towards the moor

 

On one of my favourite tracks in the village looking out over the moors. Lovely - especially on the sunny days  before the midges arrive.

David

 

I may be over-using the reto plastic camera atm. It's light and in the right conditions it works well. in less than ideal conditions it works. This snap was caught inside An Lanntair  cafe/arts centre during a little conflab with ourselves and Mrs David.

yes, it floats

 

They both float as it happens. The old tub of a fishing boat still just about working and the visiting sail training ship from Denmark looking lovely in the unexpected sunshine that day. The young sailors from Denmark brightening up the town here in their smart uniforms and bright smiles.

Over that way

Not been past here for ages and everything. For some reason I have not had the urge and have not taken the Bronica out for a while either. It must be rectified soon. Tis over the other side of the island. Over there,, [pointing wildly and most probably inaccurately. but you get the idea].

sewing

 

And here's Mr Hickman in his studio creating another piece for an upcoming London exhibition. Oh I say, no doubt it will sell for a tidy sum to keep the wolf from the door.

I just love calling in for a natter and potential snappage although at the time of writing Tom has the flue or some such ghastly bug.

and this is Tom

 

Tom the artist of this parish dancing to his garden to help the growing process. Never know someone with such green fingers. His garden is wonderfully lush and productive despite overlooking the sea.

That's his lovely studio behind his wonderful "Scottish home of the year 2022" house. Visits to the studio can be arranged.

The snap was taken on Foma 200 pushed to 800 in Rodinal [a mistake!! ]

Glasgow

 

Ooof, wee shall be off island again later in the year for a spot of cycle-race watching this time in Kelvingrove Park, Glasgow. Really looking forward to it and maybe we'll get a visit to the Necropolis while we are briefly there.
