Tales of Home [9]

{{ No not this time. Just someone I know, and someone a lot braver than me with their expensive drone- if I could afford one Id be hestitant about sending it out over the River Clyde to film! Im just helping promote it- so please feel free to share with anyone you like. }}

Little boy Knocked on my door and asked if he could have his drone back. He thinks it landed in the back garden.

How times have changed. In my day it was can we have our ball back.

{{ None of ther following are taken by me, all from friends on my facebook, but they demonstrate exactly why this is my favourte time of year.

Loch Eck, the mirror loch doing its thing-





Autumn plus fog plus trees = what Hollywood spends a fortune on smoke machnes and lighting rigs to try to recreate when filming here! }}

fabulous and very evocative

I love the 2nd to last pic, with the light creeping it thru the trees. Lovely pics

This happened in my home town today

{{ Well thats not something you see every day! Did you look out your window to see one wandering down your street! }}

Are water buffalo common livestock in Britain?

Im sure one of those Buffalo is someone I don't like ? They Just havent realised the spell hasn't worn off yet
No, these are not the usual cattle we keep here Think they might have something to do with a school opposite,

{{ Another vid of my wee toon from the same person as made the last one }}.

{{ Something very weird going on with the weather round here! These were taken by various folk over last two days, always in late afternoon between 3-5pm}}









{{Its all gone very Jimmy Hendrix! }}

wow    far out man!   the sky has been on the Camberwell Carrots.

There's been reports of a weird mauve sky down here as well ???

This shook me wellies, Snowdrops already ?

Typically means scattering by very small particles: violet is the shortest wavelength; longer waves pass right through. Like the way you don't effect waves at a beach but you do affect smaller ripples.

{{Its all gone very Jimmy Hendrix!  }}

{{ So no psychdelic beyond the grave Hendrix? No magic carrots? No mystical faery Queen in a bit of a mauve mood? No foreshadowing of the arrival of the Purple People Eater?
Just small particles and wavelengths?
You know this is why people dont like science!!  


Az- snowdrops already?    Thats a sure sign the faery folk have had  a bad summer holiday in foreign worlds and cut it short to come home early in a fit of annoyance, where they have set about putting up their winter decorations   Nothing surer    

Though Halfy will probabaly come along and try to tell you its got something to do with temperture, precipitation and the length of sunbeams!   }}

Its drunken Gnomes kicking bulbs in a fit of pique I blame the Tomte's

Probably s, those purple skies.

Do they not believe in fences at this school? Using comfy bedding to try and tempt the animals into staying...!

{{ Its 3am, I'm at work in the hotel and something odd is happening! So um writing this in case I dont come back!
You see outside the hotel, especially at the rear which backs onto the hillside and cliffs there are motion sensing lights- and for the past hour or so they keep going off but so far Ive been unable to catch whatever is setting them off. Now normally I'll spot a cat or some such that's the culprit, but Ive never seen it go on this long or for me not to be able to spot what is setting them off. So Im off out, taking my camera with me to record my exploits and see if I cant track down whats switching all the external lights on at regular intervals. Hopefully I'll be reporting back, um if not then look for my camera footage to turn up on a youtube vid called somethinglike 5 top unexplained mysterious disappearances! }}}

Probably rats.

{{ Unlikely- theres rat traps everywhere, rats and hotels are not a good look so thats a problem that stamped on pretty heavy. Its usually cats, foxes or the occasional bird and once a young deer that sets them off, but buggered if I know what was going on last night, I had lights popping on while I was out there but nothing to see setting them off!

Anyhow also stumbled upon this, another drone vid of my little town. Enjoy. Then come and visit (I know a very reasonable hotel you can stay at  )}}

I think all those mud shots can be dispensed with. Unfortunately the kind of shots that would really sell the place, like swooping through the streets to a nice pub, would get the drone pilot on the wrong side of public opinion unless publicized as an event before hand. A choreographed set of activities on display would be cool, ending with people raising their mugs outside a pub.
