Resurrecting another *NEW* portfolio: This is the Isle of Arran, Scotland 👉 https://www.iancylkowski.com/scottish-islands/isle-of-arran

We spent a week here way back in 2017, and a week is not enough. I yearn to be here again, with its imposing mountains, ancient history, gorgeous coast and so much.

A serene and ancient stone circle at Machrie Moor on the Isle of Arran, Scotland. Three tall standing stones dominate the foreground, their surfaces weathered and covered with patches of lichen and moss, indicating their age and exposure to the elements. The largest stone stands prominently on the right, its rugged texture and earthy tones contrasting with the surrounding landscape. The other two stones are slightly smaller and positioned further back, creating a sense of depth and alignment. The ground is a mix of grass and dry, golden-brown vegetation, suggesting an autumnal setting. In the background, rolling hills stretch across the horizon under a partly cloudy sky, with a faint rainbow arching gracefully above the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of tranquility and historical significance, evoking a sense of connection to the past amidst the natural beauty of the Scottish countryside.
A picturesque scene of a cascading stream in North Glen Sannox on the Isle of Arran, Scotland. The water flows gently over rocks and small waterfalls, creating a smooth, silky texture that highlights its movement. Surrounding the stream are patches of grass and heather, displaying autumnal hues of yellow, orange, and green, adding warmth to the landscape. Large boulders are scattered along the banks, contributing to the rugged beauty of the area. In the background, imposing rocky hills rise up, their dark, jagged silhouettes contrasting with the softer tones of the foreground. The sky above is partly cloudy, with grey clouds hinting at an impending change in weather, while a sliver of light breaks through, casting a gentle glow over the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of serene wilderness, showcasing the raw natural beauty of the Scottish Highlands.
The majestic Glenashdale Falls on the Isle of Arran, Scotland. A powerful waterfall cascades down a steep rocky cliff, its water appearing smooth and silky due to the long exposure used in capturing the scene. The falls are surrounded by lush, dense vegetation, with trees and foliage displaying vibrant autumnal colours, including greens, yellows, oranges, and hints of red. The mist rising from the falling water adds a mystical quality to the atmosphere, enhancing the sense of movement and energy. The surrounding landscape is rich with ferns and moss-covered rocks, creating a verdant backdrop that contrasts beautifully with the white, frothy water of the falls. The overall scene exudes a sense of tranquility and natural beauty, highlighting the raw power and serenity of this stunning Scottish landmark.
A serene and picturesque scene at Glen Rosa on the Isle of Arran, Scotland. A small, flowing stream meanders through a rugged landscape, its water cascading gently over rocks to create miniature waterfalls. The foreground features a shallow pool with clear, reflective water that mirrors the surrounding environment, including the rocky terrain and patches of vibrant vegetation. Large boulders are scattered along the banks, adding texture and depth to the scene. The background reveals rolling hills and distant mountains, their peaks shrouded in soft mist under a partly cloudy sky. The landscape is adorned with autumnal hues, with grasses and shrubs displaying warm tones of yellow, orange, and brown, contrasting beautifully with the greenery and the cool blue-grey of the rocks. The overall atmosphere is one of peaceful wilderness, showcasing the natural beauty and tranquility of this Scottish glen.

This is easy and brief. Here are 42 photos I took with the Sony QX-10 this morning while walking in my neighborhood. It takes better photos while in motion in good sunlight than it did at dusk. Some of these are lightly cropped.

I've always been curious about these Sony lens cameras. This has the potential to be a great street photography camera. In 2011, I had a Kodak one that was much less capable. I found this Sony QX-10 for $65, so I bought it. It came today.

Here's something a little different.

It wasn't always gorgeous weather during our stay around the East Neuk of Fife. When it was more gloomy, we headed to Dundee to check the city out.

In particular, the V&A Dundee Museum of Design proved a totally fascinating subject https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/3/13/the-va-design-museum-dundee-scotland-winter

#travel #winter #scotland #photography #photo #photographie #architecture #historical #uk #britain #dundee
The interior of the V&A Dundee, showcasing a modern architectural design. The space features a striking wooden wall with layered panels, creating a dynamic visual effect. The floor is made of dark tiles, and there are large glass windows allowing natural light to flood the area. In the centre, a staircase leads to an upper level adorned with wooden seating and displays. People are seen walking through the space, engaging with the environment, while a reception area is visible on the right. The ceiling is lined with horizontal wooden beams, enhancing the contemporary feel of the venue.
Another stunning interior view of the V&A Dundee, focusing on the flowing wooden wall that elegantly curves upward. The scene is viewed from a staircase leading down to the lower level, where visitors can be seen walking. Above, large windows allow ample natural light to brighten the space, and glimpses of the upper level reveal a bustling area with people seated and enjoying their surroundings. The staircase features glass railings and dark tiled steps, while the lower level showcases various exhibits and displays, including signage for "Locke Hall." The overall design combines modern architecture with warm wooden elements, creating an inviting atmosphere.
The striking exterior of the V&A Dundee, emphasising its unique architectural design. The building features a series of layered concrete panels that create a dramatic, angular façade, resembling the hull of a ship. In the foreground, a smooth, reflective surface of water mirrors the structure, enhancing its visual impact. The ground is wet, from recent rain, adding a subdued atmosphere under a cloudy sky. There are a few figures in the scene, providing a sense of scale against the impressive backdrop of the museum. The overall composition highlights both the contemporary design of the building and its harmonious relationship with the surrounding environment.
A captivating view from within the V&A Dundee, looking out towards the city of Dundee. The foreground features the building's distinctive layered concrete structure, creating a dynamic framing effect around the view. Beyond the architectural elements, the scene reveals a bustling urban environment, with various buildings and pedestrians visible in the distance. The surface beneath is smooth and wet, reflecting the cloudy sky overhead. To the right, a gently curving water feature adds a serene touch to the setting, while the overall composition highlights the contrast between the museum's modern design and the lively cityscape beyond.

The Fife Coastal Path from Anstruther to Pittenweem then St. Monans.

Powerful gusts still battered us on the coast, but that just heightened the mood and drama. Gorgeous sandstone formations and beautiful coastal fishing villages... lovely.

And there's more photos from this day! I implore you, wayfinder, seek ye here https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/3/6/pittenweem-st-monans-east-neuk-of-fife-scotland-winter 👍

A charming coastal scene at Pittenweem in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. A quiet pathway runs alongside a row of pastel-coloured houses, with walls in shades of cream, pink, and blue, and roofs adorned with vibrant red tiles. A wooden bench sits invitingly on the left, while a few chairs and tables hint at outdoor seating. The path leads towards the sea, where gentle waves lap at the rocky shoreline. The sky is partly cloudy, creating a serene atmosphere that captures the essence of this picturesque seaside village.
A rocky shoreline at Anstruther in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland.

Ce jour-là eût lieu un curieux phénomène . En effet l’étoile polaire, brillant beaucoup plus fort qu’à l’ordinaire, apparût à l’est et s’éleva lentement dans le ciel. Quand elle comprit qu’elle avait été dupée par une lune d’humeur farceuse, la Pointe de l’Échelle en rougit de honte.

That day, a curious phenomenon took place. The North Star, shining much brighter than usual, appeared in the east and slowly rose into the sky. When she realized she'd been fooled by a moon in a playful mood, Ladder Point blushed with shame.

Photo d'un paysage de montagne au crépuscule. Des montagnes saupoudrées de neige se reflètent nettement dans un lac. Un sommet plus éloigné est encore éclairé par le soleil, le reste de l'image est plongé dans l'ombre. Dans le ciel, la lune brille et semble prendre une forme étoilée, elle se reflète aussi dans le lac. On distingue difficilement une ou deux étoiles dans le ciel. - Photo of a mountain landscape at dusk. Snow-capped mountains are clearly reflected in a lake. A more distant peak is still illuminated by the sun, while the rest of the picture is plunged into shadow. In the sky, the moon shines brightly and seems to take on a star-like form, also reflected in the lake. One or two stars are hard to make out in the sky.

Time for something a little different.

Before I moved to Cumbria, I lived in Preston for many happy years. It is a forward-facing, youthful, vibrant, and exciting little city. These murals, which you can do a circuit of, are a reflection of these characteristics.

All images taken with my Google Pixel, too. See more here -> https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/2/16/preston-lancashire-winter

The image features Preston bus station, characterised by its modern architecture. The building has a prominent, expansive overhang supported by tall columns, creating a sheltered area for pedestrians below. The façade is sleek and features large glass windows, allowing natural light to illuminate the interior. In the foreground, a smooth, paved area is visible, with a few people walking and some bicycle racks. The sky above is partly cloudy, adding a dynamic element to the scene, while a multi-storey building can be seen in the background, contributing to the urban landscape.
A vibrant mural on the side of a building in Preston, depicting a woman with intricate tattoos, cradling a white lamb. The artwork is framed by the brick and stone architecture of the building, which features large windows and ornate details. In the foreground, a cobbled pathway leads towards the mural, flanked by trees that are bare, suggesting early spring or late autumn. The atmosphere is lively, with string lights visible on the terrace below the mural, and the sky above is partly cloudy, adding depth to the scene.
A striking mural on the side of a building in Preston, depicting a woman in a flowing yellow dress seated in a decorative chair. She has a calm expression and holds a glass, while a small lamb rests on her lap. The background includes various artistic elements, such as a lamp and framed images, contributing to a cosy atmosphere. The building itself is painted in darker tones, which contrasts with the vibrant yellow of the dress. In the foreground, street signs and a lamp post are visible, while the sky above is overcast, adding depth to the scene.
A vibrant mural on a building in Preston, featuring the phrase "Just Another Diamond Day" in bold, stylised lettering. The mural is adorned with intricate designs, including colourful birds perched on branches and decorative floral motifs against a backdrop of warm, rich colours. The composition captures a dynamic contrast between the lively artwork and the more utilitarian elements of the surrounding architecture, including a sloped surface and a concrete structure in the foreground. The cloudy sky above adds a moody atmosphere to the scene, enhancing the visual impact of the mural.
