Great pictures Highlander.

How many of us would have seen the opportunity as we walked past I wonder?

Well spotted and thanks for sharing.

[highlander]

Glad you all enjoyed the photo's, i got so excited when i found them and had never seen anything like that before, the formations that was formed was breathtaking.

[sassylass]

Very interesting, how do you suppose they were formed? Was it the stalagmite way.. with water dripping from above, or repeated freezing of dew, or what? Inquiring minds want to know [lol].

Stalactites hang down, stalagmites point upwards, easy to remember if you think of stalactites as tights! ;)

[acameron]

They're alright I suppose.lol

Pretty impressive though

[canuck]

From the mineral deposits set down in my mind when I was a child in the Caithness West school system, the 'g' in stalagmites reminds us of the ground to which they are attached.

Those are good ways to remember which is which. Also, the 'c' in stalactites reminds us that they form on the ceiling of a cave. :)

[Happy Gilmour]

Is it your outside doormat????

[Torvaig]

Highlander, your pictures are amazing; many thanks for sharing them! I remember stalagmites and stalactites by the fact that stalactites have to hang on tight.......:lol: and I agree with HG that the last photo is of your doormat. :)

[North Light]

Just contrasted the sky a bit to bring out the darker clouds.

Thanks for the comments Highlander:cool:

Currently listening to Blutengle

[wifie]

The clouds look like they are frayed. I like the glassy water very much.
Excellent milk bottles btw!

Some where around Lairg, on the main road, a few weeks ago. Photo taken through a dirty windscreen. :cool:

[wifie]

If the car was moving - how do you not get shake?

[Mystical Potato Head]

Excellent frosty images again Psyberyeti,or should we start calling you the "frostmaster"

That is a pretty 'cool' name. But, I do already have the name 'Yeti' from being big, lumbering and hairy.:cool::lol::cool:

Mr Yeti is driving a Mercedes... they are not that fast [lol]

[Deemac]

Psyberyeti, your recent photos are wonderful. I'm starting to get concerned about you winning the camera club competition for 2008/9;)

No. Stop messin' about. You're making me blush:Razz ...

[I'd better get to work on my acceptance speech for March then ;-))))))))))))) {{{ ]

My wifie was driving and she is a smooooth driver - focusing well ahead and a fast shutter means little visible shake.

I have to admit that I was inspired by a number of Raven's 'photos from a moving car shots' that made me realise that it is very possible.

Plus, I was worried that if I asked my wifie to stop again so that I could get out to take some more photos she might not wait for me to get back in before heading for home[lol].
