Balblair on the Black Isle, about to be engulfed by a very heavy shower. There were sparks too. As viewed from the from the ferry, returning to Cromarty from Nigg, and before the rain came our way.

My first time using the ferry. We'd a quiet snooze and book read on the beach in the sunshine at Nigg. A wee nosey about too, along with Finn seeking some playtime... as ever. Made it back just as the first big rain drops reached us.

That's a Herring Gull with its head underwater in Cromarty harbour in the second extra, lest there be doubt or queries (and to remind me in the future).
