One of the #otters “ottering” about in front of M&D’s house, fishing and “muddying” along the sides for fry.

Now a gorgeous afternoon after what was a very dreich morning before Church.

Bridges, piers, old buildings, promenades, beaches and beautiful scenery. South Queensferry has them all, and oh, how I wish I could have stayed there longer.

I explored South Queensferry, where the Forth railway bridge is stunning. I remembered it from Molly and Mack on CBeebies TV, which I watched with my grandson. Who else saw the programme back then?

Out on a Sunday drive looking for the last of the weekend's freedom, and maybe a sunset over the #RiverForth. Instead, spotted #HMSQueenElizabeth slinking out of Rosyth dockyard under the cover of a #rainbow in preparation for moving on elsewhere.
The Royal Navy's aircraft carrier 'HMS Queen Elizabeth' anchored in the Firth of Forth after leaving Rosyth dockyard. An intense double rainbow pens the vessel in as it sits stationary on the water. No pot of gold at the end of this rainbow, just a tug boat. The Royal Navy's aircraft carrier 'HMS Queen Elizabeth' anchored in the Firth of Forth after leaving Rosyth dockyard. An intense rainbow is on the water next to the large vessel and a smaller tug boat is captured in its coloured bands. The Royal Navy's aircraft carrier 'HMS Queen Elizabeth' anchored in the Firth of Forth after leaving Rosyth dockyard. Before moving on, it will negotiate the three river crossings alos pictured here in the evening sunlight - The Queensferry Crossing, The Forth Road Bridge, and the iconic red girdered and riveted Forth Bridge.

Watching a sliver of a sunset down by the water. Camera wasn't ready to catch the seal that came by and snorted its indifference at me, but appreciated a few moments of #Twixmas calm down at the old harbour.

May the Forth Be With You. Alloa ways.

Trying out some non-AI compositing on a favourite photo of mine from back in Dec 2022. Taken from the old #Alloa harbour and looking up the #RiverForth to #Stirling at sunset.

2nd post with #BTS video

#MayTheFourth #DigitalArt #BehindTheScenes
A digital image created form an original sunset shot of the view along the River Forth in Alloa and towards the City of Stirling. Stirling Castle has become enveloped in futuristic buildings at twilight. Everything is cast in orange light. A flock of geese are flying in low over a single fishing boat facing into the centre of the view. Some Star Wars spacecraft are flying into the scene and behind the clouds and faded thorugh the atmosphere a giant Death Star sits on the horizon.

New buoy appeared at a favourite #Photogrpahy spot on the #RiverForth near #Alloa harbour. Not sure if it's just a marker or if it's monitoring oxygen levels as they have done here in the past. Either way, there seems to be enough to keep the seals coming back for a feed. A bit camera shy though.
A calming photograph of a River scene just after a winter sunset. Two anchored fishing boats on the left of the frame point towards the city skyline of Stirling, Scotland as the lights begin to flicker on. A small black shape shows next to the boats, as a seal surfaces to breath and swims towards them.

Almost a full beaver shot.

Moonrise reflected in the #RiverForth and above the #WallaceMonument as I left work behind for the week.

Full #BeaverMoon appears tomorrow, but clouds forecast here.

An atmospheric pink tinged photograph taken not long after sunset and the almost synchronised moonrise. Shot at a low angle from the edge of the River Forth as it winds east and towards the Abbey Craig with the Wallace Monument and almost full 'Beaver Moon' reflected in the still waters. Framed by autumnal trees becoming more bare as most of their foliage has now fallen

Stirling Old Bridge last summer — stone arches, quiet water, and a sky bright enough to paint the river blue. #Scotland #Nature #RiverForth #Summer

A sunny winter walk to Stirling Old Bridge yesterday.
Noticed the riverbank plants had been cut back — maybe it’s been a while since our last visit.
The light at 1pm already felt like late summer evening, with darkness coming by 3. 🌉❄️ #scotland #riverforth #winter

Guarding the River, Stirling Castle. #Castles #Stirling #RiverForth #Scotland #Monochrome #BlackAndWhite #Photography
Black and white photograph taken from the walls of Stirling Castle. The image is dominated by an attractively-roofed guard turret, just left of centre-frame, that protrudes from the top of a wall extending from the foreground in the lower-left of frame. In the distance, far below, and occupying the right-hand side of the image, a narrow river winds through a grassy and lightly wooded landscape. This is the River Forth, more-or-less where the Battle of Stirling Bridge was fought in 1297. The battle was a decisive victory for William Wallace against the forces of England's King Edward I under the command of John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey. At the start of the battle, the castle was occupied by the English, but was recaptured by the Scots shortly thereafter. The defences shown in the image post-date these events by a few centuries.
