While over at Creetown today I took a walk along the disused jetty and quay below Kirkmabreck quarry.
Here's a few of the pictures I took.
Is this a long billed curlew ?
It looks like I didn't quite get my panorama to join up.
It's also full screen on Panogio here. Wigtown Bay
Wigtown looks a stone's throw away.It's 13 miles by road from here.
Here's some teasel.
Nearly the same view without the teasel.There's talk of re-opening this jetty.It'll need a lot of repair first.
This is one beautiful optical illusion from the ground,not so much from the photo.
The burn flowing through the muddy channels appears to be flowing to a point under the river.If that's the case the river must also be going down the same hole.I can see when I zoom in now that I'm looking at another mud bank.
Still it's weird looking.
Here's a different view of Kirkmabreck Quarry.....
It's from this next picture which I cropped and rotated.
It was a good light for pictures today,and an enjoyable little walk.
Cant beat a good reflection shot.
