Hi and thank you for visiting my site. I've collected a number of my favourite photographs onto this site to share with you and I hope you enjoy looking at them.
You will see that they are page placed, for example; landscapes, cityscapes, flowers etc, just click on the appropriate page tab that interests you.
The photograph above is the "Road to the Isles" through Glencoe in Scotland, it was taken early on a frosty winters day and I think it typifies the Highlands of Scotland, barren, beautiful
Did you know - Glen Coe is English for Gleann Comhan, Scottish Gaelic, is said to mean "Glen of Weeping" perhaps with some reference to the infamous Massacre of Glencoe in 1692. However, "Gleann Comhann" does not translate as "Glen of Weeping" but relates to the River Coe which runs through it, and bore this name long before the 1692 incident. The name of the river is believed to predate the Gaelic language, perhaps Pictish, and its meaning is not known.
The small photograph immediately opposite was taken on an outing to Glasgow Botanic Gardens, it is a Bromilliad, commonly called an Urn plant ( Aechmea fasciata ), which is well named and can often be seen in native South American rain forests quite often in the boughs of trees.
Did you know - Aechmea is a Greek word meaning "spear point", referring to its long, spear-shaped leaves.
