Seems a good a time as any to show this. in 2014, I was asked to provide an Aerial shot of Fullers to front its virtual Tour. Not sure which image was used, but here's the Tour entry:

Click on 'Where am I' at the bottom.


and here's one of the shots I took.

I drive past it most weeks. Impressive sight and smells.

I enjoy your photos - OH is from Elgin. I trust you tried the Copper Dog at Craigellachie.

[ pedant ] It is Macallan [ /pedant ]

And I reckon it is a buzzard.

The McAllan. Hmmm.

....and I reckon your right with buzzard.

Apart from the bar , they do a blended malt that they also call Copper Dog - it is that I was thinking of, it is pretty good. I obviously don't get the joke about McAllan / Macallan.

Splendid photos.I like the look of that bar...

It certainly looks like a buzzard. We get a lot in these parts. It is rare that a day goes by that I don't see a couple over our garden.

It's red kites round these parts (West Berks) Just looked out of the window and there was a solitary one circling above.
Plenty of buzzards back home (Shropshire)

Please Snorvey - next time an advanced govt health warning - my gouty foot tingling just with a glance.

Is that brighter yellow towards your end of the country a reflection of Jock diets, or your national export?

That'll be the Irn Bru.

Just rain here last night , with a brief bit of wet snow

I had about half an inch of snow on the car last night, when I got back from London. It stopped snowing soon afterwards and froze nicely. Our lane is like a skating rink.

We don't mind these fishermen poaching on our loch - we would rather they take our fish than the small ducklings, to which they are partial!

The above image is a composite of 5 hand-held photos, taken very roughly with an idea that I might be able to stitch something together at some point.

Anyhow, after downloading the free Microsoft 'Image Composite Editor' (ICE) from the link below, I was very quickly able to produce a panoramic image that I'm really pleased with.

Tumpak Sewu waterfalls -

Tumpak Sewu, also known as Coban Sewu, is a tiered waterfall that is located between the Pronojiwo District, Lumajang Regency, and the Ampelgading District, Malang Regency, in East Java, Indonesia. The waterfall is overshadowed by Semeru, an active volcano and the highest mountain in Java. The Glidik River is a meltwater source fed from the mountain, which is the primary flow for the waterfall. Tumpak Sewu is loosely translated to mean "a thousand waterfalls" in the Javanese language. The name likely originated due to its appearance of many different waterfalls in one single, semi-circular area.
