'Tis the last day of (meteorological) winter today, so here's 06:15. Upper Loch Torridon. (-2C at the time of shooting).
This evening's sunset at Milarrochy Bay on Loch Lomond. I love that we have such great wild spaces just a short trip from Glasgow.

Ha ha! That's a great slogan and good on the firm for using dialect.
Can't work out if that's dialect, Denglisch or just Kauderwelsch!
Something I've only noticed in Germany, to be honest. Not aware of it being standard in Scotland, though it obviously should be!
Two photos of the riverside in Düsseldorf Germany. The top one in black and white taken apparently in 1990 of a four lane road and the bottom one apparently taken in 2019 is the same view full of grass, trees and people enjoying a sunny day
Düsseldorf, Germany put the road into a tunnel shortly after the first picture, apparently taken in 1990, and turned the riverside into a great place to be
A ghost building on Robertson Street in Glasgow. I love all the different phases visible in the stone and brickwork.

I love everything about this story, not least the care and interest shown by the lorry driver.
Two views of the River Medway with moored boats. In the second one, the sun is setting.
The way there and the way back: A morning and a late afternoon view of the River Medway from the train.

Late afternoon, the middle of January and there's already a difference in the light. ❤️
A fascinating museum, learnt a lot from the mine reconstruction in the cellar, great view from the tower
Toll! Die Blume im Revier 😊
Mountains and lochs as seen from a single track road.
The 'Coast Road'. Looking towards Loch Shieldaig and Upper Loch Torridon. 09:00 this morning.

Ducks on tiny unfrozen section of loch with pine trees
Frozen lochan
Snowy pinewoods with mountains behind
Frozen loch with island castle
Simply perfect conditions on an extended walk around Loch an Eilein and Rothiemurchus Forest today. Very quiet - only saw two other people out at Loch an Eilein.

1952 Official Handbook to the Port of Dundee with a cover showing Dundee's location as against other northern European ports and a fine illustration of an ocean going cargo vessel, sadly unattributed. The title dominates the upper edge with the outline map showing Dundee in red, the North Sea and Scandinavia, the Baltic and various ports. The image of the anonymous ship at sea covers the lower third.

Good to know, thank you! Hope you're having a lovely birthday
The sun setting behind the purple floodlit National Galleries with the silhouettes of the castle and Old Town buildings on the left of the picture
A view from Edinburgh Christmas market with the top of a market stall in the foreground, behind that in sequence the ferris wheel, Scott Monument, a fairground ride and the moon
A large poster on a metal fence with the logo for Edinburgh's Hogmanay saying in Scots 'Lang May Your Lum Reek' or long may your chimney smoke (may you live long and prosper)
A joke sign on the fence to Princes Street Gardens advising kilt users to wear underwear in high winds
Soaking up the Hogmanay atmosphere in #Edinburgh this afternoon
It's a great drive, especially as passenger! Lovely capture of the winter light
A good New Year when it comes for you too, looking forward to more of your insights into German and Scottish football in 2026. Guten Rutsch!
View of kayaker on a calm Loch Morlich with the mountains reflected in the water and a sandy beach in the foreground
Looking over the sandy beach at people on the edge of a calm Loch Morlich with the mountains reflected in the water
The long midwinter shadows of two people waving on a dandy beach with pine trees and blue sky in the background
Loch Morlich near Aviemore in the Cairngorms National Park, unusually no ice or snow today, but always beautiful
Joseph Whitworth, among the most significant figures of the Industrial Revolution, was born on this day 1803 in Stockport.
The view out the back of the library. The streetlights are on. The sun has set and the horizon is orange and pink.
#Orkney. 20th December.
Sunrise 9.03am
Sunset 3.15pm
Tomorrow is the #WinterSolstice. In 2 days the sunset will be a minute later than today. In 2 months it will be 2 hours later. By June we'll have 18 and a half hours of daylight in #Orkney. 💡
What looks like a moonlit scene in a cemetery but is in fact broad daylight, or as broad as daylight gets round here in December.
The statue of Charles Tennant, with a big chimney behind him.
Mist, trees, graves. Shortly after taking this, I met a party of wandering PhD students who'd presumably come here to be cheered up.
A man stands like a less dramatic version of the Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog, except that he is very much not above it.
In and around the Necropolis at lunchtime.
Visible snow or sleet driven by the wind over a Highland landscape.
A snow (or sleet) shower approaching Upper Loch Torridon from the north west about an hour ago.
No issues with crusty as a word. In Scotland you see crusty roll used to distinguish from a soft morning roll.
More issue with the concept of a croissant pizza! Also the fact that a croissant would maybe be crumbly but never crusty!
Along with the German objects we found in our attic, there was this notebook, a remnant of a Polish settler.
I don't know who Mania, its owner, was, but she must have lived in my house. So we are, in some way, connected.
