Evenings in Kirkcudbright tended to be the best time of the day. Even on cloudy or drizzly days the sun broke out by mid-afternoon and because the sun didn’t set until late (after 10 pm) we had the most lovely evenings. Decided to return to the cottage via Carrick Bay after a visit to The Gatehouse of Fleet and got there just before 7 pm to see a lone windsurfer out on the bay. Lisa of the blog NorthWest Frame of Mind has decided to run a different project over the next 24 weeks. To try to show what is happening in different parts of the world (if you all join in) at a particular time of day. If you would like to participate you have until next Saturday midnight to post a photo or write about what is happening in your part of the world between 18:00 – 19:00 this week. I hope you’ll join in! See links for more details.

You weren’t doing cocktail hour at 6? 🙂
Now why didn’t I think of that?
I love stones and rocks like these, so many colours and striations 🙂
I spent as much time looking at the rocks and pebbles as I did the views!
I’m just the same Jude! Life is ever so distracting isn’t it? 😉
Sounds interesting!
It’s an interesting area Aletta. First visit for me and I LOVED it 🙂
A nice end to the trip Jude, and I got the determination and solitude of that wind-surfer!
Regards as always, Pete. x
Lovely light up there Pete. 🙂
The glimpse of yellow on the sail really sets this off. Another beautiful photo Jude.
Ah, thanks Sue. It was the yellow that caught my eye too as I was photographing into the sun and not getting any good shots.
What a capture, Jude! I’m thinking that windsurfer must have been a little chilly but having the water to themselves sounds like an incredible way to spend the evening. Thanks for sharing your view with us. 🙂
It was actually quite a warm evening, but I am sure the water was pretty cold.
Terrific shot, Jude ! – makes me long already for summer again !!!
At least you get a summer! Although saying that it is rather nice here at the moment 🙂
But aren’t you in a semi-permanent state of peregrination ? – I wonder how you know where you are, sometimes …
What a great word 😉 I had to look that one up!
I wish I was M-R, but a lot of my writing is about trips from the past, although we do keep popping off somewhere in the UK for short breaks! Home now though for 3 weeks before the next trip.
To where this time ?
South this time. Canterbury and then the Kent countryside. Another long drive though …sigh!
Is that a happy or an unhappy sigh ?
Unhappy – it means driving around London and that’s no pleasure! Have a good day, it’s time for bed for me now 🙂
Sleep well, Jude …
I miss those long summer nights. Lovely photos.
Thank you 🙂
I like this shot, Jude! Mine is coming soon 🙂
Happy summer!
Thanks Amy 🙂
That windsurfer shot is magnificent – that yellow line and the translucence.
We were both asleep by 18.00 last night (husband arrived on Monday), but it would be ridiculous for this to become a habit, so I’ll see what Warsaw 18.00 to 19.00 offers before the deadline.
He definitely caught my eye. I was very pleased when he sailed around the headland and I could get a shot of him. I’m not surprised you are exhausted! You did a lot of travelling leading up to Warsaw. Enjoy your time with the family 🙂
