FALLS OF DOCHART

falls of dochart. killin. scotland

...

pamietam to popoludnie, choc minelo juz sporo lat. wybralam sie na calton hill by porobic zdjecia o zachodzie slonca. mialam nadzieje ze rozowy zachod nad zamkiem... a wyszedl kisielkowo-rozowy zachod nad stockbridge.. wszystko dzieki mgle spowijajacej stare miasto..

.

i actually do remember that afternoon thou it was good few years ago. i went to calton hill in edinburgh, hoped to catch pink sunset somewhere over the castle. instead i photographed stockbridge sinking under pink mist..

DARN, NO LOBSTERS !

niesamowite! zaswiecilo slonce! 

co wiecej, nawet poczulysmy sie wiosenie! w koncu!

krotka wycieczka do niedalekiego north berwick -pechowa - mialysmy wielka ochote na miejscowego homara i co? gdzie bysmy nie poszly to wlasnie chwilke wczesniej sie skonczyly!

brrrr!!!!

.

.

amazing! sunshine!

what is more - we actually felt like the spring is finally approaching, it was a looong wait!

anyway, to make the most of this lovely day we drove to north berwick to have a stroll along the beach and a little bit further :)

unluckily, wherever we went to try grilled local lobster, they were just gone!

grrrr!

widoki z parkingu  /  view from the car park to      beinn ghlas

uwaga -w tej okolicy byly 2 parkingi -jeden dedykowany dla ben lawers i nieco dalej dla tarmachan'a. teraz jest jeden, dosc duzy parking. zaraz za zjazdem do niego 'glowna droga' prowadzaca w strone glen lyon jest zamknieta na czas zimy

please note - there used to be 2 car parks in the area, one dedicated for ben lawers and 200yr further one for meall nan tarmachan. nowadays there is only one, good sized car park. the road going to glen lyon is closed just at the gate to the car park. the road is closed for winter.
