Who Lives in a House Like This?

Autumn Glory

What a day Saturday 18th October 2009. The sun was shining, the sky was blue and the Autumn colours were out in all their glory. What could we do today? Take the wife to Glencoe and take a few shots when i'm there, everybody's happy. It seemed everybody else had the same idea. Hillwalkers,photographers,bikers and Sunday drivers all made the most of this beautiful day. Thank the Lord we all did, for today it is as bleak and miserable as is normal. Oh well at least I have my pictures to look at!

Portinatx

I have just returned after 11 nights chilling out in the small resort of Portinatx,in the north of Ibiza, the smaller of the Balearic Islands. There are no more than 9 hotels in this resort with two small beaches and lovely blue warm shallow water. Although a small resort there was enough for me and the better half to pass the time, a few small pubs and restaurants and some easy walks. Being in the north I did not see any famous Ibiza sunsets.The picture above was taken at 8am the earilest I was up during the holiday, and only because I was waiting on the coach for the airport! So if its San Antonio or its like your are looking for stay away!

Edinburgh Festival

Another shot taken on the opening day of the Edinburgh Festival.

Edinburgh Festival

Well after many years of trying I finally made it to the Edinburgh Festival 2009 opening parade.What a great days photo-shot I had.Don't know if I got any great shots but the buzz in Edinburgh today was GREAT!Hope to go back next year.

Bruce Springsteen

I was at the Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band gig last night at Hampden Park Glasgow. The guy played for just under 3 hours non-stop and would have played on if it was not for the 11pm curfew! Pure rock and roll the place was jumping, no special effects just unadulterated rock music. He showed the young pretenders how it should be done. Several highlights the obvious being Born to Run, my all time favourite rock anthem. A great night appreciated by the 50000 fans .

Last of the Mochians

This guy was spectating at Knockhill Racing Circuit, I could not take my eyes off him, what a character subject! Managed a few discreet shots.Converted to black and white using Silver Effects Pro.

Erin

The newest member of the Montgomery clan. Erin Patrica Montgomery, born on Tuesday 23rd June. She was 3 days old before I saw her as I was working away.I now have 4 grandchildren. Please stop!!!

Aiden

Grabed this shot of Aiden sitting still for a few seconds at the kitchen sink window. I was going to try the same shot again with a reflector (s/steel sink cover) but he wasn't having any of it. I like it anyway.

Words with different meanings

Found this sign in the Canarys.Obviously the word "Banarse" in Spanish has a totally different meaning in English.Appeals to my sense of humour.
