Aberlady Beach

Aberlady Beach, East Lothian. This stretch of the Forth estuary has a string of expansive beaches. This midsummer sunset catches the sense of space, looking across the water to the Lomond Hills in Fife.

Beach Grass Sunset

Beach Grass Sunset, somewhere on the Forth estuary. It’s amazing how different a view can be obtained by getting down close to the ground! A star filter adds effect

Wallace Monument

Wallace Monument, Stirling. A different perspective on a well-known landmark. The Wallace Monument stands on Abbey Craig above the River Forth floodplain, overlooking Stirling, and commemorates William Wallace who led the Scots to victory over the English at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297.

Lake of Mentieth Sunset

Lake of Mentieth Sunset, Stirlingshire. Often thought of as the only lake (as opposed to loch) in Scotland, it is in fact the best known of about half a dozen. In very cold weather the Lake hosts the Bonspiel, a huge curling event. The last such official event was held in 1979, but in 2010 a planned Bonspiel was abandoned on Health and Safety grounds, though nevertheless many curlers took to the ice without serious mishap.

Lancaster Canal

Lancaster Canal. This view, looking towards the town centre, captures the eveining light shortly after sunset. There are mallard, moorhens, and gulls in abundance, not to mention lots of goldfinches.
