Traprain Law
Recently myself and my other half took on the challenge of climbing Traprain Law. I know to some it may not be much of a challenge but for someone who doesn't like climbing hills it is and, contrary to some, I only had a moan twice.

Further up the hill I took this image. I love the distinct colouring of the sky and hay fields. I also have never seen bails of hay towered like this. I felt a great sense of peace here.

Obviously a blog about Traprain Law would not be complete without an image of one of the horses that call this place home. A single horse eats quietly while the rest of the herd ate a little a way. Again the peaceful element came into play here. This with the different textures of the grass, clouds and fields make up what I believe to be a interesting photograph.

The above two images show different elements that I didn't realise would be at the top of the Law. The first shows a pool of water, presumably it is for the horses. I like that throughout my series of images different textures are added which I believe show the many layers that can exist amongst nature. The second image shows some built up stones. Having discussed this with my partner, I found out that a fort once stood upon Traprain Law. I find this sort of history fascinating, I love seeing remnants of what used to be.

While I explored my surroundings, my other half did the same. I love this image because it puts everything in perspective. Whilst I perhaps didn't love the walk up Traprain, I did like the views at the top. You couldn't hear anything other than a spoilt chicken making a riot at a distant farm.
