It was a lovely night.  The sun was just dipping under the horizon as I drove towards Maud,  the sky a bright orange colour.   It was frustrating not being able to stop the car just where I wanted – there were so many views to photograph.  But dusk on narrow country roads, and a bit of time pressure to get to Turriff made stopping impossible

However, I remembered stopping before on a similar evening, watching the sunset sky as I approached Old Deer and I found the place again.   But the really spectacular views were on the road from Old Deer to Maud.

I managed a couple of shots, but how I wished I could have stopped and captured that picture I saw of the silhouette of the bare tree against the orange sky, or the mysterious wood on top of a hill ahead of me.  But cars behind me and no place to stop put a damper on that.

Still, I was able to enjoy the view from the windscreen.   And there will be another night…..
