Or not, depending on my mood
A slightly fuzzy/ grainy image of the River Ness at night, taken with my phone from the middle of the Grieg Street footbridge as I was walking home from work in the rain the other night 🙂
PS I haven’t used my camera in a while so currently have nothing on my SD card to show!
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week asks for city structures, so here is a view of the City of Inverness in the North of Scotland, taken from the River Ness. Within this view we have several buildings including businesses and homes, a couple of churches and a castle, and a road bridge crossing the river, taken tonight on my way home from work 🙂
I’m not sure how much longer the Ness Bridge over the River Ness (that runs through the centre of Inverness) will be lit up with festive lights, so I went out for a walk last night to capture the last of the colours refelected in the fast-flowing water, using a long exposure to smooth out the ripples along the surface 🙂
Lighting up the River Ness in Inverness – the lights on the bridge change regularly, creating a kind of light show of reflections along the fast-flowing river underneath, whereas the street lights along the river bank throw long fingers of light across the water from bank to bank 🙂
Over the Christmas period Ness Bridge in Inverness is lit up in many different alternating colours – my favourite combination is this particularly bright multi-coloured view, especially the way the lights reflect so spectacularly in the fast-flowing river 🙂
An atmospheric city skyline across the River Ness in Inverness, looking from Bridge Street over towards Huntly Street, taken tonight on my way home from the hospital after visiting dad.
There had been a beautiful orange sunset, and this moody, darkening pink and purple sky was all that remained by the time I reached the river 🙂
At this time of year it can still be slightly dark when I walk to work – this was taken the other morning on the footbridge crossing the River Ness. I love the semi-silhouette of the skyline, the greys and whites of the sky and water, and the different blacks of the buildings. Even in full colour there’s a calming monochrome quality to the view…
So I’m going to cheat and use my post for both today’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday and this week’s Cee’s B&W Challenge 🙂
My commute to work consists of a pleasant 10 minute walk from my house to the river, a quick one minute walk across a beautiful Victorian suspension footbridge (from where I took this image), then a 10 minute walk through the town centre to the local shopping mall where I work part time in a small women’s clothes store 🙂
Sunshine on water for this week’s Water Water Everywhere 🙂
