Out of Boddam

Having a laugh listening to "out of doors" on radio scotland. In a cold car, rain hammering against the windows and against me when i open the window to see where the sun will rise. I doubt i'll get the chance to use the tripod. Hey ho.

MapLink: Car park, south of Boddam, on A90.

This useful site has the sunrise/sunset times, but the sunrise was mugged today by a North Sea cloudbank. Warm clothing and a thermos in the car. I had intended to stop in Peterhead and get some snaps, but the light was poor, so went shopping (bumping into Stu from the wargames club), then to a mate's for tea, and got a free pub lunch for helping fix a problem with her Dad's computer. Then spent most of afternoon asleep on my sofa. A lazy day.

Just noticed that I hadn't set the EOS clock to GMT. Oops. I can't try and blame Lay for that one.

Coincidentally, "Scotland's Music" on the TV just now has Phil Cunningham talking to Aly Bain about the light that falls on Scotland (MediaLink).
