24th February 2006 Loanhead of Daviot

Took a drive out to Daviot,
it's in the middle of nowhere.
It was cold today, and there were dark clouds,
but as I reached the stones the sun came out.
The wind dropped too and it warmed up.
As I left the clouds came back and the wind picked up again.
The spookiness...

Nikon D50
1/1600s f/8.0 at 18.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

How appropriate for those jetsetters to be roaring past. Think of how fast their minds are moving—worried about email, their jobs, their schedules. Think of the stones' setters—how long would it have taken them to travel the distance that plane goes in a day?

Wonderful scene, love the way the light falls on the stones, almost like a spotlight. The sky is so dramatic, I can almost feel the crispness....

Beautiful colours and mood, love the capture of the airplane too.

Amazing sky. And you make the whole scene look a little brooding ... even with the airplane.

Great shot and even an airplane heading into the clouds. You must be the weather whisperer.

My kind of picture! Clouds, blue sky, stones, trees and a bit of aviation. Great colours and bags of interest. GMV
