The River Bladnoch
I try to take my Olympus OM-D with me whenever we go out: whatever the weather, and October 4 started out fairly wet but had dried up by lunchtime.
I like these lonely and wide open spaces and on a cloudy day they can have a powerful melancholy.

Yes, there be a bit of melancholy in those skies…it’s strange how we see them like that, but we do….
Thanks, Scott……….old Victorian photographers took scenes like this……..melancholy…..and rather empty!
You’re welcome, John…and Victorian or not, sometimes it’s the melancholy that strikes us….
