There are many seals in the loch here, but this one has taken a shine to Bertie dog. He hangs around looking up at Bertie (who barks of course). Not sure if it's the noise or that fact that Bertie looks a bit like a seal wearing a fur coat. No 'Seal of approval' puns please!

I found this to be one of the more unique scenes I captured on my last Iceland trip - a narrow waterfall emerging from an impossibly blue pool, surrounded by dark volcanic rock and bright green moss. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography

So once again there’s quite the hoolie going on in #Edinburgh Frequent gusts of around 44mph. And then there’s the rain 💨 💦pelting against the windows. Whenever it gets like this, there’s always a bunch of sirens 🚨 sounding off. No doubt, emergency 🆘 services will be busy tonight.
