Oh my goodness! Your shots are other worldly! The autumn leaf color and the cascading ivy, the glint of sunlight on the grasses…the shimmer on the water! Stunning! Absolutely stunning! ❤
Was there just last week John. Ventured down to the far end too for the first time, got some nice shots. The water level was low, so I was able to venture into uncharted territory with my trusty wellies on. Still waters run deep ............... ;-)
This was wonderful! Beautiful images! In the earlier images, I loved how the long exposure brought the mist into greater prominence than was visible in the video. Contrasted with the vibrant colors it gave the images a mysterious feel. These shots of water and mossy walls always convey a kind of intimacy that invites me to sort of sink into the scene. Thank you, John. Another great start to my Sunday!
Final shots a beaut, especially at this time (three weeks ago), which I've not taken before. There's some great shots looking back out of the glen from that beach furthest in. With decent wellies you can get further, but I'd take a walking pole for balance.
I was tempted to get down to that beach but decided to turn back as we were still considering a trip (literally) down the stairs to the pulpit but by the time we got back to the stairs the crowds had begun to arrive so we left it for another day. Will definitely get back down to the beach first chance i have though!
@@JohnMcKennaPhotography There's a ledge on the left hand side, underwater, around the pointed sticky out rock, which then means you can transverse to the right hand side. This is of course totally water flow dependent. If its just after heavy rain I wouldn't go into the water at all, even at the open end of the glen, for fear of logs washing down. Keep an eye out for the large concave sphere like hollows that are part way up the walls of the glen there .... poses a erosional/geologic question I haven't figured out yet.
It's ridiculous That I have never been to the Devils Pulpit, its a Gorgeous place, with the Autumn shades the Ruby Coloured River and those Lush Greens you managed to capture some delightful shots.
Thanks Douglas! It's a great location but definitely go early. We were first to arrive but after a couple of hours the crowds were beginning to build and doing any serious photography was impossible.
Great video again John I see Simon beat you to it and put his one out last week😊 I liked the use of the polariser it did work well on the water and leaves.
Thanks Malcolm! Haha - aye - I was still working on the Routin Brig video when we did the walk and I wanted to try to get them out in some kind of order! I really need to speed up my editing process! :)
Very nice! I kept thinking each photo was my favorite until I got to the next. The colors are fantastic. The photo at 23:25 very nearly took the prize but I believe 16:06 edges it out as my favorite.
Always wondered why use the, sometimes dangerous, stairs when you can walk in relative safety down the field behind you at the start of the video and then walk into the gorge from there
Great vid as usual. I'm not a fan of the Christian hobby of slapping the name of 'Devil's whatever' on natural wonders. So I discovered this place is also known as Finnich or Finnich's Glen. Do you know who, or what, Finnich was?
Thanks. Yes, it's actual name is Finnich Glen. Finnich is a common name in the area. There's a High Finnich Farm nearby, and a Finnich Drummond Farm. The bridge which crosses the water is called Finnich Bridge, so I'm guessing the glen / gorge got it's name from being close to these locations

Thanks Trisha! Glad you liked them. It's an amazing location. Hoping to be back before the end of the year!
Good stuff, fantastic place to photograph

it's a great spot isn't it? Have you shared your photos online anywhere?
@JohnMcKennaPhotography Hi John. Yes on @jmac544 👍
This is just so ethereal with your interpretation of the location as usual stamped on it.
thanks! Great place to photograph
For me the best vlog and pictures I've ever seen on the Devil's Pulpit John!!!
Thanks!!

thanks Jim. It was a great morning. Hoping to get back one more time before the turn of the year so watch this space!
Brilliant video again John. Nice to see we didn’t double up on images. Love the colours too 👍👍👍
@@SimonJerromes cheers, thanks mate. Was a great morning!
Thanks very much John, been on my to visit list for a while!
Its worth a visit Chris!

I'll check that out next time I go down!
Very nice

And its a lot quieter!
