If you would like to see them, there are about fifty photos from Colonsay on flickr.
From the ferry, just before we docked at Colonsay.
Our small washing line, just outside my window.
Tools and such. We were working round this area to start with, pulling griselinia, chopping rhododendron ponticum. The haze is smoke from our bonfire.
I have been thinking about my, like, philosophy of photography. I don't generally take pictures of other people, because I know I don't like having my picture taken and I just assume other people hate it as well. But when I take landscape photos, I like having man-made things in. Like, I was going to take a picture of a hill, and then a tractor started coming down the track, and I was delighted. I like juxtapositions, and combinations. I also like water, and reflections, and clouds, and shadows, and broken things. I like the play of light. I guess for some of that, it is the idea of capturing an instant, because things change from one minute to the next, and even if someone is standing right where I did, they still won't get exactly the same picture.
