Edinburgh skyline
A favourite view! Not many cities have such a dramatic skyline with a great set of crags (Salisbury Crags) in the background. Not to mention another hill (Blackford Hill) just minutes from work for the photographer to climb to get this great view!

Auchencorth Moss, Midlothian
Stopping off on the local moor just before dusk. Cold, wet and windy no glorious sunset but dynamic clouds!
Traquair House Gardens, Innerleithen, Scottish Borders
Winter woodland walk. Very ancient Yew trees.Traquair House, Innerleithen, Scottish Borders
The low building on the left contains a chapel with a brew house underneath at the back. It was a dismal day and the the sun was out only for about 30 seconds! Fortunately I was in the right place at the right time and I rushed around getting a few different pics. Mind I had to wait some time and the car got stuck in the mud wheels spinning - had to be pushed out! A great effort to get you a couple of pics today! As least we have deep winter to look forward to!Traquair House, Innerleithen, Scottish Borders
This time of year we have a lot of weather! This afternoon Traquair House stood magnificently in the sun with storm clouds behind. Traquair House is the oldest continually inhabited house in Scotland it dates back to 1107 - yes, that makes it its 900 anniversary!Friday, 23 November 2007
Rooftop view - Edinburgh
Everything is in this picture - Edinburgh's stone built heritage and columnar basalt cliffs in the background - just like the Giant's Causeway!
Edinburgh sunrise
You may be wondering why no posts during the last two days... well it has been very dreich - RAIN all the time! This morning was different - it was a VERY cold sunrise!Tuesday, 20 November 2007

Auchencorth Moss in the rain
Why does the weather always look better in a photograph that it actually was on the moor?Sunday, 18 November 2007
Tree in the wilderness
A last gasp small hint of pinkness in the sky before the sun set on an otherwise dreich and very short day. At least we got a few of the lichens that thrive on every fence post top on the moor when the weather is like this!
Life on a gatepost, Auchencorth Moss
Even on the dreariest of days there are masterpieces of nature to be captured. A gatepost on Auchencorth Moss.Lichens on the moor
Overcast and wet it may be - but our lichens thrive and come to life in these conditions!Imagination
Today proved to be wet and overcast. Let the imagination see the rolling Pentland Hills behind the tree!

Beech skyline
This can be a great place to see buzzards. I've seen up to eight slowly wheeling around over the trees, today nil but with imagination you can see them!

Stolen shot
To brighten up the days pics on what was a grey day, I crept up to this Christmas cactus and stole a shot before the owner found me!
Timepiece
Going for a walk at lunchtime its great to have the occasional wall mounted clock to check the time.Monday, 12 November 2007
Sunrise on the way to work, Penicuik, Midlothian
Not usually up early enough to capture such fiery skies... I wonder whether it is like this EVERY morning?!

End of another day, Mendick Hill near West Linton
What better way to finish the day than with a great Scottish sunset! Late in the day at West Linton
Thirteen minutes past four and it is getting dark. Days are not very long up here!
Central Scotland scenery
Just north of Biggar, not quite like the Highlands but only a few minutes from home.Old landslide near Dunsyre, Lanarkshire
The low angle of the sun picks out an old landslide. Can you see the gap at the top where the rockfall started?
