Before and After (3)



Grangepans. One taken in colour in the middle of summer, the other in monochrome in the middle of winter.


Jackson's Close



Jackson's Close in Edinburgh used to be a nice shortcut to get to Fopp and Avalanche in Cockburn Street. Sadly, Fopp is now gone, but Avalanche is still going strong.

Forth Valley by Night




While exiting the West Lothian Golf Club last night I took these shots looking west up the Forth Valley. Not very good, but the best I can do on my small camera.
