It was a lovely morning this morning. I managed to get some nice shots of the local wildfowl too!

Madonna of the Red Sky


If you liked the previous post, you might like this.

I've merged the sky from outside my window with the head of a famous monument in Quito, Equador (my original image on left)(http://www.alovelyworld.com/webequa/htmgb/equa50.htm)

I think it has a nice Christmas look to it.
Let me know what YOU think!

Outside my window


ONLY IN SCOTLAND!

I took this 5 minutes ago outside my window. I left the pylon just to show it is a real photo.

The Original Pittsburgh Steeler

Carnegie Hall - UK
You don't need to be American to have heard of the Pittsburgh Steelers

Personally I think Superbowl 13 was their finest game

However, you have to be a Scotsman it seems to know about the original Pittsburgh 'steeler'

But I bet most Americans have heard of Carnegie Hall! Did you know there is one in Scotland?

Guess where

John Knox's House
























This is John Knox's house in Edinburgh. It looks exactly as it did in painting hundreds of years ago!!!
I always take friends or family from abroad to see it (and the castle of course;-))
