Description

Pretty scene, tranquill setting, lovely weather, blood sucking clegs! Boy was I tasty today. Not a drop of wind to keep the dreaded "Midgies" down, I seemed to have my own personal swarm in a big sphere round my head for most of the walk today. Its OK until you stop walking (to take a photo for example) and then they decend on you for a feast. Worse than the midgies were the big Cleg thingys with their big slobbery teeth to chew you up. Thse guys really meant business and were biting me till I bled....yuk... never mind, I got some nice pictures!

I remember midges well, particularly a fortnight's holiday in mid-'95 when we were in a caravan at Resipole on the shore of Loch Sunart... being plagued with 'em when you're INSIDE is no joke either and despite plugging up all the air vents with wet tissues they STILL found their way in! Anyway... this is one of those classic shots that infuses a sense of tranquillity into a room when it's hanging on a wall... love that blue sky, you can tell this shot HAD to have been taken between May and July, any other month and everything's under cloud lol. Thanks for sharing again :-)

Great contrasts of colours and a beautiful scene but your description makes my skin crawl at the memories of those flesh-hunk-eating clegs! And breathing in midges inside tents and waking up with a face like sandpaper with so many bites. Arrgh!
