Photo of the Week 2025-11-03

 

Working our way through the first full day of shooting for the 2025 Edition of our Superior-Wawa photography adventure, we worked our way back to Chippewa Falls before grabbing an early dinner nearby.

 

The fall colours were not as vibrant looking upstream to the upper reaches of the falls as I hoped. Standing on the rock outcrop to the south side of the lower falls, I liked this composition.

But there was a bit more autumn on display over my shoulder, along the shore, where the river turned and I needed to zoom in to pick it out.

On the morning we left Callander and headed for our last night in Edinburgh, I took the opportunity to visit a local woodland trail ... to Bracklinn Falls

 

' Keltie Water Falling - H '

Bracklinn Falls are a series of waterfalls north-east of Callander, Scotland on the course of the Keltie Water.

 

I've followed several Scottish/UK photographers on social media for a while and their work has held great appeal for me. 

 

The woodlands they frequent are quite different from what I'm used to at home in Ontario. Many of the trees have twisting and irregular branches presenting quite a different character.  And then they have such great words for rivers, stream, brooks. Abhainn, burn, bàgh, pow, skye are just a few. Those in Gaelic I have no hope of pronouncing correctly and it all simply adds to the appeal.

 

It was absolutely wonderful to explore this short trail and capture just some of the beauty there If this were near home, I would visit frequently ...note to self: get out more and explore places closer to home.
