Ailsa Craig is a small island off the south west coast of Scotland. The island is a now extinct volcano, and currently serves as a natural bird sanctuary. This shot was taken from Prestwick beach.

Sunset Germany style (and a request)
Hey folks. I’ve been away visiting a friend in Germany the past week or so, hence the lack of activity, but I have lots (about 500) pictures from my travels. Some are silly and some just for my own memories so don’t worry I wont be sharing all of them! I got lots of different shots, some like this one, others of the tallest skyscrapers I’ve ever seen (taller than the ones in Scotland anyway…) and some of typical German architecture and towns. This picture was taken from up a hill near Linden – Leihgestern, Hesse, Germany. Germany is a beautiful country.
The second pic is from a few weeks back during the Edinburgh Festival, since Belen over at Artismysanity asked if she could see the colour version of one of the shots I had posted in a more edited form. This is the image with just a couple of tweaks to contrast, colour etc.
More from the Edinburgh Festival
A Charlie Chaplin impersonator and a guy drawing a pentagram on the ground, on the Royal Mile, Edinburgh.
Evil mermaid
A girl dressed as a mermaid on the royal mile, an evil mermaid with red eyes and pointy teeth… Gotta love the festival.
Golden Girl
One of the street performers on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh during the Edinburgh festival. She was painted head to toe in gold, hence the name of the post. Thought I would try out a tilt shift – style edit on this one. I wasn’t sure about it, but it’s grown on me.
Platform 13
A shot from the end of Platform 13, Glasgow Central Station. Just a quick snap while I was waiting for the train to Ayr, but I ended up quite liking it. The station itself was built in 1879, so it’s an odd mix of 19th century stone and glass with modern high speed trains, burger kings, coffee shops and bars. I’ve been getting the train between Ayr and Glasgow my entire life to see family, so Central Station always brings back a few childhood memories. It’s probably one of the places in Glasgow where I feel most at home, (apart from my flat), strange.
