This is a little bit of fun mixed in with an image I took in Northern CA last Summer. The place: a well known swimhole close to Cattlemens’ Camp which is a favorite area for camping and also hunting deer South of Mount Shasta and McCloud. The critters in the water are a result of an actual photograph I shot in a local Nursery in Redbluff, CA….garden decor….. a few frogs from another photo I shot here at home so all combined to make this fun image…...Edited with PhotoImpact11…....hope you enjoy….

See extra large view here The day I travelled down Glencoe, it was dull and raining. As I stepped out of the car the towering mountains and eerie mists conjured up the history of the place, and the tragedies that had befallen some there. Of all the locations that I have visited in Scotland, I think that Glencoe tells it’s story, more than any other. The folk on the track, bottom rt corner, indicate the scale of the place.

Following the suppression of the First Jacobite Uprising, King William offered pardons to Jacobite clan chiefs, provided they swore allegiance to him by December 31, 1691. Although the MacDonalds of Glen Coe intended to do so, they delayed leaving until the 30th. They went wrongly to Inverlochy (now Fort William) and were further delayed by the weather. As a result they arrived late and took the oath five days after the deadline. William decided to make an example of the clan. He enlisted the Campbells, longtime enemies of the Macdonald to do so and the Massacre at Glen Coe was the result. The massacre had roots in the Campbell-MacDonald feud, which dated back to 1500. The Campbells were prosperous and ambitious – with friends in high places. The MacDonalds were notorious, particularly for their ability to make cattle “disappear.” In 1501 the Glen Coe MacDonalds (with others) captured the Campbell fortress on Loch Awe, rescuing Donald Dhu – the last Lord of the Isles. Donald Dhu had been imprisoned for more than 40 years by his Campbell grandfather. For years skirmishes and raids took place around Glen Lyon. In the early years of the conflict 36 Glen Coe MacDonalds were hanged by Mad Colin Campbell of Glen Lyon. In 1646 the MacDonalds attacked the Campbells after a wedding, killing 36. In 1685, when the Campbells’ power was at low ebb (two Earls of Argyll had been executed), the MacDonalds pillaged Campbell land and effectively ruined many families. Scottish leaders often took advantage of the longstanding feud as well. The Campbells fought with Cromwell and the MacDonalds fought with Montrose during the Civil War. At the time of the massacre, the MacDonald clan consisted of several hundred people in an area of approximately 10 miles. The clan was led by Alastair, 12th chief. He had fought with Bonnie Dundee and had a long career of raiding. He had been imprisoned in Inverary for either committing or allowing the murder of one of his clan, but escaped. He was well over six feet and had long white hair with a spiked mustache. Intensely popular with his clan, he was not as well regarded by many in the Highlands. The massacre was led by Captain Robert Campbell, the great-grandson of Mad Colin and one of those families who had been damaged by MacDonald raids in 1685. He was 60 and his niece was married to Alastair’s son. He was an alcoholic and gambler who had lost much of what remained of his estate due to incompetence and vice. Despite these facts, he may not have been aware of his mission when he first went to the MacDonalds. Campbell arrived at Glen Coe and asked quarters for two companies (approximately 120 men). They were housed and fed for ten days before Campbell received written orders from Major Robert Duncanson. They were ordered specifically to “root out the old fox and his cubs” and to put everyone under 70 “to the sword.” On February 13, 1692, the massacre took place as planned in various parts of Glen Coe. At Inverrigan, Invercoe, Carnoch, Achnacon and Achtriochtan, members of the MacDonald clan were killed. In all perhaps 38 were killed and 300 fled to the hills. Many died of cold and starvation. Incredibly two of the chief’s sons and a grandson escaped. Within two weeks news of the massacre was out and a pamphlet by Charles Lesley, an Irishman, turned the event into national scandal. It was particularly abhorrent to Highlanders, because it violated their strict code of hospitality and because of the government’s complicity in its genocidal intent. In spite of the outrage, there were no long term repercussions for the perpetrators. However, John, the 13th MacDonald Chief was given a pardon and rebuilt his home. Ironically John’s brother, Alastair fought in 1715 alongside John Campbell, who had led the massacre. As a result, both had their estates confiscated. This information is from various sources, primarily from the National Trust for Scotland’s Glen Coe publication. Canon 40D 18-55 IS

‘Cankpe Opi’ is Lakota for Wounded Knee…..the site of a massacre which occurred on December 29, 1890 on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. On that bleak winter morning, the Sioux chief Big Foot and some 350 of his followers camped on the banks of Wounded Knee creek. They were surrounded by 500 US troops who were to disarm and arrest them. Sitting Bull had been murdered just days before. During a meeting to try and come to a truce, a shot from an unknown party was fired; this anonymous shot started the massacre. Indians ran to get their guns and defend themselves, but the surrounding army cut them all down. Over 300 Sioux were killed that day, and the massacre officially ended the Indian Wars but began the years of recrimination against the US government for their brutality toward the Indians. In the late 90’s, we visited the Wounded Knee Monument and it was one of the most chilling experiences I have ever had. Sitting there on the grass outside the fenced area which holds many gravesites, looking out over that valley, I could feel the strong Spirits of the Ancestors. I heard them singing and the beating of the drums permeated my being…I will never forget that feeling…. Today, sitting here in my home on this most beautiful winter’s day in the Rocky Mountains where I am safe and warm, I thought of that awful day and was compelled to create some art to honor those who died there that day in the snow covered hills of South Dakota….

Straight out of the camera, seriously it is. I’ve not used filters for years but I took a few shots recently using the old methods. / This is the result. This shot was taken in Glencoe a short distance from the Glencoe Visitor Centre. / There were a lot of murders in Glencoe, one of the most shameful moments in Scotlands History. / The Massacre Of Glencoe, In my humble opinion the blame lies with King William but history is a little cloudy on that issue & to be fair its complicated. There were many factors but when all is said & done its still a shamefull moment in our history. / The image is meant to be dramatic to convey the darker side of our past. /

Another first for me, been wanting to get a decent pic of this awsome valley with a wide angle lens for a long time. The brooding valley of Glencoe and it’s three sisters, Highlands of Scotland. Famous for the Masacre of the McDonalds in 1692: “The Massacre of Glencoe occurred in Glen Coe, Scotland, in the early morning of 13 February 1692, during the era of the “Glorious Revolution” and Jacobitism. In Gaelic, the event is named ‘Mort Ghlinne Comhann’ (murder of Glen Coe). The massacre began simultaneously in three settlements along the glen—Invercoe, Inverrigan, and Achnacon—although the killing took place all over the glen as fleeing MacDonalds were pursued. Thirty-eight MacDonalds from the Clan MacDonald of Glencoe were killed by the guests who had accepted their hospitality, on the grounds that the MacDonalds had not been prompt in pledging allegiance to the new monarchs, Mary II and William II. Another forty women and children died of exposure after their homes were burned.” canon 400D , sigma 10-20 with Lee filters. F16 @ iso100
