About a 45 minute drive West from Page AZ, you'll come to Toadstool Hoodoos, Utah. We got here for sunset, and the hike in was further than anticipated. Had to stay for the sunset of course, so getting back out to the car became a bit of a challenge, as it got darker and darker. I'll confess that we overshot the car by a good 100 metres (300 ft), but a huge shout-out to some awesome fellow Canuks who yelled back in the failing light, we managed to make our way back before the cayotes, scorpions and tarantulas started their evening strolls. :-o
The rock strata of Elgol at low tide acts as a stage, with the gorgeous backdrop of the Black Cuillin across Loch Scavaig.

A bullnosed awning overhanging a window. Covered with layers of irregular corrugated iron, very unlike the style in Australia where a single sheet of corrugated iron is curved.
Real knowledge, or what is better called wisdom, is not a triumph over mystery but a rapport with the mystery—and with the meaning for which it stands.

Dante had become a not unfamiliar figure in Verona. Boccaccio tells of several Veronese ladies who saw him walking by one day. They were struck and a little frightened by his appearance, his face fixed in gloom and smudged as though by soot, his beard bristling as though tinged with fire. He seemed, they thought, a character emerging from his own Inferno.
-R. W. B. Lewis, Dante; A Life
Well we headed to White Rock which I don't often do because of the crowds of people. Well on a mid-week morning not only was there no crowds but the parking was free, oh and the views are decent ;) Kris...
Posbank Veluwezoom a week ago on cold and frosty morning where in this shot the first warm sun light was melting the ice on the heather, giving it a nice warm orange tone.

Like the northern lights I completely missed out on the rare appearance of snow down here this week. North Dorset, Wiltshire and even Weston got a dumping but nothing whatsoever on the South Coast.
Still what can beat seeing snow covered mountains? Taken handheld with my 200mm lens which has been repaired (after I slipped on ice and dropped it). I was £500 lighter but I'm getting it back through my home insurance and it's like a new lens. Result!
I bet North Wales is even more beautiful this week but its maybe unlikely I'd be able to get around.
Have a lovely weekend x
