After reading Patrick Smith‘s book Learning Landscape Photography from the Masters of Painting, I was inspired to run out and shoot some more landscapes.  So, I went to nearby Hazlehead Park.  It was a misty morning. This was one of my favorites from that day.

Here’s a more beautiful view of one of The Kelpies.  There is a nice little canal that flows past.

Driving down the road in Falkirk, Scotland looks like you’re approaching a chess game of the gods.  Rising above the horizon are two horse heads that are as big as a 9 story building (30m).  They are due to open to the public in April of 2014.  They are the creation Scotland’s own artist, Andy Scott.  I hope to be there for the official opening.

Here is a photo of one of The Kelpies close up.  Notice the size of the worker…

What do you do to get noticed?  Is it a balancing act?  This performer in Glasgow, Scotland grabs attention by risking catastrophe.  Regular art won’t cut it.  We’ve all seen/heard that.  We want to be amazed!

Heading into a mall in Glasgow, Scotland, the kids found this enticing escalator. The colors changed every 10 seconds or so.  It was quite a sight!

We always enjoy hiking around the lower hills of the Scottish Highlands.  The sun goes behind the hills quite early this time of year.

I love how there was a little mist in the afternoon.  Combined with the snow in the forest, it was serene.
