When I lived on the Bristol Channel area of the West of England it was famous for its magnificent sunsets facing west & relatively flat land you got them in all their glory. But I am sorry to say here in the Cairngorms I think we better them, not sure if it because the hills add that extra special dark shadows over the land, making the sky look even more dramatic, or, the unpolluted clean air we have. Not very often that we get such a clear crisp day, with plenty of sunshine as today & when you do you just think “tonight’s sunset could be good” & boy it was good tonight. It does help that our main windows all face West & that we can see it getting better & better as the sun sets.
I hope my photography shows it off to its best, not post processed these images at all, this is as it was (honest).
Just a bit of news from the village, on Thursday the church hall was taken over by the Pitlochry Medical practice to provides all the village “old” folk (over 65) with their flu jabs. This is a real community event & everybody meets people they most probably have not seen since last years jab, so a lot of blethering goes on & such fun, as we all move along to await our turn. A bit like musical chairs without the music. Anyway a grand total of 85 folks had their jabs, just shows you what a fit & fairly healthy bunch of “oldies” we have here.
