Storm over the Pentland Hills


The day and probably the world ended!

Storm over the Pentland Hills





Auchencorth Moss

It started to get worse...

Murky rainbow over Auchencorth Moss

Tonight was stormy

Tweedsmuir Kirk, Scottish Borders

OK, I have cheated... this was taken on Sunday - it is up on Tuesday because I like it!

Haar

The Wandering photographer and the locals now enveloped in the fog... time to go home :-)

Ah Haar!

Cold swirling fog rolling in from the sea!

Auchencorth Moss... looking the other way

Hmmmm there are supposed to be hills there!

Pentland Hills tonight!

But what is that in the distance rolling in....

Fishing nets


Rosebay Willowherb

In the evening sun...

Near Beeswing, Dumfries

The first night there was thunder and lightning and torrential rain - second - it was hazy - a very difficult light

Orchardton Tower, near Dalbeattie

Looking out!

Looking down...

Orchardton Tower, near Dalbeattie

Looking up

Orchardton Tower, near Dalbeattie

Out of thousands of tower houses in Scotland - this is the only round one!

Fishing

Light still a bit flat...

Tweedsmuir Kirk

Flowers in the window.

Devil's Beef Tub, near Moffat

Atmospheric on the way home - but at least the sun was out - for scale, you can just see the road on the top of the hill on the right

Solway Firth

Been away for a few days - weather was bad :-)

Hole in the sky

A quiet evening not much happening

Tuesday 22 July 2008

Suddenly there was a hole, Ninemileburn

The weather was really overcast and I thought I may not get an image tonight - but this presented itself for my eager clicking finger!

Cockenzie Power Station

Stopped on the way home to snap the power station

North Berwick

Looking across the Firth of Forth. The Lomond Hills can be seen in the far distance.

North Berwick Law

Sporting its new whalebones on the top

North Berwick

Another distant shower

North Berwick

A passing shower - fortunately it passed well away from me!

North Berwick beach

Middle of summer and it was cold!

Waves, North Berwick


Inhabitant of North Berwick

Littorina litorea, commonly known as periwinkle or winkle for short, making a long journey. This was a tiny one!
