A cluster of crimson roses catches the sunlight, standing vivid before the softly blurred dome of the Khoja Ahmad Yassavi Mosque beneath a clear blue sky.

Are you putting an offer in Steve 😁
People can spend their money on whatever they like as long as it's legal. But my god that is hideous!
Does Cinderella live there 🤔

💯 where would you start marra.
My phone probably has more processing power than the whole of the Maths & Computing department when I first started college 40+ years ago!

😂😂 thanks Dougal 😊

Thank you Mr G 🙏

Mick Lister @listermj.bsky.social · 11h

Thanks Alan for the explanation, requires some kit and skill way beyond me marra. Think I'll stick with the phone for these types of shots!
Isn't it incredible the technology in a phone that allows this type of photography to be accessible to everyone.

Peace & tranquility in the H household then. No doubt you'll both be raring to go again tomorrow 🤔

Thanks marra, glad we decided to have a wander by the area.
Difficult to say, but at least the height of one to two houses. Impressive all the same.

Thanks Alan marra 🙏.
Another place I'd never been to before on Mull. Most will drive past and understandably head for Tobermory.
This was taken with my phone using one of the long exposure templates. Thought I'd see how it turned out.
I'm slowly experimenting with settings on my camera as well.

Thanks Rob. Mull is definitely a favourite of mine.

Almost a half marathon Alan, half-decent for an old timer 😀. Hope that Sam could keep up with you!

Definitely not me marrah 😀

That's brilliant to be so close. I'm about 7 miles to the northern boundary of the Lake District National Park, 20 miles Keswick, 30 miles Grasmere.
There's no way I could afford a house in the national park!

#WaterfallWednesday
Aros Park Upper Falls, near Tobermory, Isle of Mull, Inner Hebrides, Scotland (September 2025)
Spectacular in full spate.

A waterfall view at Aros Park Upper Falls near Tobermory, Isle of Mull, Inner Hebrides, Scotland on a bright September day.
The Aros Burn in full spate cascades over the crest of the waterfall and down the rock face until it tumbles over many large boulders at the bottom as it makes its way downstream.
In the background, behind and above the falls are pine trees.
The sky is blue with thin white clouds.

An Irish #sunset. Heading out with Sam. Think I’ll be away a good bit longer today as we haven’t done one of our long walks in ages. Please enjoy your day wherever you are in our little world. 🌍 #Ireland #photography #EastCoastKin

A golden sunset over the Irish countryside, with the sun shining through the silhouette of trees in the foreground. The sky glows with warm tones of amber and gold, scattered with dark and fiery clouds. Below, the distant landscape stretches toward the horizon, softly illuminated by the fading light.

Good morning from Ireland. Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

Mist rolls soft through the amber glen,
Where old trees dream of time again.

misty autumn landscape featuring tall, ancient trees in a golden-brown field. In the foreground, leaves with hints of orange and yellow frame the scene from the upper left corner. A large, gnarled tree stands to the right, while another tall tree rises in the distance amid a faint fog. The grass below is tinged with autumn hues, and a line of scattered stones runs across the slope, evoking a quiet, timeless Irish countryside.
