North Gaulton Castle

North Gaulton Castle is an amazing rock stack – especially from the air. It was used as a car advert in 1994:

“I knew I shouldn’t have followed the SatNav.”

Joan on Quick sallyInteresting nature news *and* a morning smile. Thank you.
David @ the HALL of EINAR on Giordano Bruno, the Librorum Prohibitorum and the Field of FlowersAccurate reading and interpretation matter, too. I say "Bruno was tried for heresy by the Roman Inquisition. He faced charges of denial of several core Catholic doctrines: eternal damnation; the Trinity; the divinity of Christ;...
B Mauriss on Giordano Bruno, the Librorum Prohibitorum and the Field of FlowersTruth matters. Historically, there’s a trail of facts regarding Giordano Bruno, whose non-Christian beliefs were rejected by Catholics, Lutherans, and Calvinists. Most importantly- Bruno’s execution had nothing to do with his understanding of astronomy. https://www.catholic.com/encyclopedia/giordano-bruno...
David @ the HALL of EINAR on The Enchanted ShirtMy pleasure. Thanks so much Joan.
David @ the HALL of EINAR on The Cheerful CinciaThat's brilliant Elizabeth. It's fascinating how people with different first languages hear the same bird sounds and capture them into something meaningful in their own culture. This song is quite lovely!

David @ the HALL of EINAR on A complete lack of distinguishing featuresThanks so much Nigel. I have no short-term memory, so identification is always a significant struggle for me - especially if everything is small and brown!. I hope the sun shines on you wherever you...
Nigel on A complete lack of distinguishing featuresThe epitome of the piccolo lavoro marrone, or as one might say at an RSPB meeting, “LBJ”. Enjoy the sun - thin on the ground in Orkney lately but scorching in the Highlands.
Pat on There’s a beetle-shaped hole in our livesReminds me of the also red & black Large Milkweed Bug that we have here. And you can't miss the all red Milkweed Beetle. I used to see both when I had a field full...
