After the run
Tired dogs. The one on the right looked quite scary…..like the wolf in
Little Red Riding Hood

Swedish Dog Sled
Last night we looked at Joanna Lumley’s enjoyable programme about the
Northern Lights. When I saw her crossing the Arctic Circle on a dog sled,
it reminded me that we had taken a thrilling trip on a dog sled in Sweden a
few years ago. Not great quality, as shot on jpeg ( I didn’t know then than
the RAW setting was so much better) with my old Pentax istD. However,
perhaps it captures the atmosphere…..and how beautiful the dogs were!

Glen Clunie
Mistakenly taken at ISO 1600 with the 5D, but even so, I’m glad we stopped
because the light was special, the heather was in bloom, and I liked the
meandering river, the curve of the little road, and the distant hills
shrouded in mist.

Footdee – Hut 2
Isn’t this beautiful? And think of all the creative work that got produced
in a hut or garden shed!
I seem to remember that in his ‘Outline of European Architecture’ ,
Pevsner said, ‘ ..a cathedral is architecture, a shed is merely a
building.’ Well, I disagree, I think this elegant shed certainly
qualifies as ‘architecture’.

Footdee – Hut 1
Down near the mouth of Aberdeen, there is a charming area of terraced granite
houses, called Footdee. Although I had gone there many times as a student,
I’d never noticed these lovingly decorated huts. I spoke to nice old guy and
his wife, and he put it this way, ‘ she’s got her kitchen, and I’ve got my
hut!’ Then they both laughed and walked away.

Handsome Fellow
Anette was working in the garden yesterday afternoon…..I was up the
scaffolding renewing a section of fascia. She came up to me and said, there
are loads of ducks in the Smith’s garden, why don’t you get your camera?
So I did. This is the shot I like the best…maybe because it has rather the
feel of a painting?
