Laurieston Woods

This is one of my woodland series pictures and was taken travelling north towards Loch Ken, and close to the village of Laurieston.

 

Varanasi Archway

There maybe serious health and safety issues about working under that archway, but it makes for a photogenic scene. I love exploring places like this. There is always another corner to peer around and another alleyway to discover that’s full of incident and detail.

Under the Trees

A view taken on the edge of Loch Ken after a summer of heavy rain. Loch Ken forms part of the River Dee catchment which is a major producer of hydro power from its source in the mountains and as it descends through a series of lochs down to the sea in South West Scotland.

Saucepan Mender

This scene is part of my series of monochrome pictures of India and was taken in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.

Edge of the Loch

In this shot we are up in the Southern Uplands, in the Galloway Hills in fact, and standing on the edge of Clatteringshaws Loch.

 

 

Suburban Street Varanasi

Three characters stand behind the proscenium of the camera frame with a backdrop of a suburban street in Varanasi with the spotlight at stage left.

 

Carlingwark Loch

Carlingwark is a pretty loch situated on the edge of the small town of Castle Douglas, Galloway, Scotland. It has a number of small islands, one at least of which form the remains of an ancient crannog that possibly dates from the late Bronze Age. Crannogs were defensive settlements built in rivers or lochs. Several archaeological finds have been retrieved from the loch including a bronze cauldron, sword and pan and two dugout canoes.
