Musing over rooms with a view....

Up from the deep, 20 stories high, Godzilla, Godzilla, that is what I was thinking as I took these shots (wonder what on earth that says about me?).  
Forth Rail Bridge

Maybe that is my different view of the famous Forth Rail Bridge which is quite a magnificent piece of engineering.  Wonder if it was inspired by another famous Scot - Nessie?










Inspired by Loch Ness!
!
Age of fishing, age of industry
I'm the king of the castle!
It is just such an amazing site (and sight), and the above two images also remind me of a bit of Marnie (the Hitchcock film) the street in which she grew up.  I know it is different, but it does make me think of it, the old fishing houses with the huge piece of industrial engineering right on its doorstep.

Half a train
Of course interesting views can be starkly different, and the next photographs I took are a very short drive from the above ones.   The next pictures are taken of static homes which look over King Kong beach, well we call it King Kong beach because that is what Dexter called it we think it sounds much cooler!
Somewhere between the sky and the beach, above the long grass
Rooms with a view


The sandy beaches, and the long flowing grass under a perfect blue sky in January and then in the evening a light breeze through your hair from another beach but this time in Edinburgh where you can see the lights of King Kong beach across the water from.

Long, golden, flowing hairs of grass
 My old man and the sea

What's over there
Half way between the sky and the sea, the sun begins to melt
So the sun set on King Kong beach, and night fell in Edinburgh too.  Half these images were taken last week and half these images were taken on Saturday of this week but both days were perfect as they were spent with my family.......
Spread the love
Spots of light
