A Living Kaleidoscope

This is a striking video. It gets really, really interesting when the budgies arrive.

Sunset from Knapdale

On my way to Kintyre last weekend, I took a detour to Knapdale and Loch Sween. No real reason, but I had time, and I thought the sunset might be good.

I think I was right. I stopped with a view west to the Paps of Jura, which were snow covered, and to Gigha, Islay and, eventually, Ireland and the Atlantic. There were cormorants and gulls; and a large, yellow sun.

Walking on Kintyre

It was a cold weekend, and that meant the air was clear. (Or vice versa.) The light was beautiful.

I walked along the coast in both directions – north for a couple of miles towards Tarbert, and south to Claonaig.

Sunset and Sunrise from Kintyre

It was a good weekend for sunsets. I watched the sun go down behind Carradale from the jetty at Claonaig.

When I left on Monday morning, I saw the sun rise over Arran; the clouds made it spectacular.
