And we thought it was spring a few weeks back! Sadly the weather has taken a bit of a turn for the worse over the last week or so, with dramatic winds and frequent rain. However, these conditions do sometimes offer up exciting and awe-inspiring light, ideal for landscape photography. Yesterday afternoon provided just such a chance for me, with the two images below taken from our garden, overlooking Loch Alsh. While the rainbow did not last long, at least not as bright as this, it was truly impressive for its short duration. I am not sure I would have wanted to be at sea on a day like this though.

The following shots are of a couple of amazing iconic buildings from the Scottish Borders, namely the Hermitage in Liddesdale - a fine and imposing old building from Reiver days; and the Leaderfoot Viaduct which is a much more recent structure built for the railway to cross the River Tweed, near Melrose.
