Dawn and sunrise over low tide at Balcary Bay on the Solway Firth in Dumfries and Galloway.
“Red sky in the morning: shepherds’ warning”. And so it turned out this time: less than three hours later the mountain was swathed in Cumbrian Mist and the rain gauge had begun to count the raindrops, which developed to drenching rain by the afternoon.

Walking up to and around the Centro Storico (the old town) of Saluzzo in Piemonte, the colour is overwhelmingly red terracotta, both the bricks and the tiles of the buildings. The patterns and the consistency but variations of the hand-made items excite the eye. The interiors of the churches are magnificent though the interiors of most of the other buildings have been revaged over the ages and through the wars. Noticeable that the eagle and white cross on a red shield of the Kingdom of Savoy / Savoie is still visible in several public places.
