A few sets of impressive’looking horns on view here in this group of oryx at Al Ain Zoo in the United Arab Emirates.
At Anchor, Pittenweem

Fishing boats at anchor in the inner harbour of Pittenweem.
Approaching Menace
Posted on November 13, 2021
There is something faintly threatening in this silhouette of a French military helicopter against a backdrop of looming clouds. Not to worry though, it was only at a nearby air display a few years ago.
Sunset Over St. Monan’s
Posted on October 29, 2021
Looking from one Scottish fishing to another – Pittenweem towards St. Monan’s – the setting sun highlights the top of a fence, which really makes the shot.
Crossing The Bridge

You could, of course, drive any of the vehicles in this image, but there is no doubt that the real star is the already iconic Forth Crossing that links Edinburgh with the Kingdom of Fife.

The windows of the open-air memorial of Oradour-sur-Glane are all devoid of glass but offer many perspectives of what lies beyond.

For her Black & White Challenge this week, Cee wants to see a concrete structure.
So be it. This concrete pylon supports the electricity cables that still deliver power out here in the sticks. They are obviously pretty durable, as they have to be, but nothing is going to stop the ubiquitous brambles from having a go.

Patterns of reflections and diffraction from a half-full (or should that be half-empty?) glass of water sitting on our dining table.
Under April Skies
Posted on September 10, 2021
I took this photo from outside my front door at dusk one evening back in April this year. The exceptional mackerel sky was too dramatic to ignore.

Posted on September 3, 2021
This old stone staircase in the Bordeaux town of Saint-Emilion is rather grand, especially considering that it’s not in a stately home but rather an open-sided building housing a number of artisan workshops.
