The sleeping dragon of Hoy.....




is having a nap under a fluffy duvet of clouds!  I love this view from my front door. I always look towards the Sleeping Dragon. I think she only wakes during the night - I hear her roaring then, though others tell me it's the wind. I know better!

  2. You are so lucky to have such a view from your front door and I am sure it is forever changing - subtly with the seasons and different weather conditions. That sense of space and that daily connection with nature is undoubtedly good for the soul. I'm jealous.
    Best wishes, Y. Pudding Esq.

    1. When I used to work in London I would get home and do some relaxation exercises to those CDs you can get with the sound of waves etc. Now I just open the window :-) And yes it really IS good for the soul/spirit/body!

  5. That is a beautiful view. And it really does look like a sleeping dragon. If I had that view I wuld sit and write dragon stories.

    1. I grew up with stories of Welsh Dragons and yes I'm sure there are some wonderful tales to be told of this one :-)

  6. Those aren't clouds -- they're smoke coming from the dragons nostrils.
