I drive past Baldoon Airfield most days and always keep an eye open for photo opportunities not least of all because I know this boat is "tied up" on a trailer near to the main runway of the airfield. Last year a crop of barley was grown and I took a couple of similar shots, Image] and Image], this year it's rapeseed. The view is across the airfield towards Wigtown. On the left is The Wigtown Martyrs Monument which stands on Windy Hill http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/wigtown/martyrs/index.html. On the horizon are the Galloway Hills with the Cairnsmore of Fleet far right of the picture. Not a cloud in the sky and bright sunshine on the day I visited.
