This interactive piece places the user in control of an unstable ecosystem of islands and boats. The work is inspired by my own time growing up on a small island as well as the eventful history across all the Scottish islands. Throughout the project I have explored the natural, social and industrial events that have effected this larger network of islands.

My favourite photo.....Like I said, we have never been so close to these guys before....it was really interesting how human their interactions are....this female tried to hand a plastic water bottle to my daughter through the glass. If they could only talk....

A little play on a rainy day! Hope you all are having a good one!
This photo, a part of the street photography series, depicts an intimate yet silent exchange between mannequins, with a blurred human figure in the background. The scene toys with the concept of human interaction versus the artificiality of retail displays, capturing a moment where the inanimate seems to convey more emotion than the living. It's a commentary on the silent stories in bustling urban spaces and the unnoticed narratives that unfold around us every day.

AM 0500-620 consists of a highly symmetric spiral galaxy seen nearly face-on and partially backlit by a background galaxy. The foreground spiral galaxy has a number of dust lanes between its arms. The background galaxy was earlier classified as an elliptical galaxy, but Hubble has now revealed a galaxy with dusty spiral arms and bright knots of stars. AM0500-620 is 350 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Dorado, the Swordfish.
This image is part of a large collection of 59 images of merging galaxies taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and released on the occasion of its 18th anniversary on 24th April 2008.

TAKEN - Sat 30th Oct'21
The Gyrfalcon thrives in some of the harshest climates on Earth. This denizen of the mountains and high arctic tundra is a circumpolar species, found throughout the region of the North Pole. It nests in the arctic and subarctic regions of North America, Europe, Asia, Greenland, and Iceland.

I appreciate when officers like this one are polite and professional in their interaction with the public.

We've had a pretty good winter, with lots of snow and cold winter weather that started early in the season and kept going at regular intervals. (I know I'm in the minority when I define that kind of winter as "good," but I think it's far better than the interminable mud seasons we've had for the last several years.) We had enough cold stretches that I'd have expected more lake ice along the shore than this, but things at Illinois Beach seemed a little muted. There were some nice formations, but they only barely reached into the water. With the long stretches of sub-arctic cold we've had, I'd have expected ice several hundred feet out into the water.
But then, I don't come up to Illinois Beach often -- Robin and I have only come up here in the winter twice before -- so maybe the currents are too strong here for a lot of ice to form. Maybe it all gets pushed south toward Chicago. I haven't been to Indiana Dunes this season, so I don't know what the ice has been like down there.
Side Note: If you've been following this page for more than 12 years, you might remember a trip we took way back in 2014 to see the ice caves of the Apostle Islands up on Wisconsin's Lake Superior shore. This is a rare situation when the National Park Service actually allows and encourages people to walk out onto lake ice ... but only in certain conditions. Lake Superior has to have had an especially cold winter, and the ice around the caves had to be firmly locked in between the many offshore islands in the area. Until this year, conditions have only been right for the caves one more time since out 2014 trip, two years later in 2016. We thought maybe things might work out this year, and were ready to rejigger our schedules to head up on short notice, but the notice turned out to be too short. The National Park Service did open the ice caves on February 16th, and from what I've heard, the crowds were wild. But then a winter storm came through the very next day, which churned up the lake and broke all the ice, and that was it for the Apostle Island ice caves. The first access to the ice caves in a decade lasted a total of 16 hours, and it might be another decade before it happens again. Or these 16 hours might have been the last time anybody will see the ice caves for the rest of human civilization.
But Robin and I are happy. We saw the ice caves in 2014, and they were spectacular. So the lesson we take to heart from this is that if something special happens, take advantage of it now. Don't wait for the situation to reach some tenuous form of ideal. Do it while you can.
