It has been a dreich winter, and seeing blue skies & fluffy clouds this week has been a treat but now my phone is full of cloud photos because they were just too splendid not to snap. Case in point

A photo of a blue sky with a large white fluffy cloud, dark trees below, and a bird flying above. The cloud has a hollow on the left hand side, to which I had added flat teeth so it forms an open mouth, and have added eyes above. It is gazing at the bird flying by. It looks happy. Whether it is excited to see the bird, or excited at the prospect of eating the bird, we do not know (although they are not the teeth of a predator, so I suspect the former).

What People Do

Lovely bit of dappled sunlight on the mountains. Scots Pines of the Caledonian Forest growing on the slopes. River trickling through a gorge.

Path intruding.

Disused quarry a gaping wound on the hillside.

Full of refuse - 10 oil tanks, a caravan, farm slurry tanker and a boat amongst other things.

A year ago, the quarry floor was also full of rainwater with oil-slick rainbows.

Prints etc: https://shiny.photo/photo/What-People-Do-4e1d0c5874ff8168311b45e4a87de394

A beautiful bit of landscape with sunlight on mountains, Scots Pine trees in the Caledonian Forest... and the local estate has been using a former quarry as a dumping ground for 10 oil tanks, a farm slurry tanker, a boat, toilets, microwaves, other white goods and wire mesh fencing for over a year.

SEPA don't give a fuck - "private land, they can do what they want".
Council Planning don't care either - "stuff is coming and going and it's hidden from public view".
Is it bollocks. Anyone interested in rockology can wander from the main road 100yd into the former quarry in accordance with the Outdoor Access Code and be confronted with puddles covered in rainbows from the oil slicks.

Humanity is disgusting and there's no one organization with the power or the balls to fix it.

Greenlaw Town Hall, in the heart of Greenlaw in the Scottish Borders. Built between 1829 and 1831, it has been beautifully restored after years of dereliction. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/greenlaw/greenlaw/index.html

Greenlaw Town Hall. The image shows a grand but diminutive stone building from a corner angle. The frontage faces to our left. It has single-storey wings either side of a central section that has columns and is topped off by a dome. The sky is blue.

A photograph of the Isle of Skye coastline in the Inner Hebrides, Scotland, taken in monochrome with a long exposure. Jagged coastal rocks emerge from the smooth, mist-like surface of the sea, their rough texture contrasting with the water’s softened appearance. In the distance, mountains rise faintly, their peaks partially obscured by low-hanging clouds, adding depth to the scene.

Any recommendations for #potters in #Scotland? I need a new really big, durable, quirky mug. Or two. My attempt at wabi-sabi on the ancient mug has failed

@MadeyeTheCarnaptious Never… it’s being used as a tool to keep the #SNP and #independence for #Scotland off the radar. The fight must regain its energy and continue. I don’t believe they have any evidence, and it’s surely cost much more in police and legal time than any ‘findings’ they ever make.

Here's the view of last night's eclipse, taken from the back door. We were lucky to have a totally clear sky, and there's almost no light pollution too
