[Leica] Highlands PAW 49-52

[John McMaster]

Hi Douglas, the yarn is unusual in that it is untwisted hence quite 'hairy'.  It is then twisted into single threads and multiple threads get wound together to make wool like you are used to seeing.

The photo was taken in August 2014, I think that was a very wet summer (I was still in NZ then), and on the image I have it looks like a rain fountain from water run-off down the gully.  There is a second waterfall from the burn that runs through our property out of sight, just to the left of the mill runoff one.  I have shown some photos of when they are the 'Whaligoe geysers' and the wind is blowing them up and backwards onto the land e.g https://johnmcmaster.com/PAW/2018/11/  
I only have a 20MB JPEG of this image so do not know what has been done to it, but the file/colours are horrible to work with.  I assumed a good compact until I looked at EXIF and saw that it was a Canon 5D3 with 24-70/2.8...

Finally, we are on the tail end of the Gulf Stream (as well as being coastal) so not as cold as many places further south ;-)  It was only going to be SDP or Lib-Dem up here, ended up with only a couple of hundred votes splitting them (in Lib-Dem favour), but that is a large SDP gain....

John, I like all of them, especially the shot of the yarn, but my 
comprehension of yarn is limited so I have no idea how fine it is. Looks 
a lot of work to turn it into a jumper though.
The shot of the house in such a dramatic setting is marvellous. You 
could start a cliff diving school there for people with a death wish. 
Can't see the pic in a decent size, so have to ask what causes the 
second water outflow close to the bottom left.
BTW I was thinking of you during the recent UK election - freezing up in 
your area during the run in - and hope you weren't one of the poor souls 
out canvassing...
