Balmerino Firth of Tay and Coultra Hill - August 2020

The shed on the right hand side perched on the rocks was a WW1 searchlight enclosure and is now a summer house

The name comes from the first essay in art of a young weaver named John Paterson, in 1851. He used to trudge out, of the long summer nights after the weary loom was at rest, and blocked out his conception of Bonivard the prisoner,

 

"In Chillon's dungeon deep and old."

 

...The relief has been surrounded very properly by an iron railing.'

David Forsyth came along, and led us all into a bit of rock scrambling.

(Memo to self: remember to bring ropes next time)

Cubby-holes for keeping things safe

Fife Coastal Path. Scotways Walk June 2013

David posing YET AGAIN, this time at Ravenscraig Castle.

The beach soon runs out, as the sign tells you. Of course it won't really stop anyone who has a boat or can swim but I can't do either so the beach really is the end of the line for me.

 

(Yes, I'm fully aware the dead end sign is for the street next to me so no-one needs to point that out thankyouverymuch).

Taken at Kingsbarns beach in Fife. This is part of the Fife Coastal Path but the beach has easy access for all.

One of a set of 6 photos at the same location using different lenses and filters to create slightly different images.

Looks like a castle, built in the 919th century to look like one. It is harled with a strong yellow lime wash.

The clever people will put it like this, "Early 19th century. 2-storey with dummy 3rd to Newburgh Road, asymmetrical harled frontage with slim circular towers with crenellated tops; trellis balcony at 1st. Rear to Castle Road single-storey (1st floor of Newburgh Road frontage) centre pedimented porch."

Has rained all weekend so decided to try my hand at some macro work. Shot in the kitchen using light from the window and some tin foil as a reflector. Shells were then placed on a box filled with sand.

It always amazes me how many trees it looks like there are in the east of Kirkcaldy / Dysart

Some more photos for the nice people Mags and I met on the Daffodil Walk at Dalgety Bay. Ann the horse-owner tells me that the horse on the left is called Sandy, whilst the horse on the right is called Odin and is the son of Kestrel (the horse that I picture Ann riding yesterday).

The mountains of Stuc a' Choirn and Ben Vorlich dominate the scene.
