I took this one because of how trees lean over the bridge and everything reflects nicely.

Just an Old Sign
The waiting room was full, but a forgotten sign made me feel suddenly alone. Revisiting a moment when life happened all at once, leaving marks that took time to heal.

I had an hour to kill last night while waiting to collect my wife from Glasgow Central Station. It was raining heavily and the Christmas neon was lighting the streets. Be rude not to, eh?

Rainwater pooling on block paving captures and reflects red and yellow neon lights from a takeaway restaurant
Rain pooling on the curves of a parked car reflects red and blue neon lights from a bar nearby
A woman in high-heeled boots walks into a bar where the red neon light is reflected in the soaking wet pavement
Blue window lights from a tower block hotel reflect in a puddle rippled by heavy rain on a Glasgow street

The Chair
A familiar road, a moment of pause. I found myself looking at a place that once meant purpose and community. It’s a quiet reflection on what remains when people move on and what stays behind in silence.

✨ New blog post: "Lip Gloss and Liberation: Rethinking the ‘Girl Power’ Era"
The 90s promised we could have it all — career, confidence, and lip gloss. But what we really got was empowerment with a price tag. 💋

Lip Gloss and Liberation: Rethinking the 'Girl Power' Era
The 90s promised women they could have it all — career, confidence, and lip gloss. But 'girl power' came with conditions. A reflection on marketed feminism, impossible expectations, and what true liberation really means. 💋

Good morning, Glasgow. It's a beautiful, if Baltic, start to the day, so get your woolly hats on and get out and enjoy it while it lasts!

'Low Tide at Findochty', which is a subtly different view in sunshine across this lovely harbour on the Moray Firth Coast of northeast Scotland. The original is sold but prints are available in 4 sizes on our website at https://www.robwighamwatercolours.com/findochty-to-cullen.html !

I’ve taken many shots like this, every year, with the same subject and in the same place. Yet I’m still fascinated by this perspective.
This one is from just a few hours ago: the sunset and the "fragile" flower. A breath of wind will be enough, and the flower, as we see it, will vanish. Yet it will be everywhere, spreading itself across the world.
There it stands, swaying in the gentle air and the soft warmth of a November sunset, defying whatever happens around it.
No yesterday, no tomorrow - just here, now, basking in this poetic light.
And life, silently, flows on.

I’m spending a week visiting family here in the great state of Idaho. A long overdue visit— lots to catch up on! Several family members are avid hikers— spent part of today “urban hiking” with them on the Boise River Greenbelt. A very picturesque hike along the river which cuts through neighborhoods and the downtown area. A great way to see Boise! #hiking #nature #photography
