Penicuik Estate
Suddenly it started to look ominous. A cold wind got up and rain was in the air, at this point the wandering photographer beat a hasty retreat before the deluge!

South Gare, Redcar
A great breakwater at the mouth of the River Tees. As a youngster, the wandering photographer spent a lot of time fishing off the end here!
Inside the steel works, Redcar
A 'torpedo' coming out of the furnace. The glow of the hot molten iron can be seen on the topWalking the dogs
Steel works, Redcar. Having been brought up surrounded by heavy industries the wandering photographer is at home with such wonderful industryscapes. and what a location... right on the beach!Tuesday, 25 March 2008
Transporter Bridge crossing the River Tees
This one is at a more extreme angle... and still raining!Transporter Bridge crossing the River Tees
Came out quite well despite it raining - maybe the rain added a bit of 'atmosphere'!

Cap Law, Pentland Hills
The clouds gathered and after this the snow started. The wandering photographer beat a hasty retreat off the hill.
Cap Law, Pentland Hills
More of the windswept trees. Definitely a harsh environment for trees and wandering photographers!Cap Law, Pentland Hills
Guess which way the wind blows up here. Ok, so its not a sparkling sunny day but it has its own windswept charm!Cap Law, Pentland Hills
A stand of very ancient, gnarled and windblown trees, many are uprooted but still clinging on to life. West Kip in the distance.
The Font Stone, Pentland Hills
Looks nice but there was a strong and very cold wind! Scald Law and Soth Black Hill in the distance.
Ninemileburn, Pentland Hills
As the weather was so good the wandering photograher decided to walk up to the top of the Pentlands. Struggling up the hill, the weather started to close in a bit. Must get up earlier tomorrow!
Auchencorth Moss
Sunday snow! Not a lot, but enough to transform the view. An yes, the wandering photographer has a battery today!Saturday, 22 March 2008
Lyne Kirk
One from yesterday! Hopefully the wandering photographer will not forget his battery tomorrow!
North Berwick
Today the wandering photographer wandered off without a battery in his camera, so nothing new! Instead I'll throw in some B&W from a week or so ago!

Auchencorth Moss and the Pentland Hills
Yes, this is the same day, just an hour later and getting dark. Snow storms, high winds and bitterly cold. We DO have a lot of weather in Scotland!
Near Peebles
Spring! Winter can be seen at http://scotfot.blogspot.com/2007/12/christmas-day-dawn-scottish-borders.html
Disused railway bridge west of Peebles
The bridge crosses the River Tweed. Storm clouds brewing behind.Abbey Knowe, near Lyne Kirk
On the field adjacent there is the remains of a Roman Camp, on the knoll itself is a well preserved early Christian burial site from the ‘Dark Ages’, between the 5th and 8th centuries AD. Evidence of a long occupation in this area.
Lyne Kirk
A very ancient gravestone. An Adam and Eve stone depicting a carved scene of the Temptation in the Garden of Eden. These are rare! 
Lyne Kirk
A typical small Scottish Borders kirk, still in use, but with a history going back many centuries.Thursday, 20 March 2008
Auchencorth Moss
Sheep settling down for the night. No bright sunset tonight, just cold, windy and dull.Dirleton Castle Dovecot
The mystery object from Sunday on the outside! East Lothian is well known for its dovecots. They were used in medieval times as a ready source of meat and eggs.
Penicuik Estate
The wandering photographer has been out of action for a few days - today he had a gentle walk in the woods!Monday, 17 March 2008

Teasels
Couldn't resist just one more B&W! That's it for the day... I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
Old limestone mine, Midlothian
The limestone was quarried using the stoop and room method. Limestone was removed leaving a pillar to support the room. The temptation was of course to leave as little of the limestone pillar as possible!
Old limestone quarry in Midlothian
The quarry face is riddled with old mine workings. They looked very unstable
Tree on Auchencorth Moss
It was a grey morning, there was little difference between this image in colour and in B&W. It was a throw away image before I packed up and went home! It turned out quite good!
Auchencorth Moss
Saturday morning brings light rain and overcast conditions. OK, so its a real challenge to bring a daily picture! B&W seems to work better than drab coloursFriday, 14 March 2008

Splash of colour
As the moors are so grey and overcast recently, I throw in a splash of colour from Sunday for the avid blog watcher!

Auchencorth Moss
The day started with snow and turned to heavy rain. Mosses of the moor thrive in this weather, I'm not to sure about the wandering photographer.....Sunday, 9 March 2008
North Berwick
The wandering photographer wandered off for a few days but came back in time for a quick squally trip to North Berwick

Spring around the corner?
It was a cold, cloudy and very windy day, sometimes you see something that makes you think Spring may just be on its way!

Auchencorth Moss
Tonight the snow had receded but still covered the Moorfoot Hills. A cold wind blew.

Pentland Hills
What can I say, except the wandering photographer was frozen stiff and almost frostbitten. It was wild!
Pentland Hills
The last rays of sun hit the top of the ridge as the fiercely cold winds drive the cloud over the hills

North Berwick
Bass Rock and storm clouds at sea. There was a freezing wind today with cold squalls rushing past.
