before the rainbow

If you squint and/or zoom in, you may be able to see the tiny, faint piece of a rainbow on the far left. Just seconds after I made this photo, a huge, bright rainbow appeared, which resulted in a group of photographers going as fast as they could across wet rocks and slippery seaweed (while carrying cameras and tripods) to get the right angle for The Shot of wrecked boats and a rainbow (which shortly turned into a double rainbow).

Any non-photographers who saw the scramble probably thought, “Photographers are weird.”

They are not wrong, of course. But we’re weird in a nice way.

the ragged end

These boats met their end on the shore of Salen Bay, on the Isle of Mull and now they are a photographic destination. I’m not sure how long they’ve been there, but the boat on the left has a tree growing in it.

rocker

Oh, look! I saw a very, very small car on the road. (Normal size rocking chair included for scale.)

don’t stay here

As appealing as this place seems when you drive by, and as much as you’re likely to start thinking about a vacation to Vega so you can stay here for a while, the fact is that the Vega Motel is closed.

Move along.

Truxton is a one-letter sort of town. And that one letter is G.

Now you know.
