When Francis and Frank had left back to the lodge, Bruno and i took some pleasure in photographing the inside and surroundings of said shelter.

After that, Bruno and i continued on our quest to see more of the sheep on the hill above the shed. Some steep meters later, we found ourselves in some harsh wind and the occasional rain shower. But also surrounded by beautiful views, interesting details and guardian sheep  ;D

You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

The Bat Experiment: I noticed yesterday the emergence of a bat colony out of the roof of the house: over 50 bats went out in fast succession over a few minutes. Having miserably failed to capture it, I did another try this evening with a different set up.

It went better.

Hopefully, Birna gracefully proposed to edit the pictures. The result is eminently more shareable.

Then, in the afternoon, Bruno and i took a walk to discover the broader surroundings. In a nearby shed we sheltered from the rain and found Francis and Frank pass by as well. Frank was of the opinion that i was the junior of the men in the group. So, here are the seniors  ;D ;D ;D

Very nice, Thank you!

We live 100 years or so. Sometimes we do suffer. Sometimes we wish we would last forever. Best idea? Take responsiblity and survive this moment.
Nice to see you Dave! And brilliant capture!

All the energy in the world does not make us rule either. We are still searching, exploring, finding, developing. And our destination is not always seen clearly. Sometimes it is just magical. All that we have is this moment.
Many many greetings! Wonderfull

I wish you all a great time, many laughter, and a pinch of malt whisky! Looking forward to more images from this NG get-together.
Love and hugs, Jakov
Ditto!

rosko against the wind

  Lovely action shot.

After that, Bruno and i continued on our quest to see more of the sheep on the hill above the shed. Some steep meters later, we found ourselves in some harsh wind and the occasional rain shower. But also surrounded by beautiful views, interesting details and guardian sheep  ;D

  Thank for sharing the views! Those sheep looks suspiciously like the ones in post #142  ;D

The Bat Experiment: I noticed yesterday the emergence of a bat colony out of the roof of the house: over 50 bats went out in fast succession over a few minutes. Having miserably failed to capture it, I did another try this evening with a different set up.

It went better.

Hopefully, Birna gracefully proposed to edit the pictures. The result is eminently more shareable.

  Love this action with context.

Thank you for sharing this adventure with us!

Are we going to see any of you guys ('ngals) in Killin tomorrow, as you head south to your choice of airport?
My son and my two grandsons will be here around lunchtime, but don't let that stop you. In fact the two little boys
make great subjects!

I thoroughly enjoyed going through the entire thread again!
Some majestic images from all of you!

For those who couldn’t make it, our lodge and its surroundings, the postcard.

Frank and I will be there. In fact, we have booked into the Killin Hotel for the night. Thus, count on us.
