Any big Friday plans? We don’t have one neither but hey, weather is going to be good and we will be out. I guess that can be considered as plan as well. This is a throwback from a last years Feb weekend :) What do you think?
Hope you are all having a great day? Here is my attempt to recreate iconic shot of Chicago. This skyline views are very impressive and I really enjoy spending time here. The idea was to wait for a perfect opportunity to get the photograph I wanted. The plan was to shoot with the infrared camera on a cloudy day so I can get that strong contrast I’m always going for and get those wind painted clouds only possible using Sony’s in camera app or manually blending exposures. I prefer that method because cloud movement looks more dramatic in my opinion. What do you think?
What to do? Another weekend is here and we are brainstorming a new location to photograph fall color. Few ideas come to mind and till we come back with some new images I will leave you with this frame from my recent PA trip. What do you think?

Don’t want the church to save us, we want to save the church. 'We' being people in our neighbourhood.

“To be away from home and yet to feel oneself everywhere at home; to see the world, to be at the centre of the world, and yet to remain hidden from the world—impartial natures which the tongue can but clumsily define. The spectator is a prince who everywhere rejoices in his incognito.” Charles Baudelaire
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.
