Scotland: Fine Art Photography for Sale

Brilliant yellow fields of rapeseed or canola fill the Scottish countryside in July…. hope you feel the wind gusts moving the grasses.

Many Scottish castles are grand and glorious, well-documented and open for tourists. But remnants such as these have little except local lore to hold up their remaining walls. I worked on this image to enhance the haunted, historical nature of the scene.

We ate a quick bite while 50 mile per hour winds bashed the thin walls of the cafe; hit wildly erratic golf balls across the cove on #18 of Durness Golf Course; toured the cemetery on a blustery hillside; and finally came to Smoo Cave.

Dune Grasses and Sky #2: I was striving to allow the grasses to reach both above and below the earth making them central and connective.

The white boat rested quietly in the harbor of Stromness where we stopped for lunch. To me, it represents the peacefulness of this farming island….

I swear there is celestial music in the Scottish heavens, music we cannot hear but only see. How else to explain the constant shifting of light, the interplay of water and land, the evocation of emotions you don’t even know you feel yet.

We were just leaving Brora Golf Course on the coast in Sutherland. These boys and their dog were determined to get in another hole or two….

I’ve been gone from the blog for some time…, so each day for 30 days–October 27 through November 26, the U.S. Thanksgiving Day, I’ll publish one new fine art image from Scotland.

Just a favorite image from our drive through the Highlands the other day.  This croft house is just beyond Bonar Bridge.  The history of crofting is rich, and issues of support for crofting continues to be a major issue in this area.
