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.

  3. 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!

    My 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.

  8. Perhaps those flying saucers change their shapes to get better angles for spying on us humans.

    Beautiful hills there in Scotland.

  10. 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.
