Temple of Sheepby ~paddimir

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Landscapes

between Howwood and Lochwinnoch, this was probably a masonic temple of some sort, from the 18th century. Now home to some sheep which disconcerted me in the dead of night.

while i was waiting, i was messing about with my second camera, and leaning on the window sill of the tower to take a photo in the other direction. The wall of the tower started ... flickering. Knowing there was no-one nearby I was confused. I looked up and between me and the moon was a large white bird, silently hovering over me. It was so dark I couldn't make it out clearly, but i think it was an owl. Either that or the archangel Gabriel, but probably a bird. It hovered a bit closer (a few feet) and I thought i would get a closer look and then realised it was probably coming to peck out my beautiful eyes to protect its young. So i made an agressive stance and it flew away. Carried away by a moonlight shadow.

made from 126 x 30 second exposures, using startrails.exe which you can google (it's free and pretty good)
