I took the camera when we drove to Huntly this morning for the rugby, shopping and recycling run. I wanted to see if I could get a different perspective of the croft’s location by getting some shots from the side of Red Hill. I had to take the photographs from inside the Land Rover as the OH drove it slowly up the narrow hill road as there’s no space to pull over and a succession of blind bends make driving interesting at the best of times. To make the job even more challenging, the sun was low to the south and lens flare was a real issue.
Most of the images were not a success, but I did get these two. The first is the view to the south-west from Red Hill. The second is the view to the south-east, with Bennachie on the horizon at the left and Dunnideer just inside and below that. Our croft lies on a line extending from the front oleft of the saddle between the Hill of Christ’s Kirk and the Hill of Flinder, the two prominent hills just left of centre.
Very pretty photos!
So much sky!
