Other soap powders are available

If you've read the lead up to this from my previous upload then you shouldn't be surprised!
Not quite the conditions or image I had in mind but I thought I'd post it to give you all a laugh.

Mrs R stayed sensibly above the rock line!

The Viaducts, Castlefield, Manchester

I’m in a bit of a dark place at the moment and thought I’d process and upload something to reflect my mood. Normally the sliders go right for me but this time everything’s gone left just to darken the mood deliberately. The only thing is… I’ve gone and done it again and reprocessed an image I’ve already uploaded.
Thoughts on a postcard…

Isle of Skye, Scotland

The guys out on manoeuvres in Skye at the aptly named Manse.
Brad fighting against the wind, Muddy in full shooting mode and Pete probably re-balancing the fluids lost on the yomp to the location. If you look closely you might spot a SkyeWeasel.

Bamburgh Beach, Northumberland

A detour via Sycamore Gap added a couple of hours to our journey and by the time we arrived and checked in at the Lord Crewe in Bamburgh the light was fading and one hell of a storm was brewing. A quick change and drive along The Wynding to the beach car parks and this is as good as it got. Apart from us, these were the only people on the beach (there's a dog in there somewhere as well). I'm so glad we (I) stopped at Sycamore for the heavens did truly open twenty minutes later... all through the night and well beyond first light so no glorious sunrises this trip.

Sligachan, Isle of Skye

A quick grab shot while stood on the new bridge talking with Dave Evans and Mrs R. A couple of frames... and then it was gone!

I hope everyone has had a good Christmas and you all got your heart's desires. I had a great day out yesterday with some long standing friends from my Aerospace days. We all went clay pigeon shooting for the first time up at Kelbrook near Colne. Happy to say, no one got shot and I even managed to hit a barn door a couple of times.

All the best for the new year...
Here's a little tune to go with the image... bit obvious really, but I like the song as well as the video.
