Honestly I think we should allow AI generated murals in Glasgow in the spirit of our recent and world famous AI generated Wonka Wonderland. Let Glasgow be the capital of AI slop. If you can't win it...

Stone cottage on Welsh moors

Kodak Ektar film and Hasselblad camera

#wales
#filmphotography
Ancient stone ruins of a traditional Welsh cottage stand against moorland hills carpeted in rust-red winter bracken. Gnarled hawthorn branches thick with bright green moss frame the scene from the left, their twisted forms adding character to the composition. The ruined walls, constructed from dark slate stacked in the local style, remain partially intact despite abandonment. Moss-covered boulders and tufts of coarse grass populate the foreground, while the misty hillside beyond shows patches of purple heather among the faded vegetation. The overcast sky creates soft, diffused light typical of Welsh mountain weather, emphasizing the melancholic beauty of this abandoned upland dwelling.

Penmon Point lighthouse

Kodak Gold film and Hasselblad camera

#wales
#filmphotography
A distinctive black and white striped lighthouse stands on a rocky outcrop in calm coastal waters off the Welsh coast. The cylindrical tower features alternating horizontal bands of white and dark weathered paint, with a metal ladder affixed to its base providing access from the stone platform. The text “PENMON” is visible on the white middle section. The lighthouse’s lantern room sits beneath a domed white cupola at the top. In the foreground, dark seaweed-covered rocks emerge from shallow water at low tide, while the serene sea stretches to the horizon beneath a pale blue sky. A few seabirds can be seen in flight near the structure. The weathered appearance of the stonework and paintwork suggests this is a historic maritime navigation marker, likely Penmon Point Lighthouse in Anglesey, North Wales.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Finally watched Blue Velvet last night thanks to our local cinema doing Lynch specials, and wow it’s like a missing episode of Twin Peaks, with all the clues, and probably the only episode where you can mostly figure out what’s going on by the end.

Today’s reflection: Gaelic hydronymy, the peninsula as a manuscript of water.

Allt Faskadale. Camas nan Clacha Móra. Lochan Dóbhrain.

Speaking these names feels like letting the sea move through the mouth.

Misty day in Snowdonia

Kodak Ektar film and Hasselblad camera

#wales
#filmphotography
A misty Welsh landscape captured on Kodak Ektar film showing autumn-brown bracken covering rolling hills, with a meandering stream winding through the valley in the foreground. Scattered bare trees line the waterway, while forested slopes fade into hazy blue-grey mountains in the distance. The muted, earthy palette of russet, amber and pale green creates a soft, atmospheric scene typical of the Welsh uplands in late autumn or winter.

Trwyn Penmon at low tide

Kodak Gold film and Hasselblad camera

#wales
#filmphotography
Two white-painted cottages stand on a rocky coastal promontory beneath an overcast sky, with mountains visible in the misty distance. The foreground shows an exposed tidal zone with dark rocky outcrops covered in green and brown seaweed, intersected by shallow channels of water reflecting the grey sky. The rugged shoreline extends toward the buildings, which feature traditional chimneys and simple architecture typical of remote Welsh coastal settlements. A utility pole stands to the right of the cottages, emphasizing the isolated nature of this windswept location.

Winter sapling

Kodak Ektar film and Mamiya RB67 camera

#scotland
#filmphotography
A delicate bare sapling stands among dead bracken in late autumn or winter. The young tree’s thin grey branches spread outward in an intricate network of twigs against a hazy sky, while its slender rust-colored trunk rises from a sea of dried, coppery-brown ferns. The soft focus background reveals muted tones of brown, blue-grey, and hints of green vegetation, creating a contemplative scene of dormancy and seasonal transition in what appears to be moorland or highland terrain.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Grazing sheep

Kodak Ektar film and Hasselblad camera

#scotland
#filmphotography
Three sheep with distinctive curved horns graze on green coastal grassland at dusk, their wool cream-colored against the emerging grass. Behind them, a calm loch reflects the soft pink and blue twilight sky, while dark moorland hills rise along the opposite shore. The foreground sheep bends to feed while two others stand alert on the gentle slope above the water’s edge.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Sheep on the snow

Kodak Ektar film and Hasselblad camera

#scotland
#filmphotography
Aerial view of a Highland valley showing steep hillsides with russet and golden-brown vegetation descending to a pale green valley floor. A stone wall crosses the middle distance, with scattered sheep grazing in the upper pasture. The foreground slope displays distinctive parallel drainage lines and patches of yellow-green grass among the autumn-colored bracken. Rocky outcrops are visible on the left, while the landscape’s contours create a dramatic sense of depth and scale typical of Scottish mountain terrain.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Snow in Glencoe

Kodak Ektar film and Mamiya RB67 camera

#scotland
#filmphotography
A stark winter Highland landscape showing two distinct terrain layers: the foreground features a bare hillside covered in dried, tawny-brown winter grasses with deep erosion gullies creating dramatic dark shadows across its textured surface, while the background reveals a snow-covered mountain under pale grey-blue skies, its white slopes marked by exposed dark rock ridges where the snow coverage is incomplete.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Mossy Bridge

Kodak Ektar film and Mamiya RB67 camera

#scotland
#filmphotography
A fast-flowing stream rushes beneath a moss-covered stone bridge in a misty woodland setting. The water cascades over and around dark, moss-blanketed boulders, captured with a long exposure that renders the current as silky white motion. The ancient bridge arch frames the scene above, its weathered stonework draped with vibrant green moss and ferns. Bare winter trees with moss-covered trunks rise on either side of the stream, their branches creating an intricate canopy overhead. Copper-colored fallen leaves carpet the forest floor, contrasting with the lush green moss that covers rocks, tree trunks, and the bridge structure, creating an atmospheric scene of a temperate woodland in winter.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Snowy Old Man

Kodak Ektar film and Hasselblad camera

#scotland
#filmphotography
A dramatic rocky pinnacle rises from snow-dusted Highland slopes at dawn or dusk, its dark volcanic spires catching warm pink-golden light against a pale sky. The distinctive formation stands prominently in the foreground, with rugged snow-covered terrain falling away to reveal a sweeping vista of russet-brown moorland, meandering lochs reflecting the sky, and distant mountain ranges layered in soft blue haze across the horizon.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
