August sky


The dark skies of August, above Ben Rinnes and the River Spey. Scotland's August flowers are in the foreground - rosebay willowherb and seeding thistles.

I love this particular spot on the river. Each time I'm home in the next year I'm going to take a photo from here.

More skies around the world are at Skywatch Friday.

  4. I thought I recognised that peak!

    That is very much like the sky we have had today. Looks like the blue has gone away for a few days.

  25. If it´s not broken why fix it? Every year you will just refine your view in different lights. Getting deeper all the time just like the dark shades here.

  28. The temperatures here in DXB rise up to 52 Degrees Celsius in August. Looking at such artistically captured beauty brought sheer pleasure to my eyes.
