I've been out and about over the Christmas break, taking photographs.
Here are a few from the Rest and Be Thankful, on the way to a favourite spot of mine for painting, Hell's Glen. It's on the way from Arrochar to Inverary. Originally an old cattle droving road, it was later a military road built around the time of the '45. Nowadays, the winding old military road makes a good classic car hill climb (I speak from experience).
The weather was pouring with rain one minute, then sleet, and then sudden bright sunshine and blue skies with fast-moving white cloud - perfect!

I had a helper.
It's a darling little lady chaffinch, who must have been very hungry, as she flew down to the car window without fear. All I had to give her were a few crumbs. Fortunately, my car is always full of crumbs.
She was very grateful.
That is a spectacular section of road, and I love your photographs.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
ReplyDeleteIt was a magnificent day - I've been to the Rest plenty of times, but it always seemed to be overcast, and didn't give a real impression of the distance. On this occasion, the contrast of the orange, sunlit side and the side in purple shadow made for a really spectacular view down the glen.
