I listen to the show occasionally and am always amazed by how well they ‘set a scene’ with sound and description to give you, the listener a mental picture of the subject. We have agreed to meet at Chanonry Point during my lunch hour and the reason for this choice of venue was simple as this is the place that inspired me to take up photography after watching the amazing Moray Firth dolphins. I guess the venue will also add some atmosphere with the sound of the wind and waves and we might even see some dolphins although that’s no good to you, the listener without a good description.
Chanonry is for me, a very special place. I have met some great people (and Tim Stenton) there and witnessed some amazing displays of dolphin acrobatics, which will never leave me. Without getting all soppy and ‘hippy-ish’ on you, Chanonry has something extra, a feeling, an atmosphere that's special, a real sense of ownership comes across when I go and this place holds special memories for me and many thousands of people like me who have spent time there with their friends and loved ones. I have a vision in my mind as a write of a special couple playing with their young daughter who was making sand (shingle) castles, back and forward she went collecting sand, water and more water, sand and even more shingle, she played happily for ages with her parents watching on with adoring eyes. It’s a lovely memory for me and I’m sure it will be the same for the little girl.
I'm able to share my other memories from that same day, as the dolphins never let us down. This is just one of many images captured in a bumper breaching bonanza.
Other Eilean Dubh news involves the possibility of displaying our travelling exhibition of images at Eden Court theatre in Inverness, I’ll keep you posted.
Happy days.
James
