Aylin Tezel – „Falling into Place“ (2023)

Ich war unglaublich gespannt, auf das Regie-Debüt von Aylin Tezel. Wie immer, wenn eine so profilierte Darstellerin, wie die Frau aus Ostwestfalen, die Seiten wechselt, um nicht nur vor der Kamera zu agieren, sondern die Kontrolle über einen Film zu übernehmen. Tezel hat es riskiert und gewonnen. Uns hat sie beschenkt. Ihr wunderbarer kleiner Film ist ein zartes Porträt von Liebe, Verletzlichkeit und Selbstfindung. (ARTE, Neu!)

#FantasticFactories ist ja echt ein schönes Spiel. Aber irgendwie ist da die Luft raus. In den ersten Jahren wohl zu oft gespielt, fehlt mir trotz langen Pausen zwischen den Partien irgendwie die Varianz oder vielleicht auch nur etwas mehr Tiefe. Ich weis es gar nicht.
Schade eigentlich.
#IsleofSkye im Anschluss hat mir dafür wieder richtig gut gefallen. Hier kommt viel Varianz und Taktieren auf den Tisch. Eine echte Perle, auch für Wenigspieler*innen #Brettspiele

The towering peaks of Bla Bheinn on the wonderful Isle of Skye, seen from the east across Loch Slapin. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/skye/skye/index.html

Bla Bheinn. The image shows a view over a loch which is visible across the bottom of the frame. Beyond it the ground rises, with a single white cottage prominent in the distance. Behind that are jagged grey mountains which have their tops covered in a dusting of snow. The scene is in sunlight.

The last day of May and this place is as green as greenery gets. It’s a place for all seasons. Today it rained. It is soothing and eternal. The dog and I pass through. I’m grateful for the sheer beauty of it. I’ll see it again. Soon.

#greenwood #isleofskye #may #seasons #summer #JohnClare

All nature has a feeling: woods, fields, brooks
Are life eternal: and in silence they
Speak happiness beyond the reach of books;
There's nothing mortal in them; their decay Is the green life of change; to pass away
And come again in blooms revivified.
Its birth was heaven, eternal it its stay,
And with the sun and moon shall still abide
Beneath their day and night and heaven wide.

The Old Man of Storr on the Trotternish Ridge is probably the most famous walk on the Isle of Skye.
The Old Man (Bodach an Stòr in Gaelic), is a 55-metre-high pinnacle of basalt rock which is all that remains of a 2,800-million-year-old volcanic plug.

We took the opportunity to do this walk early(ish) this morning. Brodie came with and although on the lead the whole time as there were sheep about, his behaviour was exemplary.

#oldmanofstorr #trotternish #isleofskye #scotland #walking

The Trotternish Ridge (highest summit being The Storr at 719m) was created around 60million years ago by a massive landslip. Hot volcanic lava flowed onto the weaker sedimentary Jurassic rock beneath it causing the latter to collapse and form the undulating cliff faces of the eastern coastline of Trotternish. The magnificent pinnacles and weathered basalt rock formations of The Storr dominates the Island’s north-eastern landscape and can be seen for miles by travellers heading north as well as from the mainland. It is one of the most photographed landscapes in Scotland. The rocky peak dominates the area and its summit is a touchpoint along The Skye Trail, a popular walking route that can take anything from 5-10 days by foot. The ‘Old Man’ stands in front of the Storr and is scarcely visible from down on the main road. The walk up to it is steep but fairly short. This view from the highest lookout point is the reward. The Cuillin Hils are in the distance..

The graveyard at Trumpan Church, on the Isle of Skye's Waternish Peninsula, the scene of a bloody clan massacre in May 1578. In the battle that followed the MacLeods are said to have unfurled their famed Fairy Flag. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/skye/trumpanchurch/index.html

The graveyard at Trumpan Church. The image shows a mossy gravestone in the centre foreground comprising a Celtic cross on a plinth. It is set in grass and there is a stone wall behind it. Beyond that the ground drops away steeply giving a view of two buildings on a shoreline with sea beyond, and a promontory coming in from the left with cliffs in the distance. The scene is in sunlight.

Divine Skye - Looking down the Trotternish ridge as dawn breaks across the Isle of Skye.

The intense golden hour light floods the landscape with incredible rich warmth, revealing some spectacular colours.

Viewed from the Quiraing, the dawn light picks out the golden slopes of Cleat and Bioda Buidhe with Beinn Edra tucked away in the distance with the early spring buds just beginning to show on the ever enduring rowan.

The very best that this divine landscape has to offer.

Glamaig Hill Race - 25

Saturday 12th July 2025
4.5 Miles, 2500 feet From Sligachan Hotel, Skye Entry fee: £5  Start Time: 3:00 pm

“Glamaig has been described as “one of the toughest races in Scottish hill-running” and although it is classed a short Category A race it is insisted that all competitors must wear or carry windproof and waterproof body cover.”

Glamaig is a Corbett; that is a hill between 2500 and 3000 feet.

#isleofskye #sligachan #walking #running #weather

Glamaig (Scottish Gaelic: Glàmaig) is the northernmost of the Red Hills on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. It lies immediately east of Sligachan. It is one of only two Corbetts on Skye. From many angles the hill resembles a perfect cone of scree, though it is linked to the rest of the Red Hills by way of a bealach, the Bealach na Sgàirde(Pass of the Scree). In 1889, a Gurkha named Harkabir Tharpa scaled Glamaig in 37 minutes; his total time for the round trip, starting and finishing at sea level in the bar of the Sligachan Inn was 55 minutes. Legend has it that he ran it in bare feet, and his record stood until the 1980s, despite being attempted by Olympians such as Chris Brasher in the 1950s. From Sligachan one route of ascent (whether running or hillwalking) is simply to head up the scree aiming for the summit - this climb is very arduous, due to the unrelenting gradient and the slipperiness of the scree. Descent may be made by way of ascent.

Simple sunset. This fleeting moment marks the end of another day. It passes on in a perpetual motion. It is happening now somewhere on earth. This colourful sky brings joy and the night.

#sunset #april #isleofskye #scotland #timepassing

“Sunset (or sundown) is the disappearance of the Sun at the end of the Sun path, below the horizon of the Earth (or any other astronomical object in the Solar System) due to its rotation. As viewed from everywhere on Earth, it is a phenomenon that happens approximately once every 24 hours, except in areas close to the poles. The equinox Sun sets due west at the moment of both the spring and autumn equinoxes. As viewed from the Northern Hemisphere, the Sun sets to the northwest (or not at all) in the spring and summer, and to the southwest in the autumn and winter; these seasons are reversed for the Southern Hemisphere.”

Further to the launch of my new Isle of Skye portfolio, 11-years in the making (https://www.iancylkowski.com/scottish-islands/isle-of-skye), let's highlight a few specific areas.

First, here's 𝗦𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻, one of the first true "wow" factors you come across when on the island. Here you get sweeping panoramas that take in both the Red and Black Cuillins.

There are also loads of rivers in the area, with delightful water features that lend themselves to amazing compositions.

A beautiful scene from Sligachan on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, featuring a lively cascade of water flowing over dark, weathered rocks in the foreground. The light catches the water, giving it a silvery sheen as it tumbles down into a foamy pool. In the middle ground, rugged, orange-brown moorland rises gently, dotted with bushes and a solitary tree clinging to the rocky terrain. Towering in the background are dramatic, snow-capped peaks of the Black Cuillin mountains, partially shrouded in moody clouds, creating a striking contrast against the brighter foreground.

This image, taken at Sligachan on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, captures a lively stream tumbling over dark, rugged rocks, creating a series of small, frothy waterfalls in the foreground. The sunlight glints off the wet stones and water, adding a sparkle to the scene. In the background, the rounded, softer shapes of the Red Cuillins rise against a partly cloudy sky, their peaks bathed in a soft, hazy light that contrasts beautifully with the sharp textures of the moorland and rocks below.

This image, taken at Sligachan on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, shows a charming old stone bridge with three arches spanning a shallow, rocky river under a brilliant blue sky. In the background, the broad, rounded slopes of the Red Cuillins rise steeply, their rugged surface catching the light and partially dusted with snow. The surrounding landscape is a tapestry of golden-brown moorland and patches of rough grass, while a few vehicles and a white building are visible near the roadside, hinting at the area's popularity with visitors.

This image, taken at Sligachan on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, looks towards the brooding Black Cuillins, whose sharp peaks are partly veiled by swirling clouds beneath a vivid blue sky. In the foreground, weathered reddish rocks are dotted with smooth, water-filled potholes, leading the eye towards a gently flowing river sparkling in the sunlight. The scene is bathed in a warm, crisp light that highlights the rugged textures of the rocks and the golden-brown moorland stretching towards the distant mountains.
