The images on this page were mostly made during my stay in Dumfries, Scotland, from November 2001 to July 2002. Those long winter nights were good for something after all. The end of my stay in Scotland was marred by the theft of my laptop together with the high-resolution originals of many of these pictures. Sighhhhh!! Contents Page Gallery - Page Three Gallery - Page Two Gallery - Page One	A 'cheeky' niecelet.
	A detail of New Abbey near Dumfries.
	Also from Kirkcudbright Harbour, the figures are part of the memorial to fishermen from the area who have been lost at sea.
	This image was made by combining a close-up of a rusty nut and, believe it or not, a picture of the back end of a trawler reflecting in the water of Kirkcudbright harbour.
	The gorse is magnificent in the Dumfries area this year. This picture is interesting in that it wasn't taken with a conventional camera but scanned-in using my flatbed scanner. (April '02)
	This was my response to an assignment we set ourselves in our digital imaging group. The challenge was to create an image which combines text and a picture. For my text I chose the Selkirk Grace by Robert Burns, who spent a lot of his time in the Dumfries & Galloway area.
	I don't actually know what flower this is but I guess it's a sign that spring is finally on the way. Taken at the end of March '02.
	I really like this one but it is not totally original. I belong to a digital imaging group and we were given the sillouetted figures and asked to do something with them.
	The sillouette of the horseman is based on a picture I took of the Royal Scots Greys monument in Princes Street in Edinburgh. The rest is my imagination.
	I took this lone tree one of the times it snowed here in Dumfries. Probably sometime in January '02.
	I hope the Museum of Flight at East Fortune outside Edinburgh will pardon the the liberties I took with their Avro Vulcan Bomber. This machine saw service in the Falklands War and you can see the two mission markings on the nose together with a tiny Brazilian flag commemorating the occasion when the aircraft had to make an emergency stop on the way back from the Falklands and was interned. March '02.
	A section of rusty barn which caught my eye as I passed through Glencaple. Taken in January '02, I think.
	I was really taken with the bright colours on the English Electric Lightning jet fighter at the Museum of Flight at East Fortune near Edinburgh. March '02.
	This was taken on the Road from Dumfries to New Abbey sometime early in '02.

	The two trees. This was taken with my new digital camera on a snowy day in February '02 somewhere along the road between Ae and its forest.
	This is Sarah B..
	I was pretty pleased with the way this one turned out. I started with a picture I'd taken of a detail of the ruin of New Abbey near Dumfries and then 'Photoshopped' it a fair bit. (Taken in January '02)
	I was lying on my bed fiddling with my new digital camera and took this one of the lamp on my bedside table. I liked the colour-cast given by the tungsten bulb so I didn't bother trying to correct it. (February '02)
	This one was taken in January 2002 on the road from Dumfries to Edinburgh near the turnoff to The Forest of Ae.
	The Collie of the Baskervilles.
	I like this image but I cheated a bit on it because it's not totally original. I started out by taking pictures of some packaging and went on from there.You get 10 points if you can guess which packet I used. Click here to find out.
