Looking out to sea and waiting – that is what these “standing stones” appear to be doing!
My StillWalk, “Coastal Walk“, in Scotland in the Spring features these shots. The balanced stones looked as though they were just biding their time and waiting for some spectacular event – or perhaps they were just soaking up the sun while they could.

The mornings are still cold but it’s not going to be long now – the evidence is out there.
These photos are from one of my Spring StillWalks – “Coastal Walk” in Galloway, South West Scotland. You can watch it here.

The sun goes down on Galloway, SW Scotland.
It’s different every time. No matter how many times you see it, the sunset is never the same, and there is never any tiring of it!

The inevitability of getting poured on can be seen from some way off. Not a hurricane but dramatic all the same and allowing a little time to get to shelter.
No chrome effect on these shots, just the colour of the day! The photos I have posted this week may show the wetter side of Galloway in South West Scotland but tomorrow’s will show another side to the story.
These two photos were taken with my old Fuji FinePix compact camera which had a chrome effect setting (different to the b & w setting). I was playing around with it one day in Galloway, South West Scotland a few years ago but the effect you see isn’t so much the cause of the camera setting as the weather and light itself.
Two more photos from Galloway in South West Scotland. This changeable, unpredictable weather thing has been going on for quite a while . . . forever in Britain! These are from 2008.

– to the light beyond.
My recent Production Day post about how quickly the weather can change these days reminded me of some photography I had done a few years ago in South West Scotland. I guess any outdoor photography has an element of weather to it but these photos are quite a personal reminder of a place I love and don’t see often enough. These, amongst other images play across my large iMac screen as a screensaver in the background when I have to work on my laptop. They were taken on my old Fuji compact but are effective nonetheless.
More to come through the week. Also, visit The Ambiguity of Fences for some more images from my own Lliw Lower Reservoir production day.
