Lone tree, road to Shieldag on the A896, Western Highlands, Scotland. Taking a week to tour the NorthCoast500 route around the Scottish Highlands. Day 1 on the route and Abigail, the first storm of the season is battering the North Scotland, right where we are with 90mph winds, rain and snow forecasted for the next 24hours. The winds are howling through the gaps of the window of our hotel in Poolewe, holed up here for to sit out the Amber warning. We will have to change our itinerary. The scenery is astounding. More later.

Commonscapes 15 – October

Continuing on my personal long term Commonscapes series, here are a few more photographs made this morning in Wimbledon Common. There are parts of this vast forest I have not been to, and these scenes were from an area new to me. The colours are simply amazing, it would have been lost if these were in black and white, like some of the earlier images in the series.

You know that Autumn is here when the leaves begin to brown and fall, and when the sun sets a little earlier day by day.  October brings about a special light at dusk, when the sun sinks over the horizon, drawing long shadows and the air remains chilly. Caught this surfer heading out to join his mates on Sandown beach, on the Isle of Wight, with the pier in the background.

Just over 40 days time the world will be transfixed once more with the FIFA World Cup 2014 starting on June, 12. With 32 finalist nations in 8 Groups, Brazil, the host country is surely a firm favourite at 3/1 odds and Spain coming second at 7/1. The World Cup unites sports fans all around the world like no other world event, and it would be a great moment of distraction from the many conflicts, disasters and wars across many regions.
