I'm trying to shake off a cold, sore throat and phlegmy (I know there's no such word, but it suits me) cough, so I'm off up to the phone mast.
I'm trying to shake off a cold, sore throat and phlegmy (I know there's no such word, but it suits me) cough, so I'm off up to the phone mast.
I'm heading over the frosty fields by Barbuchany.
A rusty bucket's my first picture today.
Once I'm up at the mast it's still misty, but clearing. I don't have to wait long before a window in the mist opens.
There's a thin ribbon of a view between the low cloud and the mist below.
That's Larg Hill and Lamachan in view. Newton Stewart's down in that mist.
Now to the north east the mist is clearing. I spot a distant farm that I think must be 'Risk' since it's in that direction.
As I zoom in I realize that it's not Risk but is Barncaughla
I keep zooming in for a few pictures.
As I've said before, I don't need an extra zoom lens with my Powershot SX40HS
I move over to the east to overlook the river.
I set the video running as I have a coffee
I think the tide's just turning
The A75 has the occasional convoy passing.
Heading back into town.
My next door neighbours feeder finishes the pictures today.
I should be OK to lead Saturday's walk up Knockdolian
