Bunte Bilder

Draußen ist alles grau und dunkel. Darum ein paar schöne bunte Bilder wenngleich auch vom letzten Winter... Aufgenommen hier.
  
Für bessere Bilder googled mal "Olafur Eliasson" und "Rainbow Panorama".

November


I spent a weekend in St Andrews. This was the last bit missing along the coastline between Kirkcaldy and Dundee that I had not explored yet.

Cycling to Bo'ness

While this post is entitled "cycling to Bo'ness - the intention was to cycle along the Forth and Clyde Canal to Edinburgh - Needless to say I got lost - completely.
This didn't help either.
After cycling for many miles along the oil refinery in Grangemouth I came to Bo'ness.
Where I found the Railway station with all its treasures...
...and nature along the railway lines.
I found a monkey smoking a big Cuban cigar.
Great views, bit clouds, a summer thunderstorm...

a family of ugly ducklings...
and impressive skies
Loved cycling up and down the rolling paths - wet and shiny from the summer rain.

Cylcing on rolling hills - flying can't be better.


I had not planned to cycle to Grangemouth - no one plans to cycle for miles along an oil refinery - but on the the way back - from the distance -  it was almost beautiful.

Natural history on the mantlepiece

Found yesterday at the Holy Loch (no, I didn't take the big crab - I was worried it may start to smell and it was just too big).

The Holy Loch

Finally, the sun came back today - at two in the afternoon I decidet to cycle to the station and to take the next train that would get me to the sea. I went to Gourock, took the ferry to Dunoon and cycled along the Holy Loch.  
 
Foxgloves in pink and white everywhere.

Need to look this up...

Two insects - I was about to take another sea pink picture - and then I looked closer and found the couple...


A brown crab (Cancer pagurus) - I think...

Back on the ferry.
