The following is provided by Elaine Forrest. Possible Locations for members who would still like to attend a Monday night outing .
I am fairly familiar with Lanark, my daughter and family live there and I have long thought its a good location for a variety of different shots in different areas. I am sure many of you are also familiar with it. I think its a fairly big project.
My thoughts are.
1. Street and architecture, which would involve a walk around Lanark itself , through the various closes and vennels, exploring the area for different shots.
2. The Loch, suitable for water fowl, landscape, etc., and you could always nip into the Inn for a cheeky wee drink. There is also the cemetry on the left as you head for the town. There is an abandoned catholic church here as well as the ancient ruined church Wallace was said to be married in. This could be combined with either of the previously mentioned venues.
3. There is Castlebank park, which has some lovely spots in it, open grass and woodland, garden and fairy glen. There are paths (fairly steep though) that lead through the woods to the clyde below.
4. Is the New Lanark village and the falls of Clyde which also offers a host of different subjects to shoot, from architecture, nature, wildlife and the possibility of another cheeky wee pint in the hotel. I will put a poll up in the dark room to see if there is any interest in any or all of these.
