I have no idea what this is, why it`s there, if it`s symbolic, or just fun.  but I love it.
I have just had the best day.  
It started off slowly with breakfast in bed, then we set off for Lower Largo, twenty minutes drive further along the coast.
The weather was dry, sunny and warm, with no wind.  A spring day.
I planned to walk the coastal path back in the direction of Elie, but first we needed to get through a "Kissing Gate".  Geordie is not a fan, especially if there is not a lot of space, and this one was tiny.  I tried everything I could think of but he was not going through the gate.  So we turned in the opposite direction and followed the coastal path through the village and along past Lundin Links.  I did a bit of beachcombing, finding a few nice shells, but no sea glass.  Geordie ran around with a stick he had found, dropping it expectantly at the feet of walkers.  Some of whom obliged him and then regretted it when they realised one throw was not enough.  That was just the start.
When we could see that the beach ahead of us towards Leven was quite busy we turned around and headed back to Lower Largo.
On our way back we saw this amazing sculpture, totem, or whatever it is, in a garden opposite a cottage.  The cottage also had two really fascinating, colourful gates. (Extras).  Some very clever person has created unique pieces.  They are extraordinary.

We walked on a bit in the direction of the carpark, watching the sea in the hope of seeing dolphins.  But, better than that - we say a Humpback Whale!  In the Firth of Forth!  What a treat.  It was just making it`s way from west to east, appearing out of the water, blowing water out of it`s blowhole, then going down to appear again a few minutes later.  This went on for about twenty minutes until it was too far past to see.
What a treat.  I almost couldn`t believe my eyes.

We drove back to Pittenweem with the hope of maybe seeing it again there, but no luck.  Several people were watching for it here because someone had posted on FaceBook that it was coming this way.

Humpback Whales are enormous, about the size of a bus.  They can grow up to 18 metres long, and weigh a whopping 40 tons.  They migrate farther than any other mammal on Earth, and can travel 3,000 miles between their breeding and feeding grounds on a regular basis. (Livescience.com)
In the winter they swim to the warm waters close to the Equator.  There is nothing vaguely warm about the water here.
This particular one has been spotted several times in the Firth of Forth, and has been named Barney due to the barnacles on its dorsal fin.

I`m not used to such excitement.  What a terrific day.
