I like to photograph what I see that makes me smile, breathe clean air, read and be outside with nature. Life is good here in Scotland. The people are witty too.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Best live musical show for 2024 had to be ‘Karl Marx in London’ performed by Scottish Opera.
I bought tickets for the Glasgow performance on a whim.
It has totally changed my perception of modern opera for the better. Pure genius.
