This incredible lightning barrage is a 4 exposures blending, shot on 2 sept 2015, in less than 3 minutes. It was a really good night for me!!
Sutherland is a historic county, registration county and lieutenancy area in the Highlands of Scotland. Its county town is Dornoch. Sutherland borders Caithness to the east, Ross-shire to the south and the Atlantic to the north and west.
In Gaelic, the area is referred to according to its traditional areas: Dùthaich MhicAoidh (or Dùthaich 'IcAoidh) in the northeast, Asainte (Assynt) in the west, and Cataibh in the east. Cataibh is also sometimes used to refer to the area as a whole.
The name Sutherland dates from the era of Norwegian Viking rule and settlement over much of the Highlands and Islands, under the rule of the jarl of Orkney. Although it contains some of the northernmost land in the island of Great Britain, it was called Suðrland ("southern land") from the standpoint of Orkney and Caithness.
The northwest corner of Sutherland, traditionally known as the Province of Strathnaver, was not incorporated into Sutherland until 1601. This was the home of the powerful and warlike Clan Mackay, and as such was named in Gaelic, Dùthaich 'Ic Aoidh, the Homeland of Mackay. Even today this part of Sutherland is known as Mackay Country, and, unlike other areas of Scotland where the names traditionally associated with the area have become diluted, there is still a preponderance of Mackays in the Dùthaich.
Like its southern neighbour Ross-shire, Sutherland has some of the most dramatic scenery in the whole of Europe, especially on its western fringe where the mountains meet the sea. These include high sea cliffs, and very old mountains composed of Precambrian and Cambrian rocks.
Much of the population is based in coastal towns, such as Helmsdale and Lochinver, which until very recently made much of their living from the rich fishing of the waters around the British Isles.
Much of Sutherland is poor relative to the rest of Scotland, with few job opportunities beyond government funded employment, agriculture and seasonal tourism.
Further education is provided by North Highland College, part of the University of the Highlands and Islands. The Ross House Campus in Dornoch was the first establishment in the United Kingdom to provide a degree in Golf management. The Burghfield House Campus, also in Dornoch, is a hotel school.
I'm so thankful to my mum and sister for growing such beautiful flowers in their gardens for me to photograph, there's been jokes going around that they're going to start charging me per upload LOL

The hills in San Francisco are quite amazing. A trek up California Ave will allow you to see this magnificent view. You can see part of the Bay Bridge in the center background.

Glenda the duck likes her roots done once a month.
"Look at this Brenda the duck", she goes, "totally let herself go, how can a self respecting duck show up in public with hair do like that! Greys and all! "
=====
The duck walked right in to the hairdressers, spent a few minutes there walking about , checking things out, then walked out and proceeded to Drycleaners next door, walked in, checked things out , then walked in the direction of a cobbler next door ...
=====
I'd have a perfect soundtrack for it if I only could remember the damn song, it has a line in it "I dye my roots - you ..."
first problem I can't remember what "you" does
second problem I don't remember whose song that is
all I know it is a girl and one of my all time favourites
that can only be one of these girls
Aimee Mann, Dido, Lily Allen, Barbra Streisand, KD Lang, Michelle Shocked, Lana Del Rey, Mary Black
I dismiss Barbra and Mary and KD and Michelle - none of them sound plausible for this line . Dido is a boarderline possibility.
It leaves me with Aimee, Lily and Lana
for the life of me I can't remember the damn song but I do remember it's a good one
my desperate googling spits out recipes for hair dyes
I don't want to dye my efing hair! I want an effing song!
this is very frustrating indeed
PS 4 hours later
... and then sure enough I remembered
and the song is not by a girl
and the line is a bit different but still some roots dyeing going on
and it is a rocking number from one of my favourites so I am happy, I am sure Glenda would love the tune

It’s disconcerting how visually awesome dangerous, deadly & bad natural phenomena are.
Folding near the upper left corner, although obvious, especially when obliquely viewed, doesn’t detract from the overall image.

Laugardalshöll - 2 sept 2007
Got very special restriction about taking picturers at this concert. Must be 70 m distance from the stage. Hard and very difficult to get sometihng nice from this session.
Kröfurnar við þessa töku voru mjög spes, þurftum að vera aftast, eða við áhorfendabekkina, og til hliðar. Afar erfit að ná einhverju skemmtilegu úr þessu og gera þetta gott um leið. Guð blessi zoom og 1.4x
