eclectechThere is something a bit weird going on. Been sorting through my photos from the last week & LOADS of clouds are forming with open mouths. This is not normal. You'd get one every now and then but honestly, they're EVERYWHERE. I, of course, welcome our new Chompy Cloud Overlords but still... it's a bit odd.

When it was more gloomy, we headed to Dundee to check the city out.In particular, the V&A Dundee Museum of Design proved a totally fascinating subject <a href="https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/3/13/the-va-design-museum-dundee-scotland-winter" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/3/13/the-va-design-museum-dundee-scotland-winter</a><a href="https://photog.social/tags/travel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#travel</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/winter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#winter</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/scotland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scotland</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/photo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photo</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/photographie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photographie</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/historical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#historical</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/uk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uk</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/britain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#britain</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/dundee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dundee</a>

eclectechYou know how the wee window you type in asks "What's on your mind?" before you've written anything?Sometimes, when I've posted the picture and it's just sitting there with that question above, I just think "well, not very much, obviously".Anyhow, apropos of nothing in particular, have another cloud.<a href="https://things.uk/tags/sillyScribbles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sillyScribbles</a> <a href="https://things.uk/tags/cloudCreatures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cloudCreatures</a> <a href="https://things.uk/tags/Scotland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Scotland</a>

Steven Lawson PhotographyI love the elegant curve of this streetlamp standing against the stark, modernistic and very, very red frontage of a Glasgow University building in the West End.

eclectechIt has been a dreich winter, and seeing blue skies & fluffy clouds this week has been a treat but now my phone is full of cloud photos because they were just too splendid not to snap.
