Winter Sun

Not so much an "Image from the Road" as a movie from my upstairs window. A time lapse movie of a short Scottish winter's day with the sun not rising far above the horizon.

The movie was shot on an action camera taking and image every 5 seconds and compiling 6,152 images into a movie at 60 frames per second thus 300x speed.

In the woods.

Torthorwald Castle near Dumfries. I've always thought that this was a strange name for Scotland. Sounds Scandinavian or Germany (The Gate to Thor's Forest?) Though it seems it's a family name. Now ruined stump the castle is thought to date from the late 14th century and was last occupied in 1715.
