A week of high pressure clear coastal weather...


Been high pressure weather giving clears skies here on the East Lothian coast this week...

We have had amazing sunrises through early morning mist,
Been cold and frosty but dry under foot,
Stunning blue skies during the day and with little wind often a flat calm sea with some amazing reflective sunsets,
Full moon risings too over the Lammermuir Hills!,
A few pics while out and about...

 So it is typical that the day i plan a ride straight from work on my Surly Pugsley to the coast on my local patch at Tyninghame was the only evening in a week and a half it would cloud over!,
Still never mind, i planned to do some film of the late evening light and sunset but that was not going to happen so instead i did some film through `Links Wood` to `Mosspoin`t and then around the shoreline of `Fir Links Wood`,  then along some of the `Secret Trail`  and also below it along the 4pm high line rocks to Peffersands.

Tyninghame Links Car Park...


These woods were once walked by the famous naturalist John Muir as a boy before his family moved to America.
Many of the ancient Oak and Beech standing today would have been here in Muir`s time...

Tyninghame`s  Deciduous woods are devoid of leaves at this time of year, with spring on the way the woods will soon be under a canopy of leaves.

How many trees leaves do you know?

This old Beech has called it a day, would make brilliant fire wood!...



High tide and the water in the Tyne Estuary was flat..



The flat light played havoc with the camera that could not tell the change from sea to cloud and refused to focus often.
Then the cloud cleared a bit over head as i reached Ravensheugh and the light took on that magical shine on the water and wet sand, so i swapped to the compact camera, hence why you start to hear decent sound and the waves breaking on the shoreline...
