Last light over the Pentland Hills


Auchencorth Moss

Storm coming... again - where would we be without stormy weather to photograph!

Sun gone...


Auchencorth Moss

Just caught it!

End of the day storm, Auchencorth Moss

On the way back from Peebles we stopped off for good storm clouds :-)

Heron in the River Tweed







Larch trees in their autumn colours


Autumnal view, near Eddleston


Glorious beech tree, near Eddleston


Hills above Eddleston


Hills at Eddleston

Rain, rain, rain... and then for a few glorious minutes the sun came out... then rain, rain rain... This and the next few pictures were all taken within a few minutes of each other!

Morning glow

Yesterday we had atrocious weather, today is not much better, but early on a flash of sun before another passing squall lit up my favourite tree!

Golden cow

Auchencorth Moss. A cow catches the last rays of sunlight....

Its grim up here! Edinburgh in all its glory.

The weather has not been too good - managed to snap this picture at lunchtime before running down the hill before the torrential rain. As the rain/hailstones started I was fortuitously passing my car - so I dived in and sat for 15 minutes for it to ease of before going back to work :-)

Stopped off at Blackford Hill for the sunset - chilled to the bone here... freezing cold wind!

Spent some time chillin' out in a graveyard with a dead rat :-)

Autumnal forest

...so most people can find whole hillsides of autumnal colours - I found this... in Princes Street Gardens

Saturday night on Auchencorth Moss




This storm front was gradually working its way across the moors - a bit later it got me!

Friday night on Auchencorth Moss



I rarely take a sky image without a bit of ground to... well.... ground the photo, but here is two!

Its getting cold now on an evening on the moor.
