Category Archives: Travel Photography As my faded memory recalls, pretty much every afternoon at around 3:00 pm, the clouds would build us and a series of thunder storms would roll through. The noise from the rain and thunder rendered our seismic recording an exercise in futility so we’d return to camp, and face the prospect of cooking once again.  As I recall, this was a view to the east across the Angus Glens. I think the glen running through this image is Glen Clova. show 3 comments 
Was this the same time I was
Damned keypad buttons! Was this on your visit to Rob when I was up there too? Must have been after I went home as I don’t recall getting so high up any hill. I do recall going to Glen Clova though.

I’ve also got a photo I think you took of me showing my soaking wet butt from all the water we got in the boat!  Having completed the task we decided to take a day off and hike around Glen Prosen. It was a glorious day and we left early in the morning for our hike, driving as far as the road went before continuing on by foot. In this image, my friend enjoys the view looking back along the glen, the trail we’ve ascended running down on the left. show 1 comment 
[...] the only reason to hike up a hill is to see what’s on the other side. So having hiked up Glen Prosen, this was one of the views we were presented [...]  Doorways and window openings are set in the whitewashed walls. Periodically there are gaps in the roof that allow the passages to breathe and let in light. show 1 comment 
Nice to see a Fan of Ghadames. Cool Pic.  Order a print of this photo So yesterday’s photo was looking at old Ghadames from the outside in. Apart from the shadow of the palm tree there’s little to indicate the lush oasis within the city walls. The city walls protected the oasis. Within the city, in addition to the network of passageways, there’s a… no comments  This photo was taken from just outside the old wall, near the water pool. The white tower and dome is part of one of the mosque complexes in the town – the white paint also serving to reduce the temperature on the inside. show 2 comments

I can imagine when it was new it was a great place to sit and fish or sit and watch the river flow by. But by the time I took this photo it appears it’s best days were behind it. show 1 comment

Why were you stuck with the Olympus XA in Lybia?
This was when I was in Libya in 1984-86. Shortly before I went someone from inside the Libyan embassy in London had shot and killed PC Yvonne Fletcher so relations were tense.
