Across The Forth
Posted on January 5, 2022
You may think that this image of the Firth of Forth was captured at sunset. However, it was actually taken just before noon and is looking due south from the Fife village of Pittenweem towards East Lothian in the distance.
It’s all a matter, when shooting into the sun, of keeping the sun itself out of the image.
I think it certainly fits the brief for this week’s ‘Fun Foto’ theme of ‘water, water everywhere’.

Tuesday Photo Challenge: Vista
Posted on May 22, 2019
Frank’s theme for this week is ‘Vista’ and, inspired by the photo he used in his own post, I have gone with a seascape from the coast of New South Wales – somewhere in the Sydney area, but I can’t remeber exactly where.

Imagine how dull this picture would be without that red railing.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Ambience
Posted on January 14, 2017
Ambience: the sense of a place. This is poolside at the hotel on Sir Bani Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. Quite possibly one of the most relaxing places we have ever been to (several times).

Weekly Photo Challenge: New Horizon
Posted on December 10, 2016
The first time we visited Muscat, in Oman, we went on a sunset cruise, so this was a new horizon for us at the time.
