Where angels fear to tread


While flying up to Scotland last week I managed to snap this picture from the aircraft window (above), the effect is called a "Glory" and is an optical phenomenon caused by sunlight interacting with tiny water droplets in mist or cloud resembling a saint's halo around the shadow of a shape. In this case the shadow is that of the plane we're flying in, either that or clearly I must be blessed in some way :) 


I also managed to get a decent shot of all three bridges over the Firth of Forth (above) with a nice backdrop of the hills and the sun shining in between the clouds, Scotland is really quite picturesque!
