Is it Monday already? Quayside scenes at Gairloch harbour on the Scottish Highlands famously beautiful west coast. See alt text for description. #westcoast #eastcoastkin #blueskymonday

An old tyre protects the black, rusty steel hull of a fishing trawler from the blue-painted trawl door hanging over the side.

A blue plastic perforated tray lying against a half-red, half-white plastic fishbox propped up by some old, rusty trawl doors on the quayside.

Here’s one for #BlueSkyMonday and #MountainMonday Blue skies over Cairngorm Mountain and the Lairig Ghru; a layer of altocumulus fractures the rays beaming down on Glenmore from a glaring sun, now high in the sky in early March. This was yesterday - no blue skies here today :(

$Blue skies over Cairngorm; a layer of altocumulus fractures the rays beaming down on Glenmore from a glaring sun, now high in the sky in early March. Pity about that weedy birch tree that blocks the view. I could easily have moved to the side to avoid it but I would have had to get up off my rock…$

I lost count at thirty, but I must admit I have a particularly bad case of pareidolia.

Seeing ‘faces’ in weathered stone near Albany, Western Australia. An effect referred to as pareidolia.

The last rays of the evening light catch the pine tree tops by the path round Loch an Eilein. #lochaneilein #rothiemurchus #lastofthelight

Evening light catches the tops of a group of pine trees which appear to be growing out of a rough stone wall at Loch an Eilein.

The last shafts of the evening light graze the castle on the island on Loch an Eilein under a vast blue sky with diffuse contrails spreading left to right

Lenticular clouds regularly form to the north of the Cairngorm plateau with southerly winds, and the view from my window at dawn is a great thing to wake up to. These, from a few days ago, became more defined but lost their colour as the sun rose. #frommywindow #clouds #dawn #sunrise #stormhour

These unusual clouds, lit by a fiery dawn, formed over the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland on 17th January 2022. This was coincidentally two days after the Tonga volcano eruption sent shock waves round the globe. I like to imagine there was a connection. #StormHour #competition #photography
