Logan
Burn 1024 x 768 188K |
The Logan Burn meanders somewhat before it flows into Loganlea Reservoir. Photographed from Lover's Loup. |
 |
Logan Burn 6 infrared 1280 x 851 360K |
A monochrome view as seen in infrared light only. The grass does an excellent job of reflecting the infrared part of the sunlight's spectrum. |
 |
Loganburn new bridge 1152 x 864 286K |
This is a later (and wider) view of the Logan Burn, showing off the purple heather in the foreground. The footpath / cyclepath has been rerouted to the other side of the burn, right up against the bottom of Black Hill. |

Loganlea

Loganlea Reservoir with an interesting reflection of clouds and blue sky. The road is used by fishermen (with permits) , walkers and cyclists. |

Loganlea

Lover's Loup leads to Logan burn flowing from Green Cleugh to Loganlea Reservoir. |
 |
Loganlea
Dam 1 1152 x 864 90K |
It looks peaceful here and it is, despite its popularity with walkers, mountain-bikers and fishermen. The hazy atmosphere emphasizes shape and depth here - as well as allowing JPEG to compress the file to a small size. |
 |
Loganlea
Dam 2 1152 x 864 254K |
Taken from the wooden bridge over the Logan Burn which flows downstream to Glencorse Reservoir. Looking upstream towards the Loganlea dam, visible in the hazy distance. The water reflects the spring sunshine. March 2002. |
 |
Loganlea
ice 1152 x 864 337K |
At the beginning of March 2003 the reservoir's frozen surface was melting. The crazy patterns indicate that it had partially melted before being refrozen. |
 |
Loganlea Reservoir August 2005 1152 x 864 190K |
The reservoir has been partly drained again but there are still some fisherman in small boats equipped with silent electric motors. Low cloud has descended temporarily, giving a strange quality to the light. |
 |
Lover's
Loup 1152 x 864 257K |
The steep path down this ridge leads to the Logan Burn, feeding Loganlea Reservoir. February 2003. |
 |
Loganlea Lover's Loup 1152 x 864 281K |
From the heather on the end of the Lover's Loup ridge is this view of the meandering Logan Burn with the reservoir in the background. |
 |
Loganlea IR 1280 x 851 332K |
A slightly higher viewpoint than the Lover's Loup picture, but looking in the same direction - albeit through an infrared filter. This is May and there's no snow; it's just the chlorophyl reflecting the infrared part of the sunshine. |
 |
There's lots of purple heather this year, maybe because the sheep farmers haven't been finding it economic to burn it off in favour of grass for their flocks. | |
 |
Black Hill looks decidedly purple in this view of the Logan Burn from Lover's Loup. A lone mountain biker heads from Flotterstone to Balerno. |
