An obligatory Granville Island photo
It’s almost as if the businesses of Granville Island go out of their way to get photographed.
Sylvia Hotel, English Bay, Vancouver
I’ve recently spent a fabulous couple of weeks in Vancouver, on Vancouver Island and up in the interior of British Columbia. Visiting family was the whole purpose of the trip, but I managed to point the camera at a few things of interest.
This is the facade of the Sylvia Hotel, one of Vancouver’s heritage buildings. Cousin R and I dropped in for cocktails (nah, beer) while we were there.
Soroba Lane
Another Oban pic.
Pontoons in Oban Bay
Cold, clear autumnal weather provides great lighting for the empty pontoons.
Fishermen at Magilligan Point
Taken from the wee Foyle Ferry on the crossing from Greencastle to Magilligan on a recent visit to Inishowen.
One glass too many?
Reflections photographed in Helsinki earlier this year.
Ladies of Elsinor
Ladies of Elsinor
We had a mini tour of Scandinavia last week. These people were watching us in the Maritime Museum at Elsinor.
Landscape from the edge of the world
The narrow spine of Rubha na Cille, the headland of the hermit’s cell, near Tayvallich is characterised by these stacks and pillars of rock, giving the land an almost unearthly feel. This manipulation is deliberately low-toned to emphasise the strangeness of walking through the landscape.
A wee snippet from Dunfermline Abbey
I was in Fife for a course last week and managed to make a flying visit to the Abbey before it closed. It being Fife, the beggars took my money before telling me the place was closing in five minutes. Anyway, a quickly-snatched photo on the phone, no less, gives you an impression of the sheer quality of the Norman architecture here. I shall return.
