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.
First of all, I like the dark overall mood of the image, coming along with the very nice blue hour tones which are reflected on the water and on the this awesome wet stones. The water with the dark reflections looks very velvet, which I enjoy very much. As well I do with the low hanging clouds and their movement captured by the long exposure. But what really made me to select this shot is that it was the only one with the shoreline in the foreground. For all subsequent exposures I opted for a cleaner composition. Finally, it is the messiness of the foreground which made this landscape very authentic for me. Thanks to the nice company of Alexander (@alexanderlinder_photo), who I met in the car park and who showed me the way over a small bridge and to this fantastic riverbed.

The autumn series continues... it's certainly a pretty classic theme, but I like the calm atmosphere, the soft colours and the beautiful grasses with the small road leading into the fog. Simple subject, well worth hanging on the wall.

The Wali Bai forest clearing in northern Congo, next to the Nouabale-Ndoki National Park. Created in 1993, the NNNP and its buffer zone has benefited from almost 20 years of collaborative management between the Congolese Government and the Wildlife Conservation Society, to emerge today as one of the most important protected areas for the conservation of great apes and other wildlife in Central #Africa. #naturephotography

A spot-nosed Monkey feeds in a tree in the Bomassa NNNP Headquarters. The greater spot-nosed monkey or putty-nosed monkey (Cercopithecus nictitans) is one of the smallest Old World monkeys. It is a guenon of the C. mitis group, native to West Africa and living to some extent in rain forests, but more often in the transition zone between rain forest and savannah.

With fog predictions from the Met office all weekend I decided to head down to the Peak District to capture some late autumnal images. Woodland isn’t really my bag but just lately I’ve been immersing myself in forests and sticking it out. The colours, even now, are still so vibrant in places and the fog yesterday helped with photographing this scene at Padley Gorge.
Let me know your thoughts below, thanks for looking!

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.
This nice waterfall has been taken at the very beginning of a fine walk up the Hörschbach gorge. While the water formed some smooth veil down the break-off edge, the wood in the background gave a nice autumnal mood to the scene. Note the fantastic palette of colors through the rock layers from the top to the bottom of the edge. Thanks to Nicky for joining me at this trip.

Really enjoyed shooting in the dark, the late night fog on Saturday night really helped me deliver a spooky image! 💀
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.
Emerging from the Fog - (click to view full image) - We took a couple early morning boat rides through the Bayou. The first morning we experienced heavy fog. The fog cleared around this tree just long enough for me to take a photo. The lake was hauntingly beautiful.

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.

Archaic (II) is another image from Sunday’s woodland wander in the Peak District. I spotted this scene after I had packed my camera away and was on my way back to the car, interestingly I grabbed my phone for an Instagram stories image but was inspired by the incredible light and mist still lingering - it was time to set up the camera, again and I’m so glad I did.

Westminster at Dusk. One of the benefits of traveling to the same place again and again is being able to visit known places at the best time of day. We were in London on an unusually clear day and traveled to the tourist hub, Westminster Bridge, for sunset photos. 5.23.2017. Sony A7II 42mm HDR ISO100.
