Just posting my photographs (except reposts). See my #photographics at https://ronaldthain.com and blog at https://idreamedof.wordpress.com #idreamedof

4 boring brown sheds lined up in front of crag covered in a birchwood glowing brilliant green in the spring sunshine.
Colourful image of a gravestone in a village churchyard
An old tyre protects the black, rusty steel hull of a fishing trawler from the blue-painted trawl door hanging over the side.
Blue skies over Cairngorm; a layer of altocumulus fractures the rays beaming down on Glenmore from a glaring sun, now high in the sky in early March. Pity about that weedy birch tree that blocks the view. I could easily have moved to the side to avoid it but I would have had to get up off my rock…
The view from a window, looking across a street to a distant landscape with a vivid, orange sunrise lighting up a winter morning, with snow on the ground. A model ship is displayed on the windowsill, silhouetted against the light and bracketed by seashells.
Dormer window on a derelict wooden summerhouse with a rusty, orange, tin roof with out-of-focus green leaves of a larch tree in the foreground.
A monochromatic image of a rowan tree growing beside a stream in the style of wet-plate photography; shot on iPhone
Sunrise shadow selfie with sailing ship. The dawn rises over the hills, casting a warm light on the wall, and the shadow of a model sailing boat which sits on the windowsill. I step into the frame and angle my iphone to capture a self portrait composition.
A monochromatic photograph where the frame is divided into quadrants of varying tones and textures. The elements: a tall aluminium pole feeds fibre optic cables to the street, below a dark and threatening mid-day sky with a fleet of lenticular clouds scudding by in the distance.
Seeing ‘faces’ in weathered stone near Albany, Western Australia. An effect referred to as pareidolia.
Still life with fork and fish-knife; scan of 35mm film negative.
A pale blue boat - matching the colour of the sky - heads out to sea from Ucluelet on Vancouver Island’s west coast, on a sunny day. It stands out against the dark green wooded hillside which is silhouetted against the sky, and all is perfectly reflected on the surface of a flat, calm sea.
A black and white photograph of birch trees in winter, taken looking up, directly overhead. The sky has mottled clouds.
A streetlight shines through the bare branches of the trees, illuminating a snow-covered street in the early hours before the morning traffic breaks through the drift in this monochromatic photograph.
A panoramic photo of the Cairngorm plateau, Highlands of Scotland. The summit of Cairngorm is hidden as a cold misty rain drifts across the face of the northern corries.
Evening light catches the tops of a group of pine trees which appear to be growing out of a rough stone wall at Loch an Eilein.
Colourful but neglected-looking lamp posts on a footpath in the snow; the nearest has cracked and peeling blue paint.
The moon shines through hazy clouds in a dark sky
