Arran and Portencross

As I'm going off on holiday for a bit and won't be able to post, I'll give you 2 for the price of 1 today.


If you've been visiting my site for any time, you'll be aware of my love affair with the Island of Arran. This was taken from practically the same position as the photographs of Millport on the last two days, but turned through about 135 degrees.


This was taken about a mile further south and is of Portencross Castle. The link gives you all the information you'll need!

Millport - Again

This photograph was taken under the same conditions as that of yesterday, but shows the view a little further round the bay.

The spire showing through the trees on the left of the picture is the Episcopal Cathedral of the Isles, the spiritual home of my sister-in-law.

Millport, Cumbrae

This is a photograph of Millport taken from the Ayrshire coast just beside Hunterston Nuclear Power Station which was closed in 1990 and is currently being decommissioned.

I used my Sony camera with the big lens, with an octopus tripod wrapped round a rail and a cable release to minimise blurring from camera shake. I think I managed fairly well
