For techie-nical reasons, I've taken down the "Comments" function

from the blog pages, pending finding a better way of making this work.

The site is built in RapidWeaver, and used the RW-recommended JSKit comments system. But it caused problems. A comment posted against one blog post would come up under every post; big and inexiplicable gaps appeared between the end of some posts and the comments area, and I believe the Admin area was open to all site visitors. So I'm looking for a better means of handling comments, and for now,

comments is OFF

If you would like to make a comment on something you see on this site, in the Blog or elsewhere, please use one of the Contact pages, accessible from the menu, top right

Thanks

Jim

www3? that's Winter Wonderland Week 3

And here were we, out by the bottom of the Glencoe ski run, by the Black Rock Cottage and looking towards the frozen slopes of the Buachaille Etive Mor (great herdsman of Etive)

One of the defining images of the Scottish highlands. Jim took this shot today with his Epson R-D1 and CV 25mm f4 lens.

Ruth was driving, but slowly and gently enough to allow a fairly sharp foreground



Forecast says we may have another two weeks of this wonderland still ahead of us. Can't be bad! There was a little rain today, though, for the first time in weeks, and the temperature leapt to a basking -1ºC in Fort William just as darkness fell. So could be the thaw is at hand, or not....
