The weather has been changeable this week. Some lovely sunny days with real warmth in the sun, and other days have been wet and windy, or just chilly and windy..... here's another selection of photos from along the shore!
Stromness in the distance.....
Sun behind the clouds....
I sought shelter in this roofless lean-to building - it has great views and some protection from the wind...
It was tied into the old steading, which was originally a dwelling house, then became byres. You can see it's gradually parting company now!
On oneof the stones you can see someone has tried inscribing some letters. I can't make this out, but generations of children who have lived at Sandside have carved their names in the stone around about. It's like finding treasure when I spot a new one...
And among the stones of the old pier, a wee wren keeps me company.....
I'm glad that Sandside has a sunny side!
ReplyDeleteLovely shot of the wren :o)
The sun usually shines on Sandside but unfortunately not on the day your visited!!
DeleteThe ruins simply add to the wonder of your walks on the shore. I am envious.
ReplyDeleteYes lots of interest along the shore. I can potter around for hours....
DeleteSuper. I love the detail of the lichen on the stone and the tiny wren. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the lichen. This little wren was hovering about the whole time I was along the track. Which worried me a bit as Button was not far behind me....
DeleteBeautiful scenery...I am glad you are out enjoying your walks...
ReplyDeleteWe are still snow locked here..
Sherri-Ellen & Nylablue too xoxoxo
Do you still have snow? I try and get out each day if I can. Though this last week was too windy so I mostly just went and fed the hens, Charlie the barn cat, cast a look at the wild sea and headed home again!
