Digitized paper photo taken during a trek through the White Desert (Egypt).
Location: ancient Roman settlement.
This trek took place in 2001. The trip consisted of daily walking tours + transfers by jeep. We slept every day somewhere in the desert under the starry sky, a "heavenly" experience. The White Desert is in my top 3 of travel outside Europe.

That’s why one can even find a glowing waterpipe here.

Chimney of the steam boiler plant of the Maschinenfabrik Sulzer-Escher Wyss, built in 1892. A water tank is arranged in a ring around the chimney according to the Intze principle.
We spent over 8 hours over 2 separate days exploring the Fairy Pools on the River Brittle (Allt Coir a Mhadaidh) and the foothills of the Black Cuillins in Glen Brittle on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. This shot was taken on the first day, when there was lots of rain and fog. In the left background you can see the pinnacle of Sgur an Fheadin and its Waterpipe Gully, first climbed successfully in 1895. On our second day here we walked to its base and beyond.

In 1890's a metal pipe was attached to the walls of Whitewater Canyon to bring water from Whitewater Creek to an ore processing mill. On top of the pipe was a precarious wooden walkway called a Catwalk. While the waterpipe was no longer in use, the Catwalk was rebuilt by the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) in the 1930's. The CCC Catwalk washed out in a major flood in 2012. It has been rebuilt with the substantial metal walkway you see here. Hiking to the Catwalk and beyond is a popular hiking destination in New Mexico.
Happy Fence Friday!
Land of the fairies - The magical fairy pools descending Coire na Creiche with the Black Cuillin living up to its name and looking dark and ominous as ever. The distinctive pyramidal pinnacle of Sgurr an Fheadain presides centre stage over this enchanted landscape.
No fairies were harmed in the making of this image :)

A brand new edit of one of the most iconic river stretches anywhere in the UK and for me, my favourite section of river anywhere in the UK. Glen Brittle River has it all, too many waterfalls to list, plunge pools, underwater arches, and aqua green water all set against one of the most dramatic backdrops of the Black Cuillin.
This gorgeous little double waterfall is perfectly positioned to allow Waterpipe Gully to feature heavily in the background while the impressive terrain surrounds me. If there's a more impressive river view in the UK, I'd love to know it.
Despite my love for Skye though, I have decided to leave it off my 2020 workshop list if just to give me a rest from the beautiful island. Sometimes in order to keep yourself motivated to photograph a location, you must rest it for a while and that's what I shall be doing with Skye throughout 2020. I shall continue to run my Harris & Lewis and Assynt workshops though.

Family members enjoying a late night Turkish water pipe (nargile or hookah, partially obscured behind the bollard) on the streets of Istanbul, Turkey. The water pipe was brought to Turkey in the 16th century and is very popular utilising a multitude of different Turkish tobacco flavours such as mint, apple, strawberry, rose and capuccino.
Black Cuillin - The incredible fairy pools descending Coire na Creiche with the Black Cuillin living up to its name and looking moody and ominous as ever. A shaft of sunlight just catches the distinctive pyramidal pinnacle of Sgurr an Fheadain breaking the darkness of the Cuillin.
Despite searching high and low, no fairies present this day; the presence of the moody Cuillin must have scared them away.

Coire na Creiche and Sgurr an Fheadain in the Cuillin on the Isle of Skye.

I returned from running my winter workshop on Skye on Wednesday last week and while I would have liked a little more light than we got (bar an amazing sunrise on the Sunday at the Quiraing), subdued conditions do make for some fantastic opportunities to capture water shots as bright light often burns out the water.
On this particular day, I took my fellow photographers up to the Fairy Pools, which for those of you who know, is a truly stunning part of Skye and quite easily the most impressive stretch of river anywhere in the UK.
Underwater arches, iridescent green plunge pools and of course the numerous waterfalls that line the Glen Brittle river all go to make this one of my favourite locations in the UK. On this visit, I had a little time to find and capture some different compositions on a familiar subject matter and this gorgeous little waterfall that bounced beautifully off the large rock underneath begged to be photographed, so I obliged.

A hookah or shisha, is a single- or multi-stemmed instrument for heating or vaporizing and then smoking either tobacco, flavuored tobacco (often Mu‘assel), or sometimes cannabis, hashish, and in the past opium. The smoke is passed through a water basin—often glass-based—before inhalation.
The health risks of smoking through a hookah include exposure to toxic chemicals that are not filtered out by the water and risk of infectious disease when hookahs are shared.
There are two theories regarding the origin of the hookah. The first is that following the introduction of tobacco to medieval India by the Jesuits, and since then tobacco use became widespread. The hookah or water-pipe was invented by Abu’l-Fath Gilani, a Persian physician of Akbar, in the Indian city of Fatehpur Sikri during Mughal India; the hookah spread from the Indian subcontinent to Persia first, where the mechanism was modified to its current shape, and then to the Near East. Alternatively, it could have originated in the Safavid dynasty of Persia, from where it eventually spread to the Indian subcontinent.
Despite tobacco and drug use being considered a taboo when the hookah was first conceived, its use became increasingly popular among nobility and subsequently widely accepted. Gradually, burned tobacco has been commonly replaced by vaporizing flavoured shisha. Still the original hookah is often used in rural South Asia, which continues to use Tumbak (a pure and coarse form of unflavoured tobacco leaves) and smoked by burning it directly with charcoal. While this method delivers a much higher content of tobacco and nicotine, it also imposes more adverse health effects compared to vaporized shisha hookahs.
The word hookah is a derivative of "huqqa", a Hindustani word, of Arabic origin (derived from حُقَّة ḥuqqa, "casket, bottle, water pipe"). Outside its native region, hookah smoking has gained popularity throughout the world, especially among younger people. Source Wikipedia.

Fairy pools - The incredible fairy pools descending Coire na Creiche from the heart of the Black Cuillin with a shaft of sunlight catching the distinctive pyramidal pinnacle of Sgurr an Fheadain. A truly wonderful and inspirational location.
