I took a wander down to the Ness Islands this afternoon just after dusk.

It’s an atmospheric and photogenic place normally, but the lights were being switched on today, so I thought it might make for a couple of nice photo opportunities.

Sadly, the whole of the rest of Inverness had the same idea. The crowds – and of course my lack of a decent tripod, a big camera, or much in the way of ability – meant that I got very few decent shots.

In fact, the best one I got on my walk wasn’t actually on the islands, but of the also-illuminated Ness Bridge.

I’ll maybe go down another evening when – with luck – there will be less people around…
