Santa's Grotty...

...Travelling from Aberdeen to Gairloch today, visiting Granny and Grumpa McGeek, I spotted a number of photo opportunities...but somehow couldn't bring myself to stop. I had a slight nagging feeling of regret, but nothing compared to the usual "missed blip blues"...

...and I think this is why. I spotted this fella out of the corner of my eye as I passed the Loch Maree hotel, screeched to a halt at the earliest opportunity and wheiched the car around to snap this bad boy. I really like the old style petrol pump, too...it could be a blip in its own right and might still be at a later date...
