Aurora 2025-09-02 T 01:14

So the autumn aurora season has started. Not as grand a display as advertised, but I caught this red/purple glow with very subtle hints of rays, anyway.

Flappy Things(TM)

ML295, an old Spitfire dating back to the 1940s, spent the weekend based at Perth airport, which kinda dictated the doggy-stroll route of the day.

"What, here?!"

Amusing juxtaposition caught this afternoon at Scone airport.

Nice clean signal. A minor fault and a dyke nearby.

The Structure of Trees 7 & 8

Studies in the natural forms of trunk and branch - how limbs grow, split and stretch through space.
I think one of these trees should be called "Monster in the Glen".

The Structure of Trees 5 & 6

More b&w studies in the shapes and forms of trees.

Light filters through the canopy, casting soft highlights and deep shadows that bring out the grain of the bark and the structure of the leaves.

No dramatic weather or wide vistas here - just closeup attention to the way trees deport themselves in the quiet of the woods.

Corbenic Poetry Path was as beautiful and inspiring as always on Sunday. Poems by various U.K. poets, sculpture by Hungarian art students, nature by unknown.

The Structure of Trees 3 & 4

Available as prints, cards and more via the website: https://shiny.photo/gallery/mulberry-purple-blue,trees,structure,quasi-abstract

A B&W study in trees concentrating on the natural forms of trunk and branch - how limbs grow, split and stretch through space. Some trees lean or bend under their own weight, others reach upward or out in wide arcs.
No dramatic weather or wide vistas here - just closeup attention to the way trees deport themselves in the quiet of the woods.
