Blow Your Own Chimney!
Chimney Tops, Pittenweem, Scotland
Albeit a bit of a global warming horror show, I was delighted at this rooftops vista in Fife.
Rows and rows of chimney pots like soldiers on parade. Dozens of the buggers! And hundreds more throughout the village…
It wasn’t cold enough in mid-autumn for smoke to have been puffing from the chimneys.
Had it been, the ghost of my coal mining grandfather would surely have smiled…
Safe Harbour By Failing Light
I took a photo at dusk from the harbour wall at Pittenweem on my recent visit to the Scottish village.

But looking back to the town, things appeared calmer.
The saying “safe harbour” sprang to mind.
I could see the light of the place we were staying (at centre top) and headed back to its comfort.
(In the failing light the photo was a technical failure so I salvaged it (like a sunken ship!) and made this abstract picture, that captures for me the moment).

People’s homes – and the locals I met in my short time there were as sweet as their abodes.
I felt very much at home in the small town, and even though I have returned to my antipodean home, I think I left I piece of my heart there…
