This is one of the times that what I thought the photo was going to be about – a steamy coffee shop window – turned into being about the man’s hands and the way their position echos the way his feet are placed.
It just goes to show…something.

station dogs
It seems odd now to think back on the times – which weren’t that long ago – when I just didn’t take pictures of people. I had no interest in it and would actively avoid scenes that were tainted by humans (and/or dogs).
Obviously, I have gotten over that and being in busy urban environments with my camera in hand is actually something that I enjoy a great deal. And a Saturday afternoon at a busy train station was the perfect location to get some images with people in them…

behind the shops
Why, yes! I did turn down a small passageway behind some shops. How else would I have known that the slats in the reflection were generally parallel to the handrail on the steps?

three arches over the River Sligachan
According to legend, if you stick your face in the water under the bridge, hold it there for seven seconds, and then let it dry naturally, you’ll be blessed with eternal beauty.
Instead of doing that (because it was cold AF)(and also because I didn’t know the legend at the time)(but mostly because it was cold), I opted to make a few photos of the fast-flowing water under the stone arches of the bridge. (It was built between 1810 and 1818.)

claws
This was in the old part of the graveyard, the part my friend Kim called “Creepytown.” I was glad we were there in the autumn: a summer view from this spot would be very different and less creepy. And way less of something I’d want to photograph.
