    Nice capture Ranald,
    Neat lighting

  • Ranald replied

    Thanks Jeremy. The sun had just slid below the hill but still gives a nice touch I think.

    Wow, very impressive!

  • Ranald replied

    Thanks Kasia. I have often wondered if ours is the only flag which ever appears in the sky.

    Beautiful, when I look at it it seems as if it is moving…

  • Ranald replied

    Thanks Nate. I hoped that would happen but it really was only a hope. I am delighted that you see it.

    This is stunning. Directed to your site by Andygii. Wow

  • Ranald replied

    Thank you! He’s a star is Andy (a disa-star)!

  • chijude

    chijude

    I am sure he is waiting to see what your comment would be!!

  • Ranald replied

    Maybe he’ll get round to it once he’s finished fluffing up his tutu.

  • chijude

    chijude

    We can only hope … I think he put his tutu away for his latest Gairdner shot.

    Excellent image!

    What’s the chance of this happening again with such a beautiful backdrop!

  • Ranald replied

    Fairly high possibly Paul but, worthwhile going back to make sure ;-)

  • MrJoop

    MrJoop

    Excellent catch. I agree with Paul and the others (Except the one about stealing it.).

  • Ranald replied

    Thank you. Andy’s comment about me pinching it is nothing to worry about. You should see the comments that fly between us. It’s just banter.

    Amazing picture, Ranald – at the right moment at the right place!

  • Ranald replied

    Aye, sure was. A few weeks before I stopped there to make sure my canoe would stay on the car and not get blown towards the ridge!

    As I said to David (below) it was nothing like that at 10.30 this morning! Couldn’t see the hill tops.

  • David McMahon

    David McMahon

    Perfect timing, Ranald.

  • Ranald replied

    Thanks David. I can assure you it was nothing like this when I went past at 10.30 this morning. 8 octars it was.

    Instant favourite, this is wonderful, great timing with the light.

  • Ranald replied

    Thanks. You’re a star. I wanted to stop and get some more shots this morning (can you believe I was only about 16km from here and never went there except on the way home?) but the weather was sooooo poor.

    Cracking capture wee brother, proves you should always always have a camera on you.

  • Ranald replied

    Ah you’re back! I think I took this one in November (seems fitting). You couldn’t see the hills yesterday. Camera goes everywhere. Lost without it.

  • Graeme Pettit Photography

    Graeme Pettit ...

    Super timing and exposure. Brilliantly taken and well spotted

  • Ranald replied

    Thanks again Graeme. The under-exposure was done on purpose.

  • Jayne Logan

    Jayne Logan

    Superb

  • Ranald replied

    Thanks Jayne (and for the favourite too).

    Stunning!

  • Ranald replied

    Thanks. It’s quite sad but a couple of RAF guys lost their lives just about 400m from here the other week. Their tornado flew into the hillside. Still, if you are going to go, there are few nicer spots.
