blustery day at Balquhain

This little corner of the world is being battered
by gusty winds and blustery showers
I took a walk up around Balquhain,
to have a break from reading
and had to hold on to my hat.
I find the wind very exciting
Mrs N thinks it makes me a bit batty
as indeed, apparently, does the full moon
and months with an 'R' in them.

Beautiful scene. To be outdoors at the beginning of a thunderstorm is one of life's great pleasures.

Great composition and sepia tones. Very dynamic image even at first looks static. The lines contributing so great. Vote.

There's something special about the howling winds of winter... This is a gorgeous shot - vote

Looks like here earlier as predicted... ...but then the sun came out. Weatherforecaster job opening soon in San Diego I suspect. : )

How does Mrs N know it's the wind that makes you batty?

I don't think I've read the word 'blustery' since I read The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh to my children. It's a great word. I love the sun on the house and fields. Nicely captured.

Batty or not, this is excellent...conveys the "cold."

J. Scott Coile		12-Jan-2007 19:33
Great light and toning Northie!

Coleen Perilloux Landry		12-Jan-2007 19:07

lovely - everything about this - I too find the wind exciting and I'm sure that makes me completely certifiable

Zak		12-Jan-2007 18:31
The windy-ness!

A lovely sepia, don't worry about being a bit batty. WE ALL ARE.
