Welcome to my blog

Firstly, let me welcome you to my new blog. Hopefully, it's somewhere you'll come back to and see just what I've been up to.


My wife and I have recently moved to Inverness from Aberdeen and it's a Photographers dream. We've managed to explore the local area and there is so much to see. Recently we managed to get out on a beautiful day and drove across to the Gairloch. If you're into beautiful scenery, this is the place to go. It was quite difficult to keep the car on the road as I was always gawking out of the windows at the stunning mountain ranges and lochs. One of my favourite pictures from this trip is shown below

One of the things that struck me was the amount of abandoned buildings that are dotted around the landscape. When you see just how remote some of them are, it's not difficult to imagine how hard life must have been. Any time I come across one of these buildings, I try and photograph it to show the surroundings and in a lot of cases the stunning scenery. Imagine waking up to that view every day. Probably OK in the summer but absolute hell in the winter. It makes for a stunning photograph though.
