Day out in MH at Allonby on the Cumbrian side of the Solway Firth.

Some nice autumnal sunshine showing Criffel at her best....

Amazing cloud formations against the blue sky....

Someone in SW Scotland, probably Kirkudbright, getting a soaking.

The turbines at Robin Rigg Windfarm just visible on the horizon.

What sign?
Stopped Glenbrittle (Isle of Skye) last night. Campsite closed.
Saw otter last night, and today from the hill you can just see in the photo saw a herd of red deer with a magnificent stag and then great view of a sea eagle flying past. Wow!

It’s got to be one of those sign where you just have to ask why??!!!!
 
Just showing you all a picture of my treasured RSPB clock bought for me years ago by a young, to me, funster.

Every hour the 'chime' is the birdsong of the bird on the picture. They reckoned without this numbo who can't work out how to change the song when the clocks go back or forward.

This morning my tawny owl woke me up singing, 'Cuckoo.'. :)

Thats apt :LOL:
 
We took Arthur’s Pass through the Southern Alps of NZ’s South Island and stopped for a look around the almost derelict settlement of Otira. It’s main purpose was to provide accommodation for the road and rail construction workers and now it looks very sad. There was no mistaking the Word of the Lord from the outside of the church.
Also, a few photos for the trainspotters amongst you.

I was there in 1999 and saw a small steam train unlike anything I'd seen before, never got a photo because of torrential rain which got us trapped in Queenstown for four days because of landslips. Apparently 2 metres of rain fell in just two days. Lake Wakatipu rose more than 10ft leaving Queenstown centre under 4ft of water in places. I have many family members living in the Christchurch area, I hope we can return soon it's been too long (y)

I well remember the floods in Queenstown.
You won’t recognise the place when you return and you certainly won’t recognise Christchurch after all the changes following the earthquakes.
I hope you’ll return before too long … the country needs your dollars!
