the shadows

 

confessions

 

Next door to the fine Kilmorack gallery if this fine piece of local history captured by my goodself with the help of a box and bellews and some film. Nice innit?

The gallery I might add is well worth a visitation if only to buy his fine and very readable book about the place.

Hungry

 

Over exposed, over developed and all together over egged. I think this snap may well be a lith print if I can ever raise the energy again to do such things.We were here for an hour or more traipsing the old streets, breathing in the fumes and generally having a fine time.

There are one and three quarter cats in our hoose here on the rock along with Eve and I. Hungry our migrant cat is settling well and doesn't rip my jugler out every day which is nice.  He loves Keith the cat hugely although sadly the feeling is not mutuel. They tolerate each other I might say. One day ......

we were here too

 

I rather like this snap. Not sure I'd like to live there mind but it does look pretty.

Creativity was lost on me while we were away although maybe it's a age thing. Maybe there's nothing more interesting going to come from me - although that is rather assuming any of my snaps were interesting.

beauty

 

A fine scape of sorts nestling in the wilds of mainlandshire up here in the NW.

Found this while attempting to capture the essence of the area. I suspect they are trying here to minimise the angels share or something. Yes, we went in.

It's not all as lovely as this mainlandside.

we were here and everything

 The castellated building I think is or was a water tower. This apparently was a dairy but they did up the milking stalls real nice. I slept well anyway.

I had taken the Hassie but used the Perkeo here on account of being near a famous camera store just oop the road. I mean, I looked at the building as we passed but daren't go in. But we did go in some fine galleries replete with excellent contemporary art. and we also bought and read books. 

Loved A Russian Journey by Steinbeck and Capa. Who knew? I certainly didn't

we are back

 

Back on  the rock after a fine few days on t'mainland. this was the view out of the front door of our cosy accommodation. And the sun shone all week in the daytime.

did a bit of light cycling and heavy cafe visiting. what's not to like?
