“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything” - Lois Greenfield
As the first light of dawn breaks over the horizon, the sky above Rattray Head begins to blush with soft hues of amber, rose, and lavender. The North Sea, calm and reflective in the early morning, mirrors the pastel sky, while gentle waves lap against the shore.
The sand dunes, golden and windswept, stretch out like rolling hills, their curves catching the low sun and casting long, delicate shadows. Tufts of marram grass sway gently in the breeze, their tips glowing in the morning light.
In the distance, the Rattray Head Lighthouse stands proud and solitary, its white tower glowing faintly in the sun’s first rays. Surrounded by water at high tide, it appears almost ethereal—like a sentinel watching over the coast.
The air is crisp, filled with the scent of salt and seaweed, and the only sounds are the distant cries of seabirds and the rhythmic whisper of the waves. It’s a moment of peace, where time seems to pause, and nature quietly unveils its daily masterpiece.
Nestled in the heart of the Cairngorms, Braemar Castle stands proudly on a grassy rise, its whitewashed walls and turreted towers framed by vibrant woodland and Highland hills. A 17th-century fortress with a rich Jacobite past, it offers visitors a unique glimpse into Scotland’s storied heritage amid breathtaking scenery.
Rising from the wooded hills of Aberdeenshire, Craigievar Castle is a fairytale vision in soft pink stone. A masterpiece of Scottish Baronial architecture, its turrets, conical roofs, and intricate stonework evoke centuries of history and romance. Surrounded by lush greenery and ancient woodland, the castle’s enchanting silhouette stands against a backdrop of forested hills and clear Highland skies—an iconic gem of Scotland’s architectural heritage.
A peaceful winter scene in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The historic stone arches of Potarch Bridge span the River Dee, glowing in the soft sunlight. Snow-dusted banks, calm reflections, and a splash of red from the riverside cottage complete the picture.
As summer fades, Braemar transforms into a tapestry of gold, amber, and russet. Nestled in a Highland valley, the village is surrounded by rolling hills and rugged mountains, their slopes ablaze with autumn foliage. A gentle river winds through the landscape, mirroring the soft light of the season beneath a sky brushed with low-lying clouds. The crisp air and tranquil scenery create a sense of quiet magic—an invitation to slow down and savour the changing rhythms of nature

The horses that roam in the hills outside Braemar are used for bringing the stags back from a hunt and to see them in the hills is just a fabulous experience.
One of three native breeds of the Highlands and islands, the Highland pony was originally bred to be strong and hardy enough not only to carry 17-stone stags, but to haul timber and provisions.
“A horse is the projection of peoples’ dreams about themselves – strong, powerful, beautiful – and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence”
– Pam Brown
South Korea is a country that never seems to get the levels of interest in photography halls, though it has the most diverse landscapes you could ever imagine.

This ranges from the world's driest desert - the Atacama - in the north, through a Mediterranean climate in the centre, to a snow-prone Alpine climate in the south, with glaciers, fjords and lakes.
“Softly the evening came. The sun from the western horizon like a magician extended his golden wand o'er the landscape; Twinkling vapors arose; and sky and water and forest seemed all on fire at the touch, and melted and mingled together” - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
