Saturday Symmetry

Stairs simply ARE symmetry, wouldn't you agree?  Taken with the Uniden.

this 17th century flight of stone steps is at Cramond, North of Edinburgh, Scotland.  The 'grafitti' you see  is nearly as old and if you look closely you will observe the Commandments!!

"...Look thee unto the fields.  Consider the flowers thereof.  They toil not neither do they spin, yet I say unto you, Solomon in all his glory is not arrayed as one of these!"  (Matt; 6:28-29)

The Minolta digicam was a great wee gadget.  The zoom was powerful.  No this is not a macro!

AARRGGGHH... Either I didn't see some small print on the previous week, or things changed suddenly - but TC changed the week for this theme... am keeping it in place though and they can have a double whammy next week!!! 

PINK!!! Over at Thursday Challenge, the prompt is for something PINK....ugh, thought I, not a colour I favour on the whole.

Then realised that on a recent train trip when approaching the Forth Rail Bridge, the caste of colour in the gloomy weather combined with angle through the carriage window had just a hint of pink.  It didn't take much to tweak that out a bit more, then play around with the tilt ...

...thus an otherwise wasted shot found some purpose!!!

Shipping by...
...not from the window this week; but over the hill and round a bit...

This is the Loch Dunvegan, roll on - roll off ferry for the Colintraive-Rhubodhach jump; that is mainland to Isle of Bute at the island's North end. Barely gets the ramps up before it has to drop them again, but without it the trip would be long indeed!

Taken with the 'Nik' on auto.

Monday's Critters

Value for money this one! The frame was sent to me two decades back as a birthday gift from little sister.  I could see no other photo fitting it than this one of some Hereford calves... well travelled cattle have been flown from Scotland to Australia and now back again where it sits in the autumn sunshine of Dunoon.

SUNdays

The day was late, the sun about set... turning away from it a little created a very different mood on a tide-out Wash, Norfolk.

Taken with the 'Nik' on sunset mode.
