One of the characterful type of trees which immediately catches the eye. As I saw the flooded meadow around it, I thought this could make a great foreground given the right conditions. Especially if there was a colorful sunrise or sunset. Actually, I had to visit this location four times - under different water levels - to get the shot I was about.

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.

Quite amazing light rays were visible when the light broke through the low hanging clouds and mist at the edge of the forest at this morning. The whole woodscape was bathed in fine light while I was shooting and enjoying the happening.

Spynie Palace was for 500 years the seat of the bishops of Moray. During that time, the palace stood on the edge of Spynie Loch, a sea loch with safe anchorage for fishing boats and merchant vessels. A thriving settlement developed nearby.
Today, nothing remains of either sea loch or medieval settlement. But the impressive ruin of Spynie Palace is the largest surviving medieval bishop’s house in Scotland.
A lovely view on Goathill (Gaisberg) in Niefern. This shot has been taken in early September under foggy conditions. You can see the grass which already has changed its colour while the last fruits are hanging on the apple tree. Maybe you noticed: Five months earlier I have taken almost the same shot, when spring was in full bloom. Check this shot out and compare them - it's amazing how the landscape has changed: flic.kr/p/25drNV9

Dawn over the small valley Würmtal in the Northern Black Forest. The castle ruin Burg Liebeneck rises out of the fog. It was my fifth visit of this viewpoint, but the conditions never were as desired. At this morning there were impressive colors in the sky, complemented by low hanging banks of fog.

One of my favorite photos taken this year.
I kept moving from dune to dune looking for a nice ridge pointing toward the sunset and some great ripples to catch the light. I thought I was going to be too late when I spied this dune in the distance. Luckily, I made it to the top just in time to line everything up.
White Sands is a great little park, I hope to return soon and share it with
Kay.

The ancestral seat of the earls of Moray
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.
A new stronghold
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.
By 1350, the castle had passed to a younger son of the Earl of Sutherland through marriage. It may have been then that the keep was abandoned, possibly because it was beginning to slip down the mound, and a new residence established at the north of the bailey.
Viscount Dundee, leader of the first Jacobite Rising, dined in the castle as a guest of James, Lord Duffus in 1689, prior to his victory against King William II’s government forces at Killiecrankie. Soon after, Lord Duffus moved to the nearby Duffus House. The castle quickly fell into decay.

This scene impressed me by the wonderful big and straight fir trees and the mystic fog. As I set up for the shot, the scene was completed by a silhouette, appearing out of the mist. Would it be a good or a bad encounter?

While having an evening walk with Désirée I had another opportunity to portrait Mt. Säuling (2047 m). While sliding on the lake and throwing the tripod on the ice, I rushed in order not to miss the light on the top of the mountain. In the midground you see the small village Weissensee next to the same-named lake.

Out in the Northern Black Forest, hoping for some morning fog. Instead, we got a very unique sunrise with nice desert color tones. Those tones are formed, when sand and dust particles from the Sahara desert are in the air, blown over the Mediterranean sea. Thanks to Nicky for joining me.

This is a wildcat - not a house cat - which I spotted in the wildlife park Pforzheim. "Wild cats are among the most worthy of protection species of our homeland. They depend on undisturbed, structured deciduous forests" [1]. "After all, today an estimated 2,000 wild cats are on the move in the German low mountain ranges" [1].

Plockton sits on a sheltered bay with stunning views overlooking Loch Carron, in the Highlands of Scotland.
While doing a small hiking trail on the Swabian Alps I found this pretty dark looking scene of dense fir trees within a moderate hail storm. Due to the shutter time of 1/40 s, the snowflakes become diagonal lines in the frame and helped to build the rough mood.
