Culzean Castle Sunset


Culzean Castle Sunset

This photo was taken on the Ayrshire coast of Scotland from the grounds of Culzean Castle.  The castle is on the west coast lookong out to the Atlantic Ocean. The photo was taken during winter hence the reason why the sun apears to be setting in the south.

I am off to the South of France for a couple of weeks, so posting might not be as regular as normal.

Austrian Wild Flowers


Austrian Wild Flowers

 This was taken in Austria, near Kitzbuhl. I came across this lake while hiking, it was an overcast and calm day as the photo shows. The sun was just strong enough through the clouds to backlight the wild flowers that were growing at the waters edge.
