Work in IT. It's boring but it pays the bills, but also prevents me spending more time surrounded by nature, taking pictures.

If you didn't photograph it, why did you bother going?

This is my first Bluesky post, so I wanted to give you an idea of what interests me.

Last year we spent a week in Perthshire, near Glenfarg. The cottage looked out over fields with cows and sheep.

Every time I saw this particular cow, it stared at me like this.

Sunday 28 December 1879.

As a storm raged, all passengers and crew aboard the Burntisland to Dundee train died when the 13 central spans of the Tay Bridge collapsed into the river as the train crossed.

This memorial lists the names of those known to be aboard, 146 years ago today.

May they RIP.
