We live on the West Coast in Cumbria, we get some beautiful colours in the sky as the sun is getting low. This was Christmas day 2021 our after lunch before dessert walk. The coast on the horizon over the water is Scotland.
……Not a particularly good shot but interesting how far you can see from the top of Sale Fell - Solway Firth and Scotland off beyond, a stitch of two shots taken hand held on an enjoyable Fell walk. As for wind - there was plenty on top of Sale Fell so I’m sure it would be coming up the Firth!!! BTW, it's not as near as it looks - more than a stroll away which is what it looks😃 Mid point of the week and going well I hope, stay cosy & locked down to stay safe and to keep EVERYONE else safe too! A VERY BIG THANK YOU to ALL the key workers who are carrying on to benefit the rest of us - we applaud you all. Alan;-)👏👏👏👏👏

looking back along the coast as the sun goes down. Haig Pit the last last survivor of our coal mining heritage which is long closed stands in silhouette as a monument to all the proud miners who worked in the pits of the area. Over the water on the horizon is the coast of Scotland. I am so lucky to have this view and this proud heritage. I have to say further along the coast we have huge wind turbines on the energy coast of which I am also very proud, I believe this has to be the way forward for us all.
Over The Tops 🌹
This was captured late in December 2021, not the best of pictures but the light was playing some wonderful tricks, west coast magic again taken from the tops at "Windy Kells"

The 1905 Edwardian-era Bandstand with its Birdcage Style design and wrought iron balustrade with a pinnacle roof.
Donated to the people of Kirkintilloch by Baillie David Perry who later became the Provost of the town, it was also a product of the local long-gone Lion Foundry.
Renovated in the early 2000's and re-dedicated by the late great Magnus Magnusson KBE (Mastermind Quizmaster) who lived in the area on March 1st 2003. The Bandstand was designated a Category C Listed Building from 1979
Scottish moorland at the Hermaness Nature Reserve, approaching Muckle Flugga Lighthouse, the most northerly building in the UK.
The golden arc of Earlsferry Beach hugs the edge of the Kingdom of Fife, looking out over the Firth of Forth with quiet authority. Once a medieval ferry point for pilgrims en route to St Andrews, Earlsferry takes its name from the “earls” who crossed here long before bridges spanned the Forth.
Today, it’s a peaceful retreat with a storied past — flanked by dunes, golf links, and the enduring rhythm of tide and wind.

L’arc doré de la plage d’Earlsferry embrasse la côte du royaume de Fife, surplombant paisiblement le Firth of Forth. Jadis un point de traversée pour les pèlerins se rendant à St Andrews, le village tire son nom des “earls” qui empruntaient cette route bien avant la construction des ponts sur l’estuaire.
Aujourd’hui, c’est un havre de paix chargé d’histoire — bordé de dunes, de terrains de golf, et du murmure éternel des marées.
Portencross Pier as the tide is coming in. The sun was setting off to the right and the long exposure allowed the colours although muted to the eye to be picked up by the sensor.
Or maybe it was just the glow from the nuclear power plant around the headland!
Still need to reset the time for summertime
