A rainbow seemingly sitting on top of the dam wall at the end of Loch Glascarnoch on the Inverness-Ullapool road. The buildings in front of the dam are those of the Aultguish Inn - or, as my son commented, the Anguish Inn if the dam leaks!
I spotted this mountain like cloud with a flat top, known as a cumulonimbus in the Beagle Channel.This type of cloud usually means a storm may be on its way.
Prehistoric giant came up from the ocean, from the North Sea.
It's resting here
Its head all down, facing his home
Laying on its belly
Arms all flat on the lovely beach
Resting before it will take a deep dive into the ocean again
It's trying to camouflage
But I spotted it
I'm not telling anyone
Promise
"Why you fool, it's the educated reader who CAN be gulled.
All our difficulty comes with the others. When did you meet a workman who believes the papers? He takes it for granted that they're all propaganda and skips the leading articles. He buys his paper for the football results and the little paragraphs about girls falling out of windows and corpses found in Mayfair flats. He is our problem. We have to recondition him. But the educated public, the people who read the high-brow weeklies, don't need reconditioning. They're all right already. They'll believe anything."
[C. S. Lewis]

Abandoned cafe with the Guadalupe Mountains in the distance.
Just outside the community there is a dry salt pan called Salt Flat Playa or Salt Basin. It straddles the New Mexico-Texas border and is about 150 miles long, and 5 to 15 miles wide making it one of the largest gypsum playas in the United States.
The Grand Tetons from Willow Flats on a fine autumn day. I am thrilled the weather has returned and a week of boring blue sky is gone.
Sometimes things don't work out as planned. We had wanted to visit a well preserved ruin called the Moon House, so named because the phases of the moon are painted on the walls of one of the interior rooms. We were thwarted by icy conditions on the descent into the canyon. The route down goes across an icy snowy area then one has to slide down an icy slope and land on a pile of rocks. We decided that if somehow we made it down the ice to the rock pile, the return back up the icy slope would be beyond my capabilities. Also, there likely would be more icy descents we couldn't see from here. So we traveled along the rim and got an exterior shot. But no shot of the moon phases, sadly. Another time perhaps.
