Amazing! Sometimes in Aberdeen, in the winter, we see big white lumps of clouds off to the East / Southeast. I heard once on the news that they often come during cold weather, and that they have a local name ("bullers"?).
Hi Linda, Beautiful and atmospheric photos, I do miss Edinburgh! To top it all, I learnt today that Nigel Kennedy did an impromptu performance at Whiski Bar last night! Bah!!
Hi Christine - this brings back memories. They're snow clouds - the 'bullers of Buchan'. I looked up the term on Google but couldn't find any reference to that context - just to collapsed caves and a village in Buchan. A closely guarded Doric secret, obviously.
Chrissie, good to have a visit from another 'local' blogger. I have only ever passed through Manchester by train, so will look forward to seeing something outside of the station.
RedPat, thank you. I got some funny looks from passers by - not an obvious, all singing and dancing sunrise.
The Chieftess - I liked the way the clouds formed lumps and bumps.
Adrienne, there are quite a few bits of building. One steeple, an observatory, a device to let shipping in the Firth of Forth know when it's one o'clock, and the National Monument, commemorating soldiers who fell in the Napoleonic wars.
Denise, sometimes even grey can be nice, can't it!
Mary, clouds are such a beautiful part of the world. Useful and beautiful at the same time.
Hello Gary, sorry to make you nostalgic. I hadn't heard about Nigel Kennedy. The Whiski Bar is just round the corner from where I work - not that it's a regular lunchtime haunt of mine.
Welcome Jeanne. Thanks for following. I love Pamela's blog - it's always such a treat for the soul.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely atmosphere they provide.

It is a beautiful low light sky.
