Crackin' sunrise ....

 

2nd September 2020 (Wednesday)     08.00 .... Sunrise time on the beach


was awesome;  it was like being swallowed up in a dream.   Mind you it doesn’t take much to set me dreaming;  but it was extraordinarily gorgeous this morrrrrning.    Of course “red sky in the morning etc” is not a good omen and rain is mentioned in the weather forecast for later today.... but it is a nice morning,  with  only a light breeze and it isn’t cold.    I have yet to go for the paper but I’ll leave that until later in the morning.



18.30     I went along to the ‘Braes’ at Pittenweem (in the car) with a view to taking a few photographs from that viewpoint then walking down the coastal path to West Shore.      Spots of rain began to hit the car windscreen just as I arrived at the ‘Braes’.   I took a few photos and abandoned the West Shore part of ‘plan’;   the spots of rain were bigger and much closer together by this time.

Elie Bay this afternoon.

There was a man cleaning the Toilet at the ‘Braes’ in readiness for re-opening on Monday;  along with most of the Council operated Toilets.  

I came home via the Colinsburgh Strait and Kinneuchar, to give the car a run, then settled down to watch (intermittently) the ‘Tour’ and ‘play’ with today’s photographs.    Stage 5 of the Tour was about as exciting as watching paint dry;  it was mostly downhill and the peloton stayed together from start to finish.

21.00    The rain relented for a short time, late in the afternoon, so I took time out from watching the Tour(nothing was happening - apart from the peloton bumbling along at 42kph) to go to the beach.   There was light rain blowing through but I was able to shelter behind a beach hut, and take a few photos of a catamaran (Dart 18?) scuttling over the bay.

The sky was beginning to break up by sunset, and the forecast is good for tomorrow, so I

West Shore - Pittenweem.

plan to get up early to go for the paper.    Stage 6 of ‘The Tour’  will be more exciting.... it’s hilly.....  setting off from Le Teil at a height of 132 metres above sea level and finishing 191 kilometres later at a height of 1560 metres, with the serious climbing over the last 40 kilometres.   I’m tired just thinking about it.
