Fuzzy photo of a lighthouse on a beach. The light in the photo kind of appears to emanate from the lighthouse.

Black and white photo of a graveyard. There are graves dotted across the field - in the foreground a stone has fallen and lays titled so the inscription is hard to make out.

🍁Autumn Polaroid Week Day 1

I don’t have the right words for this place with it’s dark and light.
It claims my soul; and brings me peace at the edge of night.

A Polaroid Diptych of Loch Lomond from Firkin Point. On the left, branches of a fallen tree are silhouetted against the sky and water. The steep hill on the distant shore is in shadow and reflected in the water. On the right, the last of the sun bathes the top of the hill on the far shore in light. The water is like a mirror, smooth and reflecting the sky and hill. The stump of a tree is shown in the foreground.
