Closeburn near Thornhill this time. Former parish church re-built 1741 including the remains of its predecessor and in use until 1878. Norman fragments remain. A 10th century cross-shaft and grave slabs of similar date have been found.

I am a photographer/ poet from Dumfries in South West Scotland. I concentrate on minimalist images and prefer using an iPhone these days. As far as my writing is concerned, I usually write short poems (some in Scots dialect), hence my interest in haiku and related forms.
