No, my series on the Southern Upland Way hasn't finished yet. Sorry. Getting close, but you'll just have to wait a few more weeks until I stop going SUW crazy.
Still hopefully the picture above makes up for it.
As a walker I rather dislike mist and fog for it makes gloomy walking. But as an amateur photographer I love it to bits as you can take moody, atmospheric photographs like this one.
It's on the edge of St Mary's Loch in the Scottish Borders. I have, I'm afraid, no idea what those wheeled wooden things are for (or indeed if they even have a purpose) but they give a nice foreground interest to the gloomy backdrop of the partially hidden hills in the background. And then there's water too. Water does add a little something to a composition like this.
I love the colours on this photograph too. The greys and greens contrast subtly and there's that hint of purple to enjoy too. Lovely.
