A 22km walk today. We saw hares, red deer, buzzards and about a billion pheasants. Scotland in autumn is just staggeringly pretty.

The view over Marlee Loch. Autumn trees at Loch of Clunie. Highland cows in a green field. A boggy field and a gorgeous sky.

Gorgeous day walking in Scotland.

Lucy by the river. There are autumn coloured trees in the background. Reflections on the River Ericht. Rolling hills. Hay bales in a big field under a big wide sky.

I have lived in England for over a decade but have yet to visit the famous cliffs. It’s Thursday, it’s sunny, I’ve nothing to do until my new job begins next week, so I get up early and hop on a train to the south coast.

Today I saw something I’d never seen before - the contrails from a plane casting a shadow.

A blue sky over the sea with a jet contrail and a shadow extending from it towards the horizon.
