john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I did not manage to get much Autumn colour on my trip up to Perthshire the other day, but I did manage to catch a nice sunset at Queens View. 1121
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Some Autumn colour coming through at Kenmore, but the full display is not here yet. 070
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The little lighthouse beneath the Forth Bridge has a remarkable history. It stands on the only surviving pier of Sir Thomas Bouch’s original Forth Bridge design. 041
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Sun rise at the Forth Bridge yesterday morning. 0112
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 11/09/2026One of those Scottish mornings when the weather does all the work. The Bass Rock sitting quietly offshore beneath a heavy blanket of cloud, while a little golden light managed to find its way through on the horizon. 0321
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 10/09/2026The Knife Angel isn't simply about knives. It was created as the National Monument Against Violence and Aggression — a memorial to people who have lost their lives through violence, but also a powerful attempt to educate young people about the consequences of carrying weapons. 141
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Last week I shared a pic of the Forth Bridge with this same cruise ship beneath it. A few days later, the ship was back — and this time I had the opportunity to photograph it from above. It's amazing how different the Forth can look from one visit to the next. 020

john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 20/08/2026The Holland America Line’s Nieuw Statendam passing the Forth Bridge last night. 020
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 13/08/2026MEET TINDERELLA 🧜♀️ She apparently arrived in Pittenweem uninvited during the Arts Festival and decided she rather liked it there. Created by Scottish metal artist Kev Paxton of ArtFe, Tinderella now spends her days perched among the rocks overlooking the Firth of Forth. 041
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 11/08/2026A train passing through Burntisland Links. With the fair ground already for another day. 030

john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 30/07/2026The Buck Moon over Edinburgh at dawn fades gently behind the castle as the first light of the day illuminates the city. One of those moments where planning and luck come together. 090
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Loch Stack. The island in the middle is simply known as Ylen Loch Stack (from the Gaelic Eilean Loch Stack, meaning “Island of Loch Stack”). 062
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 20/07/2026There are some places in Scotland that never leave you. For me, Assynt is one of them. Standing there at sunset watching the light change as I took this shot was magical. 0152
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Crail Harbour, the East Neuk of Fife at its very best. 081
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Pittenweem has to be one of Scotland’s most picturesque fishing villages. 0103
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 26/06/2026I spotted this organ grinder sitting in the shade during a market in Provence. The light, the expression, the cigarette, the weathered instrument and that magnificent moustache all came together for one of my favourite portraits from the trip. 081
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Dance like nobody is watching!!! Just make sure nobody is watching!!! 031
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 24/06/2026The old camera and film render her with a very appropriate vibe for her age. 010
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Lily No tricks. No AI. No endless burst mode. Just Lily, a roll of Ilford HP5, and Leica iii built in 1937. Sometimes the old ways are still the best. 191
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Some pics of the Glasgow murals trail taken on my 61 year old Rolleiflex 3.5f film camera. 040
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 02/06/2026The Japanese Garden at Cowden. The weather in Scotland was good last week so I booked a visit to the Japanese Garden for Friday. Unfortunately things didn’t go to plan and it was grey and overcast. So reflecting the grey theme I went for black and white images. 061
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 01/06/2026One of the things I love about Skye is that the landscape never looks quite the same twice. I've photographed Loch Fada and the Storr in rain, mist, snow and sunshine, but every visit feels different. 1161
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 30/05/2026One man and his dog. At Neist Point on Skye. 080
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 28/05/2026I took a trip up to Skye for sunset at Niest Point. It didn’t disappoint! 0132
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 20/05/2026The bluebell season is almost over for another year 😩. 060
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 19/05/2026I’ve often thought about selling my pics as jigsaws but they are actually very expensive to make. 010
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 19/05/2026A quiet moment beneath the bridge at the Linlithgow Canal Centre. 061
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 15/05/2026There’s something about Bauchaille Etive Mòr in the dim morning light when the world is still quiet, the colours drained, and it is all about the day ahead, and the company you keep. A small light in a vast landscape. 0133
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 19/04/2026The three bridges over the River Forth at Queensferry, photographed within minutes of each other on a beautiful day. Which is your favourite? I mean which BRIDGE, not which photo 🤣. 140
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Adam Smith enjoying the sunrise on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile. 0101
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 16/04/2026Another Edinburgh street that you don't often see deserted, this is the West Bow looking into Victoria Terrace, one of the top tourist destinations in the city. 0132
john-pow.bsky.social @john-pow.bsky.social · 11/04/2026A beautiful sunny morning at Pan Ha’ Dysart. At the far end of the sea wall you can see the on going repairs to the damage caused by the winter storms. 070
