Motion Abstracts
I’m enjoying the results of this camera movement technique. Really like the abstract feel to the images. Must be getting arty f***y in my old age!
Harry Potter and Alnwick Castle
Just a few pics of Alnwick Castle tbh, but it is the home of Harry Potter apparently. Good enough for me…

The church is no longer in use and is now a private dwelling. This accounts for the photos being of one side of the church only as the other… Continue reading Holywood Parish Church, near Dumfries, Scotland
