Monochrome Monday… Lower Largo, Fife
Drummochy Road, Lower Largo, Fife
Nikon F3HP, Nikon Series E 75~150mm f/3.5 at 75mm – 1/500s, f8, +1EV – Ilford Delta 100
Back in October I posted a few digital shots from a fantastic holiday in Lower Largo on the Fife coast in Scotland. I also shot a few rolls of film that week and got some of the results back from the lab a few days ago.
Drummochy Road leads down to the harbour from the west and crosses Keil Burn on a narrow bridge just out of shot to the right. The viaduct in the background once carried the Fife Coast Railway that ran from Thornton Junction in the west to St Andrews in the north. The line closed to passengers in September 1965 and completely in December 1966.

Born on this day – Simon Marsden
‘I remain firmly convinced that a hidden, very different ‘spirit world’ runs parallel to our own so-called ‘reality’, and that this other secret existence, which lies concealed behind material appearances, can be revealed to any one of us if the conditions are right and we allow ourselves to be receptive to it by conquering our innermost fears of the unknown.’
Simon Marsden (Sir Simon Neville Llewelyn Marsden, 4th Baronet (English photographer, author and ghosthunter) – December 1, 1948 – January 22, 2012.
