
