Re: The View from Up Here.
This morning's view with the sun picking out anything white in Barlick.
This gang of "resting" tups arrived in our field yesterday. Nothing to do now but eat and enjoy a rest till autumn!

What are "resting " tups? (yes I can see they're sheep), and what happens in Autumn? Dinner plate or babies?Wendyf wrote:

These are the rams Liz. All they have to do now is sit around eating and getting fat ready for their next moments of glory.

Liz may not know what a ram is? You may need to be more explicit, Wendy...

Re: The View from Up Here.
The use of 'tup' as a heavy piece of metal slung from a crane and used as to give a heavy blow to something derives from the fact that when tups fight (a common occurrence) they charge and butt their heads together.

Re: The View from Up Here.
My view of Barlick & beyond this morning
Looking the other way...the gnomes are soaking up the morning sun.
A closer look at the masts. Ninevah in the foreground and Proctor Heights below the masts.

Re: The View from Up Here.
Did you come down the field to get the picture of Barlick?
I can just about make out our house near the centre of the photo.

Re: The View from Up Here.
I just managed to catch a very dramatic sunset this evening. Shame about the electricity pole!
Not quite sure what the buildings are in this view, is that the canal?

Learn to cheat a bit!
I did it quickly with i-Photo and I've reduced the resolution, that is why it does not look nearly as a sharp as your pic. Actually, the telegraph pole makes your picture look much more dramatic.

Re: The View from Up Here.
Wendy, You've reminded me of a farm I went to near Troon where the kitchen window over the sink had a panoramic view of the Firth of Clyde. While they were away the electric board had put a pole directly outside the window only a couple of yards away. They were fighting to get it moved.....

Its difficult to get a better view looking down on Glen mills without going up the church tower.

Re: The View from Up Here.
I can still remember reading a book by a bloke called Henderson who was a farmer in Warwickshire and wrote a book on his life and the founding of the firm that made agricultural ironwork including the running gear for sliding doors. He said that in his youth the old folk called those rays striking down through the clouds 'The Eyes of God'.
Nice pic Wendy...
