the way I see the world
I’ve not posted photos here from our current trip, since I blog over at my travel site, but here, have a few just for fun. (And visit http://pmtravelingtimes.com if you want to read about what we are up to. You can start on November 18 if you want to start from the very beginning.)
I am going through our Great Glen Way walk photos. The majority of what I did was on the iPhone, as I was mostly documenting things and then blogging each evening on my pmtravelingtimes site. iPhone photos are just fine for a blog. When it comes to quality prints, the majority wouldn’t be great. But I think they would work for cards, so maybe I’ll eventually put together a Scotland box. You never know.
Anyway, I’m now on the day we were going from Invermoriston to Drumnadrochit (well, we were actually staying in Lewiston, but they are nearly one and the same). It was an amazing walk! Here are just a few iPhone shots I wanted to share.
And oh how I want to go right back! I mean LOOK at these shots! Ahhhh … so green!
We start our walk soon and yesterday (or perhaps today if you are in certain parts of the world!) I checked a bit of it out. If you want to follow along go to pmtravelingtimes.com to read and see photos.
I’m not a huge fan of graffiti. In fact I usually despise it. But in some cities in Europe it seems to be an accepted thing. (Would Bologna be Bologna without all the graffiti?!) So yes, I do go ahead and shoot it sometimes.
Dan posted a photo from our big 2023 Europe trip and it got me thinking: I’ve barely looked at what I shot! Mostly I did iPhone photos, because I’m sort of lazy that way, but I did occasionally use the Fuji as well and this one is one of the “good camera” photos. The colors just caught my eye.
We went to the Coast yesterday with Greg (my brother) and Jan (his wife). It’s a favorite place for them, and we had heard that we were in for some pretty crazy surf. It was just a perfect day: not cold, not too windy, yet the waves … well … amazing!

Dan has been revisiting his work from Paris, so that got me looking at my old stuff. I’m not at a point where I’ll be sharing anything from the good camera, but when I saw this iPhone shot it just made me smile. Yes, I cut off the top of the clock … I was standing in a spot that did that no matter what. There were so many people taking photos I had to quickly snap some while no one was standing in front of the clock … that didn’t happen very often!
