Glasgow Christmas Carnival

Went to Glasgow today to see the Glasgow Christmas Carnival makes it way through the Style mile.

A great atmosphere as you would expect and all the kids seemed to be having a great time.

Much music with bands and drums throughout the procession.

Santa of course made an appearance much to the delight of the children.

Another Wee Trip to Arran

After my last trip to Arran last month it was obvious I hadn't scratched the surface.

So another visit was planned and this time the car was coming on the ferry to give more flexibility.

Once again blessed with some fine sunshine and difficult to believe we are only weeks away from Christmas.

Even with the car, and getting to different locations, this island will need at least one other visit to explore a bit more and capture more images of the scenery and landscape.

Spring beckons and plans are afoot already, so watch this space.

Kelpies at Night

Heading home from Bo'ness I popped in to the Helix Park to get a few night images of the Kelpies sculptures.

It was surprisingly busy, not only with photographers like myself, but dog walkers and families were also taking in the spectacle.
