Sunsets are probably one of the most popular photographic subjects, and I guess that I have my fair share too.  A few of my sunsets have proven very popular with calendar publishers, but generally sunsets don’t sell that often.  So, this week I’m highlighting an image I took many years ago and which has just sold for the first time.  Licenced through Alamy, it is being used as a greetings card.  I spotted this stand of trees near home and knew there was potential for a good picture given some nice light.  A setting sun dropping into a bank of fog and some snow were the final ingredients.

One of my favourite places in Scotland just has to be Buachaille Etive Mor on the edge of Rannoch Moor.  From just about all angles, time of day or season you can find a good shot (its a superb view from the top too!).  Blackrock Cottage is a popular foreground and this image, taken in the warm morning light of late summer, was licenced for use in an educational book in Japan.

The sale of the week this time around is this self portrait!  Yes, I used to be a drystone dyker (or waller for those south of the border) and earned my living for a decade practicing this fine rural craft.  Hopefully, I can still remember how to do it as I’m about to start landscaping our new garden!  The image was licenced via Alamy for a magazine sold in South Africa.  For anyone interested in learning more about drystone dyking visit the Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain.

One of the most interesting areas in Glasgow at the moment is along the Clyde at Pacific Quay.  In the news recently was the Clyde Arc bridge, nicknamed the “Squinty Bridge”, which was closed due to a snapping cable hanger and the subsequent discovery of another crack.  The bridge will be closed for some time.  Along the river bank on Pacific Quay is the new BBC Scotland Headquarters and the rather more interesting Glasgow Science Centre.  You can cross the river by the Bell’s Bridge here to take a closer look at the “Armadillo” building and the impressive Finnieston Crane.
