I’ve developed a fondness for a particular spot on the shores of Loch Leven to photograph sunsets. I’ve been there so many times now that I’m sure my Flickr feed is going to become even more repetitive. I’ve found that the local wildlife is also pretty accustomed to visitors to that spot and arriving with a few slices of bread brings in a multitude of interesting subjects. This is one of my favourites a very handsome young swan who is friendly enough to eat out of your hand. Not that getting that close is any good for photographs because he gets inside the minimum focus distance, however, throw some food out a few yards from the shore and he’ll pose for ages.

Sunset across the mouth of the River Erme in South Devon.
took this about two and a half years ago but wasn't sure if I liked it. Its growing on me but probably not enough to have it printed.
A flock of geese seem to be enjoying the sunset. Picture taken at the Pure Rod and Gun Club in Plainfield Illinois.

Sunset and Seagulls
The Craigavon Bridge is one of three bridges in Derry, Northern Ireland. It crosses the River Foyle further south than the Foyle Bridge and Peace Bridge. It is one of only a few double-decker road bridges in Europe. It was named after Lord Craigavon, the first Prime Minister of Northern Ireland.
Craigavon Bridge is the third bridge to be built in the area. The first bridge over the River Foyle was a wooden one built in 1790. It was assembled in America and transported to Derry to be positioned in the Bridge Street area about 90 metres north of the present bridge. It was built from 1789-1791 between Bridge Street and Fountain Hill. The structure allowed for a drawbridge as the inhabitants of Strabane had navigational rights to the river.
In 1863 the steel Carlisle Bridge was erected, a little further upstream, almost where Craigavon Bridge is today, to replace the old wooden bridge after it was destroyed after being hit by an iceberg in 1862.
Another look at our lovely sunsets peeking through the trees.
Hope you all have a delightful evening and Sunday!
