Rosslyn Chapel and Castle – Photos For September 10

Rosslyn Chapel is one of the most unique structures I have ever seen. It as been going through extensive preservation work, which has been completed, and for the first time in well over a decade can be seen without scaffolding or what was for many years a large temporary roof. The photo is taken with a super wide angle lens and thus is distorted.

The Castle ruins and present house are also fascinating and are just a short walk from the Chapel. I particularly like the bridge leading into the ruin!

Both structures played a role in the movie, The Devinci Code, particularly the Chapel!

St. Andrews Is Not Just Golf No. 1 – Photo For August 4

Visited St. Andrews today, it was an easy train – bus trip from Edinburgh. If in St. Andrews, you must see the old course, but there is so much more…

This photo is of the castle ruins perched above the sea. They are fascinating and very photogenic. I used my ultra, wide angle lens to capture the castle, sea and swirling clouds.

Power Plant Study No. 5 – Photo For August 25

I had a very difficult time working the spider web into a decent composition. I am not really sure how well it works here, but had to include at least on photo of my efforts. The spider web as you can see in the photo was suspended between two strands of barbed wire adding to the composition and a deeper meaning if you wish to add one.
