I just had to share some autumnal views beyond the frame over Perth from yesterday morning. Autumn in my opinion is the best time of the year to capture this particular scene as it was a favoured time of the year for Sir John Everett Millais to paint his landscapes. He probably was the greatest painter of the Pre Raphhaelite Movement and most of his landscapes were painted from scenes in Perthshire.
This redstone sculpture made in 1997 called "Millias Viewpoint" by Timothy Shutter commemorates his artwork and is a living picture frame of Perth changing throughout the seasons. It's found along the Sculpture Trail along the banks of the River Tay.

Beyond the Frame
Autumn Leaves
The autumn oak leaves that surround the frame on one side represent his famous painting "Autumn Leaves" while the cut corners represent immortality.
............... speaking of autum leaves here are some more from my walk to the view point.
I hope that autumn is as colourful for you as it is here in Scotland just now.

You can literally step into the frame and become part of the picture!

Beautifully creative scenes.
No. We don't get Autumn colour here in the tropics. I have to get my fix by visiting blog posts like this. Your stunning photos were delightful viewing.
Rosie, this one makes me dream more of Scotland, the frame seems like a fantasy, amazingly beautiful. And your outstanding photos give the best justice for its purpose. Awesome indeed! We don't have Autumn season so your wish is not granted in this part of the world. Autumn is just in my subconscious.
Indeed, Scotland is beautiful in the fall. Here in northern Colorado, while we do have some fall color, it is not nearly as spectacular as your photos show your home to be. Gorgeous.
Rosie,I think you are in a particularly beautiful part of Scotland.
Your pictures are absolutely lovely, the colours are amazing. We don't seem to have colours here that you have. I love this time of year.
This looks so interesting and the colors are so fall! We are about where you are with the fall changes and color.

What a fabulous frame! Your autumn is very beautiful. The autumn here in the tropics is no different from other seasons, except for some different flowers.
The frame and those leaves...so stunning. I'm glad I can stop by your blog and see the beauty of Scotland.
How beautiful Rosie. I love the concrete frame to highlight the garden. With the Fall colors now shining around the picture is lovely. Amazing!
Late Autumn is in full swing here, we had our first snow yesterday. It turned to rain and is gone now. I love the ancient church spire as well as the colourful foliage inside the frame. Europe, including GB, has so many historical views in all directions making the landscape extra special.
I'm not a big fan of sculpture in the garden, but I genuinely love the appearance of this frame. Perhaps because the artist did such a wonderful job incorporating it into the landscape, rather than detracting from it. I never would have guessed the installation was so recent. The color and texture of the stone, along with the growing lichens, make it look like it's as old as the church behind it. I also like how it draws the eye to scene in front of you. Just beautiful.
Wow...seriously beautiful images...the light was just so perfect...soft and tranquil!
Absolutely beautiful & so creative!!! I thoroughly enjoyed your post.
I showed my husband (who has Scottish heritage) and he was amazed at your photos!
I am following you now so I can keep up with your beautiful blog.
I am so awestruck right now! That photo of the corner of the frame with oak leaves is just beyond words Rosie!! I'm so glad you put this link in the scavenger hunt sunday because somehow I missed this yesterday!!
So gorgeous!!
Millais is a painter I really love, and that frame sculpture is a terrific idea. Thanks for sharing it.
"Viewpoint'... simply a wonderful work of art. Thank you Rosie, for sharing more of your Scotland, which I love, and your beautiful photos.
I felt as if I had stepped into another time and place looking at your photos...gorgeous! The old stone with the autumnal color is breathtaking!
Rosie, gorgeous shots of such a beautiful area of our country. If you haven't as yet realised your ambition in becoming a professional photographer, I think its time to pursue it. I am adding a picture of your garden and a link to your site on my (Your Gardens)page, if you don't want this let me know and I will remove it.
These are beautiful, such wonderfully autumnal colours. I had no idea Millais painted in Scotland!
