Flaming June!!!!

Another day and night of rain!

The often visited tree line

I have not had much time for personal work over the last few days. So when I got home I took myself and my camera out to a hill and line of trees that I have photographed many time. Because the foreground is very simple and the main interest is in the clouds, this image is always different every time I visit.

Beacons

Tonight I was the lighting of the Jubilee Beacon on Windmill Hill. A great crowd and a lovely night after a wet morning.

After a couple of days of long drives I stayed near to home today. Firstly I visited the Titan Crane at Clydebank, and then on to the new transport museum in Glasgow.

Odds and ends

No theme or special trips today.

Art Deco

A theme across two of the buildings I photographed today is Art Deco.

Firstly the India Tyre factory frontage at Inchinnan And then Nardinis at Largs. Still a great place to get Ice Cream.

The Trossachs

I drove up to Aberfoyle and over the Dukes Pass.

A walk up into the slate quarries and then a drive around the three lochs.

Day of Two Parts

This AM I was up and around in Glasgow. Later I was down on the Clyde coast looking at that the sunset.

Traveling Home

Even though I left home over 30 years ago, I still refer to the trip to Scotland as going home. It is about 435 miles if I go direct, but as I do the trip three or four times a year the direct route is getting very boring. 

This trip I did the usual A2/M25/M1/M6/M74 but this time I cut across the hills of Southern Scotland to visit Leadhills and Wanlockhead. Located high in the hills the two villages were the home to lead miners. The mines are long closed and are now the home of several museums.

Union Flags

The flags are out in Piccadilly for the Jubilee. With the light behind and a lot of HDR processing the image looked a bit painterly.

Seven Dials and The Temple Church

Two places I passed through in London were The Temple church in The Inner Temple just off Fleet St, and The Seven dials area near Covent Garden.
