Amelia's photos

The Sunday Challenge: Have a celebration of sorts. Anything at all you want to celebrate. Not an easy challenge in fact, but at least I can celebrate that I haven't lost my bottle. :-))) The original photo (see PiP) was bland to the point of being absolutely boring. I did a touch up with Pic Monkey, and it could be that everything is now sinking underwater these days.

The kirk at A'Chlèit was completed in 1790 and is the parish kirk of Killean, and was built 1787-91 by local builder Thomas Cairns. Many folks drive past this turn-off and miss this little church right on the shoreline. I wish I had checked to see if the door was unlocked.

These steps lead down from a little church onto A’chleit Beach with wonderful views of the Isle of Gigha and the Paps of Jura,

The Severn class lifeboat is the largest lifeboat in the RNLI fleet. She was developed in the early 1990s and introduced into the fleet in 1995. As an all-weather lifeboat, the Severn can take on the worst sea conditions and comes into her own on long offshore searches and rescues. NAMING CEREMONY & DEDICATION of the Severn Class Lifeboat, 'ERNEST AND MARY SHAW' at OLD QUAY, CAMPBELTOWN (by kind permission of Argyil and Bute Council) on Saturday 28th August 1999 at 230pm. The Lifeboat will be named by.Mrs Mary Shaw. This lifeboat was funded by a generous gift from the estate of the late Ernest Shaw and his widow Mary Shaw

"Will you walk into my parlour?" said the Spider to the Fly, "'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy; The way into my parlour is up a winding stair, And I've a many curious things to shew when you are there."

Macro Monday: Show small things or animals (insects) in motion. This was quite a hard challenge. There are very few insects around now, but spiders aplenty. I was watching this garden spider repairing a web when a sudden gust of wind caused the spider to vibrate very quickly, but left most of the web relatively still as you can see. The PiP shows the same spider at rest. Many many rejected trials. :-)

This week's Sunday Challenge: Spring(s) NOT the season but the item.. I didn't realise just how many springs there were around our home. I love all the Sunday challenges.

Here is some suitable musical accompaniment. ;-) Queen - I Want To Break Free . Enjoy your weekend.

Tarbert Castle is located on the southern shore of East Loch Tarbert, at Tarbert, Argyll, Scotland, at the north end of Kintyre. Tarbert Castle was a strategic royal stronghold during the Middle Ages and one of three castles at Tarbert. The castle overlooks the harbour and although pre 14th century in construction, the tower dates back to 1494. A towerhouse was added in the 16th century, which is the most noticeable part of the remains. The castle occupies high land above the village, providing views up Loch Fyne and beyond to the Firth of Clyde.
