Exploring Ballantrae, Ayrshire, Scotland, United Kingdom
Ballantrae is a small, rural parish located at the mouth of the River Stinchar in southwest Ayrshire. Ballantrae is a pretty town located just north of the ferry to Ireland.
I visited Ballantrae because some siblings of my great great grandfather spent the last several years of their lives there.
Like other rural Scottish parishes, Ballantrae features a handful of castles and estates, ruins sites, historic sites and walking paths. It also features nice views of Ailsa Craig, an island that rises steeply out of the Firth of Clyde about ten miles offshore.
Robert Louis Stevenson used Ballantrae as the setting for his novel The Master of Ballantrae.

Glasgow Scotland - Moments of Charm
Glasgow Scotland - Moments of Charm
Glasgow is the biggest city in Scotland. Located at the west end of Scotland's Central Belt on the banks of the River Clyde, Glasgow's historical importance as Scotland's main industrial centre has been challenged by decades of change and various regeneration efforts. It's famed for its Victorian and art nouveau architecture, a rich legacy of the city's 18th–20th-century prosperity due to trade and shipbuilding. Today it's a national cultural hub, home to institutions including the Scottish Opera, Scottish Ballet and National Theatre of Scotland, as well as acclaimed museums and a thriving music scene.
The City Centre (known as town or the toon to locals) is bounded by the M8 motorway to the north and west, High Street to the east, and the River Clyde to the south. This is the area where most visitors will start, and the most notable elements are the grid plan of streets and the lavish Victorian and Edwardian buildings and civic squares which give the area much of its character. The main arteries of the City Centre are Argyle Street and Sauchiehall Street which both run on an east-west axis. They are linked by Buchanan Street which runs north-south. Together, these three streets form the main shopping thoroughfares.
The eastern side of the City Centre is a sub-district known as Merchant City, which contains Glasgow's original medieval core, centred around the Glasgow Cross (the junction of Trongate, Saltmarket, High Street, Gallowgate and London Road). Merchant City extends up to George Square, with many ornate buildings that date back to Glasgow's emergence as an industrial city. High Street north of the Glasgow Cross is the main artery of Old Glasgow and leads uphill to the Glasgow Cathedral and the Necropolis cemetery.
The western area of the City Centre contains the city's core commercial and business district and is dominated by Blythswood Hill, which is centred around Blythswood Square. Running parallel to Sauchiehall Street, Bath Street is the main route into the neighbourhood and has a rich mix of independent shops and bars, as well as distinctive Georgian town house style architecture. South of Blythswood Hill is the city's financial district, with many modern glass and steel office buildings which stand alongside their classical counterparts. Further south, on the north bank of the River Clyde is the district of Anderston.
To the west of the City Centre, no official definition of where the West End boundary line exists, but it can roughly be defined as being bounded by the M8 motorway to the east, Great Western Road to the north, the River Clyde to the South and Crow Road to the west. The nucleus of the area is undoubtedly the neo-Gothic University of Glasgow, which acts as the anchor for this bohemian district, with its lovely architecture, tree lined streets and quaint shopping areas.
The primary east-west artery is Argyle Street/Dumbarton Road, while Byres Road is the main north-south artery and contains a number of independent shops, bars and restaurants. Ashton Lane connects Byres Road to the University campus and is a cobbled backstreet with distinctive whitewashed buildings, holding an eclectic mix of bars and eateries that make it a tourist hotspot.

Landscape Photography: Moel Siabod Sunrise, Snowdonia (Ep #090)
Making the most of the Easter heatwave for some landscape photography, I head up to the summit of Moel Siabod at Capel Curig, Snowdonia. Starting out with a glorious sunrise looking down the valley to Betws y Coed, I then head up to the old quarry workings to photograph the mountain lakes. Followed by a final scramble to the summit up the ridge of Daear Ddu.

Snow falls in Edinburgh
While heavy snowfall across Scotland caused widespread school closures, these pupils in Edinburgh sought an alternative way to get to class - on a sledge.
As the country woke to blizzards and up to 10cm of snow in higher regions, some schools were forced to close their doors.
A total of 25 schools in Dumfries and Galloway and the Borders were shut while four primary schools and three nurseries in Fife were also closed for the day.

Art Cargo Symposium: Keynote - John Mateer
ART CARGO: CURRENT VISUAL ART TRENDS IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Presented by Artsource and UWA Cultural Precinct on 5 November 2016, Art Cargo brought together industry speakers to discuss trends in the visual arts industry in Western Australia and its Indian Ocean neighbours. Examining recent locally produced art and the relationships forged by travel and the trading of ideas, questions were discussed about how has travel and trade in the past shaped the identity of Western Australia and its art? Does WA art have strong affinities with art in other cultures or communities? Are there potentially stronger affinities to explore than the one with the eastern states?
“Art is a magical cargo, a means of diplomacy and a survival skill.”
- John Mateer, Keynote.

REST AND BE THANKFUL
Glen Croe (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann a' Chrò) is a glen in the heart of the Arrochar Alps surrounded by large and rugged mountains characterised by huge boulders. Glen Croe is located to the North West of Loch Lomond and Loch Long, the latter of which it drains into. At the head of the glen is the pass leading to Glen Kinglas. The A83 road runs the length of the valley, passing the viewpoint known as Rest-and-be-thankful. Glen Croe is situated entirely within the Argyll Forest Park.
The old road through the glen seen in the photograph is part of the Military Road that ran from Dumbarton to Inveraray. This was built in the 1740s under the supervision of Major William Caulfield and a stone inscribed Rest & Be Thankful was erected around 1749, after this section road was completed. From 1949 until 1970 motor racing events, including hill climbs and rally stages took place here
Night timelapse of Memorial Bridge between Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Kittery, Maine
The Memorial Bridge on Route 1 crosses the Piscataqua River between Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Badger’s Island in Kittery, Maine. It is a through truss lift bridge with a 300 foot mid-span that can be raised to ~150 feet at mean high tide for large boats to pass underneath. The original bridge was built between 1920 and 1923 and was dedicated as a memorial to sailors and soldiers of New Hampshire who participated in World War I. In 2012, it was demolished and replaced with a new bridge of similar appearance over the next 18 months. However, the new bridge features several engineering advancements and was the first gussetless truss bridge in the world, also incorporating cold bending of steel and placing the machine rooms out of view underneath the bridge. The giant chains attached to the concrete counterweights in the towers are a dynamic counter balance to the 64 steel cables that raise the bridge. As the length and weight of the cables attached to the bridge increases and decreases during operation, the chain length and weight counterbalances. Each link on the giant chains weighs 170lbs! Former eight-term mayor of Portsmouth, Eileen Foley, who had cut the ribbon at the 1923 opening ceremony of the original bridge when she was 5, tied two ribbons together for the closing ceremony in 2011. In 2013, she again cut the red ribbon for the opening of the replacement bridge, 90 years after the original dedication.
The bridge is lit from the top down with 52-watt energy-saving color LED streetlights (red, green, magenta, and blue) that have sixteen programmed scenes, from solid and changing color scenes to a program that matches the tides with a gradual flow of light from the base of the towers to the top. The lighting design received input and advice from the International Dark-Sky Association to avoid excessive light pollution in the sky.
On March 29, 2015, I took a timelapse video of the bridge and the tide from Four Tree Island with Steff Rahaim. High tide was at 08:39 PM and low tide at 02:36 AM. One of the reasons we chose this night and location was to capture the tide going out with a 75% waxing gibbous moon at our back to light the foreground. The weather forecast was also supposed to be mostly clear until 3-4 AM and then heavily overcast by sunrise. We started shortly after sunset at 7:10 PM and shot until the batteries died at almost 5 AM with a Ramper Pro for the exposure ramping. The temperature got down to 20° F overnight and I used a dew heater on the lens, so the battery didn’t last until sunrise. An hour later I was driving home in a snowstorm anyway!
About 9:50 PM (00:21 seconds into the timelapse video), as we were eating pizza and chatting about photography, we were elated to see the bridge rise to almost full height for a large ship and a tugboat to pass through. A short while later it briefly raised again partway for the tugboat to return. Around 1 AM I recorded some ambient surround sound with a Zoom H2n audio recorder of the ducks, seagulls, and the background hum of the naval base and city (traffic and a dump truck that can be heard faintly). I don’t think Youtube will play the surround sound though, only stereo.
The source footage is almost 8K at 7360 x 4912, 30fps, 12-bit CineForm 444. Contact me for commercial licensing.
Camera settings: 38mm, f/2.8, ISO 64 – 2000, 1/125 to 3 seconds (ISO & shutter ramped with a Ramper Pro), manual focus, manual white balance (ramped later via LRTimelapse), 15 second interval, 2,346 photos total.
Hardware used: Nikon D810, Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8, Ramper Pro, Goal Zero Sherpa 100, DewNet heater strip & Dew Buster controller, Really Right Stuff TVC-34L tripod, leveling base, and BH-40 ball head. 24-bit, 48kHz audio recorded with a Zoom H2n in 4 channel mode.
Software used: RAW conversion via Lightroom & LRTimelapse to 16-bit TIFFs, rendered to CineForm 444 with After Effects, surround audio mixed with Audition, and final export to 4K with H.264 compression for the web via Premiere Pro & Adobe Media Encoder.
