Carluke

For those of you who haven't found it yet the new Carluke Community website is at http://www.carlukecommunity.org
There's also the article about Carluke in wikipedia.
Neither, however, is quite as entertaining as the Carluke Guide that appeared on the Net a couple of years back and talked about Carluke's financial district and international airport etc. not to mention the fact that it is a likely resting place for the Holy Grail!! This new site, however, is considerably more accurate than that spoof website, which now ( sadly) seems to have disappeared. All that remains of the Carluke Guide is the home page.

More than one way

"The camera doesn't lie!"

Here's another photograph taken from exactly the same location and precisely three minutes later than the one posted yesterday.

It's not that the scene actually changed all that much in those three minutes: it's just that there is always more than one way to take a photograph.

In the same way, there is usually more than one way to see, and express, reality and truth.

A different light

I have not been out of the house much in the past week but last night I took the camera and the car and went up behind Carluke to watch the sun going down.
Alongside more conventional 'sunset' photographs showing the sun as a bright red ball in the sky, and lighting up the few clouds that were around, I took this one.
It is meant to be a bit like a watercolour. Gentle and serene. I love it when the low sun can make hills and fields, which you know are solid, seem like semi-transparent tissue-paper.
If I ever do get back to painting I'll maybe do a little watercolour of this scene.
Did you realise that even Lanarkshire could look so lovely?
In a similar way, I think one of the things that the Spirit of Jesus Christ can do is enable you to see other people in a different light.
