I'm not sure if we're witnessing a dastardly act or an unfortunate "just step back a bit" photo moment here.

Possibly just me metaphorically pushing the Monday workday over the 5pm line.

I can tell you that the actual drop was vertical; significantly more extreme than the slope shown on the sign.

Photo taken in Fort George, near Inverness.

Some great talks today at the Environmental Rights Summit, put on by the Environmental Rights Center for Scotland.

A big focus on The Right to a Healthy Environment, and enshrining this into law with Scots law.

More information on what the ERCS is about, and to find ways to support (including signing your support towards Environmental Rights within Scotland) can be found here: https://www.ercs.scot

We went for a morning walk down to the harbour in our village and it's already 25°c here. I soon cooled us down down by slipping into the village shop for a couple of ice lollies for the walk back home. 🌞 #Scotland #CrudenBay

New at my Patreon... I haven't visited many battlefields, but I found Culloden fascinating for its place in Scottish history, and in a certain British TV show:

The mystical creatures of the river guide the water through the rocks.

Again.

A video loop of a waterfall. The waters flow rapidly over a small layer of rock, before a larger drop across the width of the falls. The falls are lined with large flat puddingstone rocks, covered in moss. Three animated dancers stand on rocks followed by traces of themselves, limbs swaying, coaxing the waters down.
