I have come back to this same spot at the same time every year for the last 13 years. When the forecast is cold with no wind I know there will be a mist and the water will be still as glass. Making the same image every year is something I can do as these images are made just for me. Repeating myself is not an issue. It’s a comfort to see the turning of the season. I always go home feeling joyful. That is a form of pilgrimage, I suppose.
Never gets old. Some images from a previous year. Reminds me to get back there soon.
After just a few short days the leaves have taken on a much more autumnal hue. The days are colder and near to freezing at sunrise. Lots of empty acorn cupules lying on the forest floor but no acorns so let’s hope they are all squirrelled away (literally) for the winter. The erosion of the rocks has carved out some beautiful forms and today we noticed some long strata of quartz stretching across the river.
Another lovely day out in the company of Niall and Joe.
Dunkeld, Scotland.
An early morning visit to the river Braan reveals the subtle change in hue and tone across the forest as Autumn creeps in.
The sunlight in the river valley is just beautiful. Areas of darkness punctuated by shafts of light that light up the leaves like lanterns of green and yellow.
It’s a bit too much work to write up all the camera settings etc but if anyone is interested to know I would be happy to message you back.
Once again a big thanks to Manoj for the company and the chat.
