On the back road from Dingwall to Tore. A real autumn shot this one.
The MTB racing season is over and we have a few weeks before the winter cyclocross programme kicks in.
Time for a walk along the beach, with a jump bike, and the opportunity to remember that cycling can be fun, as well as deadly serious....
Oh - and he won the Scottish SXC 2006 series in Aviemore yesterday, and has been picked for the Scotland 2007 Talent team.
For the sunsets on the 23/9/2006 group.
Has a feel of the Charles River in this shot.
Its 29 years since I arrived as a fresher at the GSA, and 25 since I sat on these steps having my picture taken just after final exams.....

I must investigate further........
Cromarty East Church has made it to the final of the BBC Restoration programme, as the the runner up with the most votes.

At the Nigg oil Terminal
Mist under the BBC Transmitter at Learnie Hill, Black Isle, snapped as I drove home.
The second Beatrice Windturbine assembled at Nigg, with the Cromarty Rose passing in front.
Interesting image - Cromarty Harbour is full of Cuddies - young Saithe or Coalfish.
As the summer draws to an end, a couple more rigs have appeared back in the Firth, and late August is a neat time for sunset shots.
Interestingly a Blogger who is up in Inverness next week speaking at the Gohi Music/Creative Industries event - organised by my team in the office - picked up on this image, and the Scotland Blog from Flickr......
