Aurora The Neuk au7422ajhp
Scotland Aurora Borealis display Neuk rays red winter January 1990 taken on the Harestone Road to the west of Banchory at a small inset into a field by The Neuk farm. I cleared it with the farmer that I could park there and it gave me a clear view to the Hill of Fare to the North of Banchory. Other photos were taken at a corner layby opposite the entrance to the Ley Farm which I tended to use more as it was more convenient and a tree at the entrance gave a very striking foreground. This photo taken on the 25th of January around 01.42hrsUT is one from early 1990, four nights before the end of the month, displays which proved to be an extremely productive decade for Aurora displays and photography. I took this photo of the Aurora display using Kodak 5020 EES 35mm slide film rated at 1600asa and exposed around the 20 seconds I later settled on. I was using one or two cameras at the time, sometimes swopping the lens from one to the other camera but I later resorted to one film, Fuji,as I found that changing a lens without always checking the focus and apertures could prove 'fatal'-out of focus ort underexposed and easy to do in the excitment of the moment when the display went active.
These locations became my usual choices for most of the Aurora displays I photographed when living in Banchory throughout the early 90’s, as easily accessible from Banchory and with a clear light pollution free view to the North which meant that any clear night was spent watching the Northern skies for the tell-tale signs of a possible display, usually proceeded by an area of obvious brightness on the evening before the main display. It also gave easy access to Crathes Castle which featured a couple of times as different foreground to Aurora displays.

What is also important is the close awareness of the inhospitable nature of the cataracts, now benign because of the impact of the two dams across the river, but imagining these huge rocks in a Nile inundation and one could understand the barrier that it created for those travellers trying to head further south by boat.

Luxor West Bank Theban Valley Kings Egyptian shuttle train conservation entry that takes you from the visitors centre coach park to the main Tomb area thereby reducing pollution by denying all the large touring coaches entry to this fragile ecology and historically most important area. It also looks for a degree of visitor control for these days many more tourists enter this very small area coming in coach convoys from the Red Sea Resorts and not just the River Nile cruiseboats which used to be the major source of vistor numbers. This is one of the most visited places in the world probably and certainly in Egypt is this desolate desert valley beneath the Theban mountain on the West Bank of the River Nile at Luxor famous for some of the most important Royal burials of this ancient civilisation. It is possible to climb over the hills above the Valley, pass above the huge amphitheatre of Deir el-Bahri above Hatshepsut’s spectacular Mortuary Temple and come down into Deir el-Medina, the workers village using the same paths as they must have done over 3000 years ago.

This new addition was created by Artist Carn Stading and funds raised by a local restaurant owner and residents in the village saved it as a recent feature in recognition of the Moray Firth Bottlenosed Dolphins, a popular tourist attraction for many of these coastal resorts. It has a small caravan park in the next easterly bay to the harbour and with traditional 17th century period is an important part of the Coastal Trail and the history of the early fishing industry in the North east of Scotland.
