The Kelpies, The Helix, Falkirk.

My first visit to what are already iconic sculptures by Andy Scott on the Forth & Clyde Canal at Falkirk. Click on the links for more info.

A hot spot for togs most days I would imagine and there were a few there when I arrived at 9pm. The sky was developing nicely but in the end the cloud cover on the horizon became too thick. This was the best of the light about 1/2 hr before sunset. For about 2 minutes the sun shone, low and intense in the NW, before disappearing back into the cloud. After sunset the clouds drifted north leaving a clear blue sky and it was still fairly light when I left at 11:30pm. A main power line runs behind the site. I've left the power cables in but managed to position the pylon behind the horse. Lee 0.9 ND pro-glass filter to slow things down slightly. More on my blog.

Note From Editor: This week's pic is a slight deviation from our ongoing "Fife" theme. But this was such a striking image, we thought it would be OK to cross the borders of Fife, once in a while. :)
