April Squares: Blackhill
I like this shot of John, on top of the world at Blackhill Viewpoint in Lanarkshire, because it almost looks as though he is levitating. He has, of course, no such talent (but has many others, I hasten to add).
Blackhill features as a tiny afterthought in my post on Craignethan Castle. I wouldn’t have noticed had I not reread that but, on the horizon to the right of the trig point where several hedges converge, a fuzzy rainbow is just starting to form. It was that sort of day!
Linked to Becky’s #SquareTops challenge. We’re into the last week already!
That’s a great photo. There must be many Black Hills in the world. Mr ET used to play with his best friend Kevin up at Black Hill in Ballarat when he was a boy.

I knew it had to be one of two places. Both are interesting yet still little visited by tourists.

Didn’t see another soul up here!

I looked at the photo again after I read your first sentence and burst out laughing – how long has John been keeping that trick a secret? 🙂 🙂 It’s a good view though and I like the fuzzy bit of rainbow 🙂

He forgot himself and let the secret out of the bag just this once!

Or photoshopped, as someone else suggested! Couldn’t create such an effect if I tried.

It does, it’s weird! I think it’s because the grass looks continuous, but he’s really standing on the edge of a steep slope.

He does! Can’t get him to repeat the trick though.

Excellent. Craignethan is a cool place. The time I was there I managed to trip down some stairs. Nothing was injured except my pride.

Oh dear! An affront to your dignity. I’ve had a few of those trips in my time.
