  Tea time dreaming
  by Lenka

  These are my tea glasses. / An original photograph nearly “as is”, I’ve only increased contrast/saturation very decently. / If you wonder about the strong colors: I have used a sheet of holographic paper as a background, and a torch bounced off the paper as the only light source. A T-Shirt available now: /

  Ardvreck Castle - In The Shadow Of Glas Bheinn
  by bidkev

  From the Gaelic, big greenish-grey hill, Glas Bheinn overshadows Ardvrek Castle ruins on the shore of Loch Assynt The castle is thought to have been constructed around 1590 by the Clan MacLeod family who owned Assynt and the surrounding area from the 13th century onwards. Indeed Sutherland, the area in which Ardvreck is situated, has long been a stronghold of the clan MacLeod. The most well known historical tale concerning the castle is that on April 30th 1650 James Graham, the Marquis of Montrose, was captured and held at the castle before being transported to Edinburgh for trial and execution. Montrose was a Royalist, fighting on the side of Charles I against the Covenanters. Defeated at the Battle of Carbisdale, he sought sanctuary at Ardvreck with Neil MacLeod of Assynt. At the time, Neil was absent and it is said that his wife, Christine, tricked Montrose into the castle dungeon and sent for troops of the Covenanter Government. Montrose was taken to Edinburgh, where he was executed on 21 May 1650, using the traditional method for traitors: hanging, drawing and quartering. Ardvreck Castle was attacked and captured by the Clan MacKenzie in 1672, who took control of the Assynt lands. In 1726 they constructed a more modern manor house nearby, Calda House, which takes its name from the Calda burn beside which it stands. The house burned down under mysterious circumstances one night in 1737. The castle is said to be haunted by two ghosts, one a tall man dressed in grey who is supposed to be related to the betrayal of Montrose and may even be Montrose himself. The second ghost is that of a young girl. The story tells that the MacLeods procured the help of the Devil to build the castle and in return the daughter of one of the MacLeod chieftains was betrothed to him as payment. In despair of her situation, the girl threw herself from one of the towers and was killed. The nearby ruins of Calda house are also supposed to be haunted. The legend says that the Mackenzie family organised a family gathering there one Saturday and that the celebrations continued past midnight into the Sabbath day. At some point a fire broke out, possibly caused by a lightning strike, and all the inhabitants perished as the house burned to the ground. The causes of the fire are uncertain, but inhabitants of the Assynt area state that it was a manifestation of divine wrath as the family had been merry-making on the Lord’s Sabbath day. Indeed, stories are told that there was a survivor of the fire, a piper who was spared the flames because he refused to play the pipes past the midnight hour. A number of ghost sightings have been recorded around the area of the Calda ruins, including that of a ghostly woman who haunts the site itself. Strange lights have also been seen there at night, and several people have claimed that they have seen car headlights approach them on the road there at night, but after waiting for the vehicle to pass, no car has appeared.

  Just a Glass .... and a bit of Sun....
  by Heide Hoffmann

  I was meant to do some real work this morning when I suddenly got sidetracked but the colourful lines on our grey table, reflections of the glass standing around… just couldn’t resist to take a break and take some pictures… well, some ;-). I am aware that this isn’t much of a ‘beautiful’ picture… but thinking that all these colours are out there – I mean, it’s just a glass, there is nothing special with it, or is it? Aren’t we living in a magical world?

  Shadow Twins
  by Nico van der merwe

  Imaginary fantasy – My long overdue set of photography and abstract digital painting art prints. Although this 40 megapixel image can be printed at ridiculously large A0+ sizes on canvas; I would personally suggest a smaller sized A3 (10.7×16 Inch) or A2 (16×23.9 inch) print with a white matted border on glossy paper (matte fine art paper will work too but I like the play of light glossy gives to prints) with non reflective acrylic or glass to protect it – frame it according to your preference but I would suggest not too thin nor too thick and fancy. Portrait/vertical orientated prints are great if you plan on hanging more than one next to each other on a wall in any living area or office space. For signed* prints, matted on fine art paper or printed and shipped unframed on canvas from myself the artist; contact me at Nico@soulmyst.com for further details. Certain future prints will be sold as *limited edition signed prints where the numbering would be limited to 10 for smaller sizes on fine art paper – single signed print on a very large satin canvas (1.2 or 1.5 meter in height) only and prices will vary from the open-ended unsigned prints sold through the internet. Further details will be given once I manage to finalize my personal website. Flickr Gallery http://www.flickr.com/photos/soulmyst/ P.S If you prefer to view this on imageKind do a search “soulmyst”
