White swans
Posted on January 16, 2022
This week, I present a rare example of me multi-tasking. The image of these swans was captured by the lake next to Linlithgow Palace and it fulfils the criteria not only for Cee’s Midweek Challenge, where the prompt was ‘white’, but also her Black & White Challenge, for which the theme was ‘birds’.

Cee’s Black & White Challenge this week is animals, either wild or farmed. We are encouraged to be creative, however, so here is an image of an elaborate wall hanging that’s on display in the Japanese galleries of the Victoria & Albert Museum (the V&A) in London.

I would strongly advise against trying to negotiate your way across these rocks on the shore at Pittenweem. There are surely easier ways to break an ankle.

Approaching Menace

There is something faintly threatening in this silhouette of a French military helicopter against a backdrop of looming clouds. Not to worry though, it was only at a nearby air display a few years ago.
Sunset Over St. Monan’s

Looking from one Scottish fishing to another – Pittenweem towards St. Monan’s – the setting sun highlights the top of a fence, which really makes the shot.
Crossing The Bridge

You could, of course, drive any of the vehicles in this image, but there is no doubt that the real star is the already iconic Forth Crossing that links Edinburgh with the Kingdom of Fife.
