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…

waterfront

It might look too pretty to be real. But I promise you that Tobermory really IS this lovely.

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?

sun ignores the graveyard

While it would have been nice to have some sun shining on these old gravestones, I will admit that it was a lot prettier to see that patch of sunlight across the Sound of Mull.

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.)
