Salt Pans and windmill, St Monans.

Salt Pans and windmill, St Monans.
It's been a lovely sunny day and a bit warmer too. My order of half coconuts arrived so the birds were happy and my mini window box house number came too. It looks good so all I have to do now is buy a small bit of 4x4 and give Andy a phone call.
Decided to go off somewhere different to photograph but first of all I cut down shrubs at the front. That's another car load for the recycling. It was after three before I left having settled on the salt pans at St Monans. It's a long time since I've been and I can just about cover the distance from the little car park to the windmill. There were very few people around so I got peace to put up my tripod and try all sorts of angles. The windmill is lovely but it's the hills and hollows of the salt pans that I like best. As the sun got lower in the sky the light got better and better so I really enjoyed myself.
Coming back I met a woman and her dog and got into a long conversation. Well she did most of the talking but it was enjoyable and pay back time as I used to do most of the talking in the past and still do sometimes. As a result I drove back mostly in the dark and arrived home starving. But a good day and no housework

This is such an interesting area with lots of history, Jean. We passed by, and stopped there, on our walk along the Fife coastal path

It sounds like you had a really enjoyable day Jean. The sun and shade show the salt pans really well. I have never seen a windmill in Scotland before, so I looked this place up. It very interesting and was very important to the Scottish economy.....as I'm sure you know :-)

Gorgeous diffused light coming through those clouds and bringing out the shapes and textures in the foreground very nicely. I love the position of the old mill on the horizon. The colours are gorgeous.

A beautiful day and a beautiful image Jean!
