Ghost is great as there are no one else's algorithms getting in the way. Ghost web sites look great on mobile, so looking forward to reading T.E.M. on the move.

Nice one, I've been using Ghost for my website for a year or so, I love it's speed and simplicity.

Another image from last weeks trip up the West Coast of Scotland, when the fog started burning off thirty minutes after sunrise near Loch Cluanie #landscapephotography #mist #scotland

Applecross, where the Highlands meet the tide.

One moment you’re tracing the curve of the coastline, the next you’re watching a herd of deer step onto the beach. #scotland #landscape #wildlife #beach

A great read Ben, always wonderful to hear that noise bouncing around the hills, especially in the mist.

Just published 🙂 I've been wanting to write about the rut for years but never had the piccies to back it up till last autum 🦌. It certainly helps when it's happening right outside your house.

In his latest column, @countrysideben.bsky.social listens to one of the most dramatic sounds and spectacles of the Highlands.

After last nights cloudy moonrise, it was nice to see the moon lift off above The Bass Rock tonight, with Lamb Island and Fidra joining in the almost full moon party.

Aweful service you got there.
I had a bad experince on my last trip to Birmingham down the West coast on LNER, it stopped at Carlisle, power line issues, had to get a train to Newcastle to New Street and had to stay overnight as a result.
Broken Britain :(

Mo Thomson @mothomson.bsky.social · Jul 16

The loud screeching train noise and smoke from diesel trains is rather nasty at the bottom of new street.
Hope the services ran ok.

Did you catch last nights full moon ?

The skies were mostly clear and it was quite warm for a wee change.
