Hoped to head to town today, but otherwise hamstrung.

Old cars with keys that go in locks. Frozen locks & no way of unfreezing this morning meant doing a quick shop before catching next boat back home instead of getting done tasks I needed to in the big town.

It's a beautiful day too.
Heading out on the early boat. Looking out to the Isle of Rum & Eigg Offloading at the pier as I returned.

Still snowing this morning...

I find I get a lot of solace when the world is blanketed like this.
The Robins and Blackbirds are I think the only true friends to have in this world, always ready to come and say hello, no questions asked, always present.

Black & White image, square format. The view of the 'strath' is fronted by a single row of winter trees, behind the slopes rise to the highest peak in the UK. It is a grey, drizzly day - as always.!

Black & White image taken on a 4x5 camera. Icicles and ferns drape a small rock wall deep in the gorge, above the small stream that flows through it. The sunlight illuminates the scene.

Black & White image taken on a 4x5 camera. A stream is partially frozen, the ice is flows down a small cascade, in between the water flows smoothly. The foreground is a frozen pool of water with a fallen tree branch across it.

Now to consider a DE for this ancient machine...

This process was my challenge for today. This laptop is not my daily driver, except when I'm on the road. Looking for a very light install etc.

Testing some really thin Cotton Rag paper I'd made, mostly to see how it handled getting wet multiple times. Although I had to be relatively gentle, it held up well enough. Roughly 20g weight.

Double exposure..!
