Although I'm not big on farm machinery, this abandoned farm equipment looks to be a muck spreader and could well be a 1950s model, any way I thought it anchored the shot nicely, The wall and fence indicate the footpath down to Farr beach at Bettyhill where the waves of Farr Bay lap gently onto the pale sand. This is a link to a Wurzels song, The Champion Dung Spreader, although they are a long serving Somerset band the guy on the Accordion Tommy Banner is the world's only Scottish Wurzel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SH281p2u18 It may look better on black,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Wish you all a HFF and a lovely weekend

The harvest is in but the festival will have to be elsewhere, this is Buittle Parish church lit by late evening sun. The long history of this ‘Church in the Fields’, going back via the adjacent ruined building to the royal chapel of C13th King John Balliol, lends atmosphere to this lovely rural church. Which was originally Roman Catholic and later became Church of Scotland. The church closed in 2010 and is now up for sale, (Pip) The roofless shell of the most intact medieval parish church in the region I prefer the image large.

Large View Please,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, This young chick looks very alone in its position near the top of the 64 m sea cliffs at Duncansby Head which is the far North east corner of the British mainland, as it patiently waits for parents to return with food although not sure of the species, a herring gull is the most likely I would guess but any help would be more than welcome

This is the Northeastern Corner of the British Isles at Duncansby Head, and this is Geo of Sclaites, a vast crevice in the cliffs which are around 64 meters high and provide nest sites for many birds, Including, Puffins, Guillemots, Razorbills, kittiwakes, Fulmars and many Gulls. The water is the Pentland Firth. A large view may be beneficial The folk on the cliff top are possibly a little careless, so another tenuous link from Man Overboard, www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6GIKA3hYlo HFF and a good weekend.

The small but historic former fishing harbour at Staxigoe, which means "the inlet of the stack" in Norse. This is the former county of Caithness and is just 2 miles north of Wick., It is a natural haven with a gently sloping shingle beach, protected by long reefs. Large view may be good.

Large Please. Bridgwater Bay and the fertile coastal plain around the mouth of the River Parrett with the Mendip Hills as a backdrop, taken from Walford's Gibbet on Somerset's Quantock Hills.

Not the best way to the sea, but one used mainly by boarders gaining access to Dunnet Beach, Caithness, A sweeping arc of white sandy beach backed by rolling sand dunes. Stretching for over 2 miles, the bay is fairly sheltered from the elements, it is a surfer's haven and offers some quite dramatic surf when the winds are high. A Cool Cool Water Link www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch7XgS4xFs8 Hopefully, getting broadband sorted on Friday, so I may not be able to comment, but I will catch up soon as we are back online. A large view recommended, and I wish you all HFF and a great weekend.

Burrow Mump is a hill and historic site overlooking Southlake Moor in the village of Burrowbridge within the English county of Somerset. It is a scheduled monument, with a never completed church on top of the hill, a Grade II listed building. (Wikipedia) It is only 24 m (79ft) high but stands out on the very low-lying and flat Somerset Levels and just like Glastonbury was an Island with Roman remains from the 12th century found here.

Lybster Harbour on Scotland's North Sea Coast and a bench to rest and enjoy the harbours activities, Large for details. HBM and a good week to all.
