It’s the Aurora Season here and last evening was no let down. Went to the village for fish n chips, it was cold and clear so the lights started to dance.

You can often tell, it’s cold and clear for a good chance, other times it kind of creeps in during the middle of the night. If it’s a really good one and I’m awake then I’ll get up and head out with the camera.
We call this the Aurora Season as this is when it dances, the over the next few months.

This photo was taken about a 10-15 minute drive from my own home in Perth. There are woods very close by that I sometimes walk Dageus in, I have passed this so many times during my life, it was my dad who told me what it was and about the Witch Burnings, dreadful times. 
There is a fenced off grave in Perthshire, Scotland that houses a mysterious monument where a woman who records say never existed was burnt alive for being a witch in 1657…That woman is Maggie Wall.
The accepted theory is that this monument stands as a testament to all the witches murdered in Scotland during the witch hunts that went on between 1500-1700.

Love Thurso Castle and it’s becoming too dangerous to do one of my favourite walks out past the base of it now. The walls are looking very fragile, heart breaking to see it becoming a pile of rubble.
It overlooks the Reef where all the Surfing Competitions are held and where I’ve circled in blue is the wall we go and sit on to watch, but that’s almost all gone now. I keep expecting the path to be closed off, as the castle has been, as it’s just too dangerous now. BUT, I did get some really good photos before they did. I’ll hunt them out.
This is all that’s left of the wall that is my surfing watch perch, and the view out of the window over the bay, towards The Old Town.
Great Pic’s Rox…I’m hopeless at taking photographs,and wouldn’t know how to post 'em on here anyway…just as well,LOL,…
