My sciatica was getting me down big time yesterday. The best I can do at these moments is go for a walk - it helps my leg and definitely helps my morale. Hubby was working away in the garden, so I went off on my own. I nearly didn't bother with the camera, such was my mood, but a timely reminder from hubby made me go back into the house and get it. I'm glad I did, because without it I wouldn't have been able to capture these two brave fellows climbing up the rocks at the Pass of Ballater. I watched the guy in red for ages before I realised that there was also a guy in blue above him.
Goodness me, brave chaps! Hubby's godson is a rock climber. Amazes me every time I think about it.
Sorry about your sciatica. Have suffered from it myself before, so I truly feel for you. Mine was caused by a disc issue but have also had it from piriformis syndrome. Physio helped me. Horrid thing, I hope it settles down again soon.
Glad you took your camera! I didn't see the second one at first too. Great capture - and good entertainment for you to capture! Hope you're feeling better soon
Hope the sciatica has eased today. I have problems with my neck and the last couple of days have been so chilly here and that has given me problems with my neck. I think we both need oiling.
I have no idea how anyone could get the slightest bit of pleasure from climbing up there. Good job we aren’t all alike!
Do hope your sciatica is feeling better today but it’s a long haul with that sometimes!
This is definitely NOT an activity for the faint of heart or those who are afraid of heights like me! But it sure makes for an awesome shot! I hope your walk helped to relieve the sciatica. Anyone who has something like that can sympathize! But I'm inspired by your determination to get through it.
@jb030958 You know what, I've been wondering that myself. It may well have been the trigger to this flare up. I cycled two days running, which I haven't done in ages. It seemed ok at the time, but it is possible that there's a link. So, I'll forget the wheels for a while and stick to using my legs to get me about.
@happypat It's a very long haul, this has been going on for months now ... but walking is still a tonic, and something I can do with no side effects. I must remain positive and get myself out walking as much as possible - even if I can't be bothered, it always helps me. So, I go out, rain or shine, alone or accompanied, but always with camera!
