What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
20 years ago it was the general cargo ship SYDLAND making its way along Loch Linnhe to the ArjoWiggins paper mill at Corpach.

Things have been a little quiet here of late, I’ve not had much enthusiasm for photography, or anything else really… But we’re now approaching my favourite time of the year, autumn, and hopefully that will make me feel a bit more enthusiastic and productive!
Anyway… here’s another image from a trip to Calke Abbey last August.
