Skywatch Friday - flying saucer and moon over Craigellachie
It's definitely the moon, pale in the nine o'clock sunshine on an early July evening. And it's definitely Craigellachie, nestled at the head of the valley. And it looked like a flying saucer to me, especially since it changed shape, as flying saucers are meant to do (tho to what end I'm not sure).
That annoying golden eagle is back in my shots again, or perhaps it's never gone away. I thought I'd cleaned the sensor. Perhaps it was one of my many 'must dos' that if repeated often enough trick you into thinking you've done it.
More skies in glorious diversity at the Skywatch Friday site.
I like what you've done here. These are so very peaceful.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah..... hope it didn't whisk you away, 'cause I want to come back to your blog again later!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot - one of the best.
What a brilliant UFO! Wish I'd seen it. One of the good things about Skywatch is that I'm keeping my eyes open and looking upwards!
ReplyDeleteMy view was looking south from Covesea. I think it is Quarrywood and Monaughty Forest on the skyline.
We loved the graduation day! It couldn't have been better. Thanks for your comments and glad that you enjoyed seeing Edinburgh through our country bumpkin eyes!
Arthur's Seat in a heatwave is still to come.
a flying saucer with attic space!
ReplyDeleteLove that cloud, I mean UFO.Great photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat cloud! It does look rather like a UFO flying to the moon.
ReplyDeleteoh i like these captures. and yes, the moment i looked at the capture i thought flying saucer and i had not ever read the caption.
ReplyDeletehave a wonderful weekend.
Perhaps those flying saucers change their shapes to get better angles for spying on us humans.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hills there in Scotland.
Certainly looks like a UFO to me.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture!
Wonderful photography! I really like the pictures you've taken of the loch and the sea. Many of my shots are by the water too, an important element in my life.
ReplyDeleteVery sci-fi. Isn't it amazing, the various types of clouds that grace the sky?
ReplyDeleteA flying saucer it is!!! WOW!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Linda, I love your UFO.Craigellechie is one of our favourite walking areas and I am looking forward to going again soon
ReplyDeleteOh, that´s a nice lonely lenticularis-cloud. That´s just one of the gifts of living in mountain area!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful captures...hope your visitors were friendly.
ReplyDeleteSmiles
I think the second UFO looks like a squashed wedding hat. Well spotted!
ReplyDeleteMarvellous wave cloud. My husband (as a sailplane pilot) goes ape for them. I'll send him this way.
