Golden Harvest. Broke its mooring and drifted to this part where she's been sitting for a few years now near the village of Corpach Fort William. Ben Nevis is in the background.
After July the sun disappears behind the cliff leaving the village in the shadow of the cliffs but with an amazing display of colour all around.
Newark Castle is a ruin located just west of St Monans, on the east coast of Fife, Scotland. The building stands in a dramatic location, overlooking the North Sea. The upper storeys are ruinous, but vaulted cellars survive, hidden from view.

Another antler trophy captured at Glamis Castle. The lighting was great and I loved the shadow being cast along the stone wall, so had to capture it!
My Love of Assynt
In Assynt’s magnificence winter lies,
in sheets of white on hill and stone.
Snow crowns the peaks beneath dark skies,
a world that time has never known.
Rugged mountains stand stark and still,
their edges cut in frost and bone.
The wind runs free by its own will,
through land that stands forever lone.
Snowdrifts rest in valleys deep,
soft on rock yet fierce and free.
The land speaks truths it does not keep,
in cold and clear austerity.
Oh how I love the truth I see,
in winter’s calm, untamed melee.
The wild the white the land made free,
in Assynt’s ancient solemn gift to thee.
Keep safe keep well and most importantly
keep on being you. Huge hug JC
Healing ways.
When grey clouds hang and darkness weighs,
and heavy thoughts obscure the days.
My spirit stumbles, falters, lost in haze,
yet still I reach through nature’s maze.
I rise from bed, lift camera, step outside,
where mountains stand in morning pride.
Where rivers rush and cool winds play,
as healing sunlight spills to start the day.
Each frame I seek, each fleeting view I find,
chases those crippling shadows from my mind.
Through lens and glass where colours gleam,
capturing love through my eye rekindle my dream.
Be it those fiery autumn leaves or sea-swept spray,
or the amazing golden hours of a new-born day.
All frozen still momentarily in focus pure and real,
and a true testament to nature’s steady heal.
So when your heart feels dark and low like me,
let nature’s light within you warm and glow.
Go hear gentle waves lap on that sandy shore,
their timeless rhythm easing hurt once more.
Through every single frame I take upload and share,
I softly whisper “Natures healing waits you there”
Let sunlight, wind, and water mend and care,
and feel your spirit lift in nature’s air.
Keep safe keep well and most importantly
keep on being you. Huge hug to one and all…
The Scottish Highlands
Last year, whilst wandering the Scottish highlands, we revisited the three sisters and decided to find a viewpoint we missed previously. The walk from the car park was fairly short had we knew where we were going but it turned out, we didn’t. Nonetheless it was a great hike with a lot of laughs along way. The view we were photographing interested all of us but for me, I just couldn’t work the scene. After a while we packed up and made our accent up to the road side. It was there that I spotted and made this incredible photograph.
Without hesitation, I dropped my bag and reached for my camera. Using the 70-200 allowed me to create an intimate image. The mist in the valley creates a sense of mystery and allows you to explore the image, whilst the rugged landscape holds your attention.

Big Water of Fleet Viaduct
A large granite viaduct near Portpatrick and standing at 36 feet high, Big Water of Fleet was once a railway that played an integral part in Scotland’s war effort during WWII. The viaduct was even featured in the seminal Hitchcock film ‘The 39 Steps’ (1935).
Old Keiss castle. The ancient Keiss Castle ruin stands proudly atop the dramatic coastal cliff in North West Scotland, illuminated by a breathtaking sunrise. The pastel colours of the sky reflect on the serene calm shore below, creating a mesmerizing vista of tranquility and beauty. The rugged rocky shore, with its windswept cliffs and historic atmosphere, adds an otherworldly charm to the calm tranquil scene. #FSPrintMonday
