Mary – great photos! When my mom would look at Chris’s pictures she used to say “What a wonderful camera you have.” But in your case I know it’s your eye. Well done. 😉
Thanks, John. No, not a mirage. The windmills are in the water. It’s called the Robin Rigg Wind Farm and was the first offshore wind farm in Scotland. The turbines are in the Solway Firth on a sandbank between Galloway in Scotland and Cumbria in England. You can see the Cumbrian coast in the photo. It was hugely controversial with lots of protests about how they would spoil the views and ruin tourism. I’ve always rather liked them.
Thanks, Cynthia. This is in Dumfries and Galloway, southwest Scotland. The photos of the wind turbines and countryside are taken from the viewpoint in a woodland walk about five miles from where I live. If you have to be in lockdown, this is as good a place as any 🙂
I wouldn’t dream of even comparing my photos to yours, Derek. I know my limitations as a photographer but I think they maybe do show that this isn’t a bad place to be during lockdown with some great walks and countryside. Kept me sane for the duration!
Mary Smith's Place 
Are they recent photos, Mary? If so,I am glad to see you got some sunshine up there.
I like your woodland monster!
Best wishes, Pete.

They were last month, Pete. We had a couple of days of really lovely sunny weather before it went back to typical summer!

And here. Thick grey clouds but not actually raining. It’s St Swithin’s Day so if it rains it rains for 40 days.

I think every day in Beetley is St Swithin’s Day, Mary! 😦

I’m lucky to live only a few minutes from lovely countryside. I thought the monster was pretty cool 🙂

Lovely photos, Mary. I have never seen windmills out in the water or is that a mirage?

I guess all that dreary prognostication never came to fruition. They don’t look bad in the photo either. Thanks for the information, Mary.
