Skywatch Friday - violin and rabbit




As seen from the A9 south of Dalwhinnie, a woman wearing a crinoline, playing a violin. That south-bound journey a couple of weeks ago was a good one for clouds. Below, near Kingussie. Does anyone else see a rabbit?


And looking almost good as new, but minus a roof, Ruthven barracks at Kingussie. Completed in 1721 after the Jacobite uprising of 1715, it was one of four fortified barracks designed to help subdue the Scots.


More skies around the world are at Skywatch Friday.

    Great photos with a big sky look. I do see the rabbit! I love the scene in the second shot especially. Lovely landscapes away from the hustle and bustle of life...

    I thought that barracks looked familiar, and I checked my map. We passed it three weeks ago on our way back to Edinburgh from the Highlands.

    (But I don't see a rabbit. I did see some rabbit droppings in the Highlands.)

    So that's what that building is!

    Have you seen the Wolfstone futher up the A9? It sounds more romatic than it is.

    I see the woman and violin. I'm not sure about the rabbit. The skies and countryside are beautiful!

    I saw a rabbit in profile, drinking from a stein.

    I just love your country. Must get back there again some time.

    I see some moody skies over your way too - a sign of the time of year me thinks. I also see a rabbit. Have a great week.
