Flight Behaviour

Following the heavy rain of the past few days  hours every hollow has a temporary lochan and already there are dire predictions for next year's harvest of autumn sown grains. 

The spire of Fraserburgh South Church and the tower of the Dalrymple  Hall rise out of the haze over the sea.

Not as dramatic as the scenes at the shore a week ago, but there  was again a huge swell, huge piles of seaweed and other debris on the sand and swollen Kessock Burn gushes onto the sand.

Grey Granite is currently reading Barbara Kingsolver's excellent and thought provoking novel, Flight Behaviour. Against the background  of this disturbing novel of climate change the extreme weather patterns of the year  take on a more sinister aspect than just a run of seasonal storms.
