My cool new Camera

Before I went away I went out, or sat on the computer, and bought off ebay a cool Canon Camera. It is called the Canoon A-1. It is really cool. All Manual and state of the art, for the 80's that is. But in the end it is cheap. Ill try and get some more cool lenses for it as well.

What I Saw...


Near the top of Arthurs Seat, next to Edinburgh

This is the remains of a volcanic outcropping, similar to the one that Edinburgh is situated on, only bigger. We went for a walk to the top of the seat, got to the top, then discovered that there was a much easier rout to the top. Sarah was very proud of herself for reaching the top. With the view taken in it was time to go and catch up with Vicki for a drink! On the way down I nearly stacked it and Sarah slipped onto her bottom.



Dolphins of Moray Firth

This was a piture that Sarah snapped on her camera of the Dolphins of Moray Firth. We went and looked for the dolphins the day before but had no such luck, well Sarah said that she saw one but I didn't believe her, what with my eagle eyes... We went back the next day and discovered that the dolphins were just sitting in the current about 15m off shore. Because of the large tidal movements there is quite a strong current that swings around the headland, so all teh dolphons have to do is to sit in the waves and wait for food to come to them. We watched them for nearly an hour before heading off for Edinburgh.



Birthday Cake at Aunty Janices

Aunty Janice meade me a jelly and cream cake. It was really nice. Now I am old :(



My new Car/Tractor

While we were walking near Aunty Janices we came across the remains of this cool old tracktor/jeep. It was a different change from all the, what seemed like endless when you are walking along, Heather. I ended up walking to these Lochs and then to the top of the hill where there wasa monument to the Local Lord and Lady of the area. I think the oones that built the village.



Bridge on way to Applecross

The road to Applecross was single track, think little hartley, but up the side of the mountain. The views were spectacular.



Plockton main Jetty

The first night in Plockton I woke up really early, programming form getting up early for work, so I decided to go for a walk with my new camera. The sun was just getting up so I took a few photos of Plockton in the morning light.
