Last Autumn I spent a couple of days in Creetown. So, let's have a look at some of its Gaelic and Viking history.

A cargo ship is visible in the ocean with an island in the background, under a cloudy sky.

10yrs ago give or take a month, I was broken.

Then I went on a trip around Scotland.
Then I bought a camera I didn't know how to use.
Then I went out in the landscape every single day for just over a year.
Then I had an exhibition.
Then I had a new career.
Then I was a little less broken.

Still working on it. But no regrets.
One of my first shots, 15 Nov '14.

Nature can heal. 🙏

The image depicts the Ailsa Craig, a notable landmark in Scotland. It is an island located off the coast of Kintyre, near the town of Campbeltown. The photograph appears to be from the late 19th century or early 20th century, judging by its sepia tone and the attire of the people present in the image. The Ailsa Craig is known for its unique shape and distinctive vegetation. The surrounding water indicates that the photo was taken at a time when maritime transportation might have been more common. The overall impression is one of serene beauty, capturing the essence of Scotland's natural landscapes.

Here's a great article from 2001 about rat eradication on Ailsa Craig, by Dr. Bernard Zonfrillo, who sent me lots of wonderful info about the island too:
