Last picture of 2007. Doesn't look too bad even though it was raining! While standing there, great masses of seagulls swept overhead at speed with a whoosh of their combined wing beats. There must have been 1000's roosting on the water. They were followed by masses of talkative geese! If you want to know what conditions were like nearby exactly one year ago here is the link: http://www.scotfot.smugmug.com/gallery/2306100/1/120552490/Large It was stormy, not like the tranquil scene you see here!

Finally... at Cockenzie Power Station
3.48 pm and the sun sets over Prestonpans. Wandering over for another day!From Cockenzie Power Station
Hmm... intrigued as to what was going on behind the power station... tootled round to find this...!Cockenzie Harbour
Which way to turn... a wandering photographer's dilemma... great storm over North Berwick or sun setting over great power station... went for the romantic option!Storm over North Berwick
Almost forgetting to look the other way from the setting sun... but glad I did... there seemed to be a terrific storm going on over there!
Cockenzie Power Station
Yesterday was grey, wet and generally poor for wandering photographers. This morning was very overcast... at 2pm ah... a chink of light! Grab camera, battery and card and off we went! With only 1.5 hours of the new found daylight left we ended up at my favourite power station! Great sky too!Friday, 28 December 2007
To bright up a grey day!
