Necropolis, Glasgow

I love walking around this place. Another interesting place, I really must be a little morbid as I always find myself drawn to dead places :)

At the bottom of the graveyard

Taken in St Mary's Church of Ireland in Comber. I didn't realise this place had such an interesting graveyard at the back until my mother in law took Arran for a walk one day. I was fascinated with all the old graves and the stories on some of them. I really must wrap up warm and go back for another shot or two :)

Dunure Castle at Sunset

This is the shot that made me realise I wanted to get into photography more. It was one of my first shots and even though now I can see so many mistakes in it, I still like it :)

Well this is the said Light Boat. Tucked away at Mahee Island, about 15 minutes drive from my house.

Another little gem hidden in Down. So much to see from the sight as you can see the Ballydorn lighthouse boat, I'll dig out a shot of that next I think.

St John's Point Lighthouse, Killough


St John's Point, originally uploaded by xxx zos xxx.

Being born and reared only 20 minutes from this wondrous lighthouse and it took a Scottish visitor to tell me it was there.

I have about 50 shots of this lighthouse and only about 2 of them I'm happy with, this being one of them. I really need to make another trip down there and this time try not to fall in the rock pools :)

Epcot - Walt Disney World


Epcot - Walt Disney World, originally uploaded by xxx zos xxx.

This seems to be one of my most popular shots on Flickr. I think it's as it's featured at www.zvents.com/lake-buena-vista-fl/venues/show/452735-epcot

With over 9,900 views it seems to be a hit. I took it on our trip to Florida in 2007. I really want to return but want to wait until Arran is old enough to enjoy all the roller coasters with us. I think the most annoying thing about this shot is the fact that I never got to see in the golf ball. It was closed for redecorating. I was not amused lol

.........and so it begins


........., originally uploaded by xxx zos xxx.

Well this is my first blog post. I set this up for a few reasons. One of which being I wanted to record my favourite photos in some shape or form and this seems as good a place as any.

I'm not a professional and nor do I claim to be. I'm just a normal 33 year old mum of one. I found the photography bug purely by chance and I seem to have the eye for things I think would photograph well.

This shot was taken a five minute drive from my new home. A place called Islandhill. I find it an ever changing scene, depending on the tides and seasons it can be as dramatic as this.

I hope you like it x
