Israel, Jaffa

Shalom!   My second visit to Israel left me desiring more. I can’t believe we missed out on Abu Hassan, apparently it’s one of the best hummus restaurants in Israel, Jaffa and because of such loss I shall return. After all, hummus (pronounced with a guttural ‘g’ instead of an ‘h’) is one of my favourite things to eat.   Twelve years ago, I first visited Israel and had since lost all my photographs due to a hard drive crash. A return couldn’t have been more welcomed. This time I had my own personal tour guide, and instead of buses with hordes of tourists we’d hired a car and also bicycles, whereby experiencing more of the extraordinary.   From Ben Gurion Airport, we took our lives in our hands while driving the twenty-five kilometres in to Jaffa. Just about every car tooted their horns, no gaps left unturned and everyone behind every wheel pushed in, into the absent gaps, not a single driver indicates and add a bit more hooting. Behaving like a driving instructor, my foot constantly wanted to slam down on the imaginary foot brake. Bloodcurdling, to say the least! However, the daily car journeys, many kilometres later, […]

Glenfinnan Viaduct Made Famous by Harry Potter

Made famous by Harry Potter, Genfinnan viaduct is the longest concrete railway bridge in Scotland at 380m, and crosses the River Finnan at a height of 30m.

The impressive 21 semicicular spans of 15m mass concrete are built on a curve of 241m.   An image speaks a thousands words and more…

Ben Nevis, Scottish Highlands

In Edinburgh, the day before my Ben Nevis adventure, a street photographer warned me about the hike. “It’s steep at the start, in the middle and at the end. And it’s mostly steps, steep slippery steps. It’s tough, tougher than you could imagine.” Nonsense, I said to myself. How bad could it be, really?! After all I’d whizzed up Sani Pass (starting at 1544m and rises 1332 vertical meters to summit at 2876m) and Table Mountain (1,086 metres above sea level). Ben Nevis stands at 1352m above sea level, not that much higher than Sani Pass. The gradient only being 15 percent steeper. What’s 15 percent in the grand scheme of things, right? Well…   Only after reading the article discovered on Walkhighlands about the hike, I thought much better of it. Perhaps Steve, the street photographer, wasn’t exaggerating after all. And not training for the walk was perhaps a little unwise from my side.   From Fort William, a town nestled along the shores of Lock Linnhe, in the western Scottish Highlands, we accessed Ben Nevis. The United Kingdom’s highest peak. With the ground wet, rocks glistening, and the mist lifting at the beginning of the hike, the two of […]
