Op een vroege ochtend bij het kerkje van Eenum op het platte land in het noorden van de provincie Groningen met een geweldige lucht!
View over Garmisch-Partenkirchen at sunrise. I set off from the apartment just after 5 am and hiked 30 minutes up the hillside in the dark to get this shot, but it was worth it to see the pink glow over the mountains!

It was one of this mornings with some low hanging mist in between the hills of my hometown. As the sun came over the horizon, the small beech forest was flooded with fresh morning light and I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time.

Un moment inoubliable, une merveille naturelle inscrite au patrimoine mondial par l'UNESCO. Chute la plus haute : 82 m
Witnessed this magical moment from a higher point of view down the Würmtal valley. Note the small whirl of fog on the left, which was driven by the power of light and thermal energy.

This scene appeared to me like two playing ball while a others are watching them from the side of the playground. This was not a planned shot, but much more an exercise in recognize and react.

Erithacus rubecula, the UK's favourite bird - with its bright red breast it is familiar throughout the year and especially at Christmas! Robins live across the UK in woodland, hedgerows, parks and gardens.
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.
Field of oilseed rape at Duffus.....
Duffus Castle, near Elgin, Moray, Scotland, was a motte-and-bailey castle and was in use from c.1140 to 1705. During its occupation it underwent many alterations. The most fundamental was the destruction of the original wooden structure and its replacement with one of stone. At the time of its establishment, it was one of the most secure fortifications in Scotland. At the death of the 2nd Lord Duffus in 1705, the castle had become totally unsuitable as a dwelling and so was abandoned.

Mottes were common in Scotland the 1100s and 1200s, before they were replaced by stone castles. They were fortifications, usually consisting of a wooden keep on top of an artificial earthwork mound. Some also had an enclosed courtyard or bailey, containing additional wooden buildings, protected by a ditch and palisade.
Duffus Castle was a fortress–residence for more than 500 years, from the 1100s to the 1700s. The stone castle we see today was built in the 1300s, replacing an earlier timber fortress.
Once one of the strongest castles in Scotland, it was reduced to a decaying ruin by the time of its abandonment in 1705. But the castle remains an impressive sight, situated on a mound rising out of the flat Laich of Moray.
