St. Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh :)
What a lovely weather today!

#Edinburgh #photooftheday #Scotland #explore
St Giles' Cathedral dominates this Edinburgh scene under a vivid blue sky. Its soaring Gothic crown, the Thistle Chapel spire, thrusts upward with jagged pinnacles, open arches, and ornate stonework like a medieval fantasy frozen in gray sandstone. ​ Tall lancet windows with stained glass catch faint light, while buttresses and turrets add drama to the facade. A prominent statue—likely John Knox—stands before the entrance on a high pedestal, facing the street. ​ To the left, elegant Georgian sandstone buildings rise with sash windows, balconies, and a flat roof, their warm tones contrasting the cathedral's dark majesty. A red "No Entry" sign and traffic lights block the cobblestone road, bare winter trees edging the view, distant sea mist hinting at the horizon—timeless Scottish heritage alive. (612 chars)

#rosehip #nature #closeup #autumn #botany #orange #wildlife #alttext #scotland #edinburgh
A close-up shot of a bright orange rosehip on a stem in an out-of-focus natural setting. The rosehip is a teardrop shape and is smooth in texture. It is attached to a reddish brown stem with dark speckles. The very top of the rosehip has a stubby brown curly stem remnant. The background is a melange of green, orange, and brown from the out-of-focus vegetation.

🪬🧿 The Jacobites steam train, Highlands, Scotland - Glenfinnan Viaduct #scotland #glenfinnan #steamtrain #train #highlands #filmlocation #photography #nature #beauty
The Jacobite steam train, composed of a black steam engine and several maroon-colored passenger cars, travels along the curving Glenfinnan Viaduct, a tall, gray stone structure composed of multiple arches. White steam billows from the engine as it moves across the bridge. The arches of the viaduct create repeating semi-circular shapes. In the background, a hillside is covered in trees and sparse vegetation. A small path winds up the hill, populated by tiny figures of people.

Glencoe Lochan #scotland #glencoe #beautiful #nature #lake #loch
A breathtaking landscape photograph captures Glencoe Lochan in the Scottish Highlands, framed symmetrically with glassy black waters perfectly mirroring the surrounding autumnal forest and misty mountains. Dense stands of tall evergreen conifers in deep greens line both shores, their reflections creating a seamless, ethereal divide, while golden-yellow deciduous trees add warm highlights amid subtle mist. ​ ​ Towering, rugged peaks shrouded in layered gray-pink clouds rise dramatically in the background under a dynamic sky blending deep blue, purple storm hues, and soft sunset glows. The serene artificial lochan, planted in the 1890s by Lord Strathcona for his Canadian wife, evokes a Pacific Northwest vibe at the edge of historic Glencoe village. ​ ​ This easy woodland trail spot offers accessible paths through North American conifers, with views of Pap of Glencoe and Loch Leven, ideal for photography in tranquil Highland scenery.

🪬🧿Roslin Glen triskelion

#roslin #triskelion #stonecarving #wallacecave #scotland #history #nature #celtic #ancient #heritage #alttext
A close-up shot of a dark and textured stone surface featuring a carved triskelion, which is a motif consisting of three interlocked spirals, likely found in Roslin Glen Country Park near Wallace cave. The stone's surface is rough and weathered, with small bits of debris scattered around the carving. The triskelion itself is deeply etched into the stone, with the spirals evenly spaced and connected at the center. To the right of the stone, some ferns and other foliage add a touch of nature to the scene. The overall tone of the image is earthy, highlighting the natural and historical aspects of the location.

Loved the contrast yesterday! :) #Edinburgh #scotland #travel #landscapephotography #beautifuldestinations
A cityscape photograph taken from a low vantage point captures Salisbury Crags, the dramatic red basalt cliffs of Holyrood Park, rising behind a cluster of brick and stone Georgian buildings in Edinburgh’s Southside. The foreground shows a red brick building with arched windows, a green van with "Grass" branding, and parked cars under bare winter trees, with modern yellow and grey office blocks lining the street against a brooding grey sky. ​

🪬🧿Temple selfie - I spent 6 months travelling around China :) What a nice memory

#yonghetemple #beijing #china #travel #bald #selfie #temple #backpack #culture #architecture #alttext
A selfie of a bald man in a black shirt with a backpack standing in front of the Yonghe Temple in Beijing. The man is facing forward and looking at the camera with a neutral expression. He is wearing a small white device in his left ear. Behind him, the temple is ornately decorated with traditional Chinese designs in red, orange, and gold. There are people entering and exiting the temple. Smoke drifts in the air, partially obscuring the view of the temple in the background. The sky is visible at the top of the frame.

🪬🧿Signing 'Epoch of Aodhan'

Find it here: www.epochofaodhan.com

#author #booksigning #fantasy #novel #epochofaodhan #rosslynchapel #books #reading #newrelease #theone #signedcopy #alttext
The image is split into two frames. The first frame shows a bald man in a gray hoodie signing a book with a wooden pen. He's standing behind a glass display case filled with rings of various colors and designs. Behind him, shelves display a collection of flasks. The second frame shows a close-up of the book being held. The book's cover is dark blue with gold lettering, with the title 'Epoch of Aodhan: The One'. A hand with a gold ring is holding the book, and a display case with ornate metal objects is visible in the background. The overall impression is that the man is an author signing copies of his book in what looks like a curiosity or antique shop.

Aerial view of the Falkirk Wheel, a rotating boat lift in Scotland. The wheel is a large, silver, and curved structure that lifts boats from one canal to another. The canals appear as dark blue channels of water that run through a landscape of green fields and forests. The wheel is surrounded by a visitor center, a parking lot, and walking paths. People can be seen walking around the visitor center and along the canals. In the background, rolling hills and fields stretch out to the horizon. The sky is overcast, with a few white clouds.

🪬🧿 Memento Mori

#mementomori #mortality #death #graveyard #gravestone #skull #feather #somber #reflection #transience #alttext #scotland
A low-angle shot captures a weathered, moss-covered gravestone, epitomizing 'memento mori'. The stone, aged and worn, bears the inscription "MEMENTO MORI" at the top, a Latin phrase meaning 'remember you must die'. Below this inscription, a symbolic skull and crossbones are carved into the stone, serving as a stark reminder of mortality. A single, dark feather leans against the gravestone, adding a touch of poignant beauty to the scene. The foreground is filled with verdant grass and rich soil, highlighting the earthiness of the burial ground. In the blurred background, other gravestones stand, their details obscured by the depth of field. The somber yet reflective atmosphere of the image invites contemplation on the transient nature of life.
