Another pic from my recent holiday to Scotland… A view of ‘The Isle’ (as it’s known locally) on the Dumfries & Galloway coast.
The walled area on the left, jutting out into the harbour is called the Captain’s Garden, now with several houses on it, but originally a garden associated with the nearby castle. The black squares painted on the wall aren’t (as I originally thought) some kind of navigation markings but are in fact, simulated man o’ war gun ports!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Fifteen years ago it was the landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales…
For a number of years we rented a cottage in the beautiful market town of Leyburn for a week in November… relaxation, long walks and lots of local beer tended to be the order of the day, with a little photography thrown in.
Pen Hill is roughly five miles south west of Leyburn and at 1,814ft high it is a prominent landmark in the area.

The ‘Dog is my Copilot’ lettering inside what is obviously a pet carrier attached to this BMW F800GS made me chuckle…
‘Look Rover, this is the ninth tree you’ve made me stop at today!’

Another image from a trip to Portobello and Leith in August.
I love how the shadow falls in this alley off Bernard Street in Leith. The double yellow lines seem like overkill in an alley barely wide enough for a car!

Yashica Mat 124G – 1/250s, f8 – Ilford FP4 Plus rated at ISO 100
This is from a test roll of Ilford FP4 Plus shot in a recently repaired Yashica Mat 124G. The scans seem a bit ‘flat’ but I’ve not yet looked at the negatives as they’re still in the post.
It’s a beautiful camera and thanks to Miles Whitehead of MW Camera Repairs I can start using it again!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Two years ago it was the various rail vehicles at the Fife Heritage Railway at Methil.
While many of the locomotives and items of rolling stock there are beautifully restored a few still await their turn in the queue like this grain hopper wagon…
I do love a bit of rust!
