Quite often in an Orkney summer after a sunny period we get the haar, the sea mist coming in. Here are a few photos taken on Friday when it was mostly a lovely sunny day, with the mist drifting in and out, before finally settling "in". Saturday was wet and breezy, but today has been glorious again, though the sea mist is rolling in again now as I type.
Above, the mist hiding the Hoy hills and rolling across the fields below Windbreck on Graemsay. The sleeping dragon of Hoy is hidden behind the mist across Sandside Bay. The Manse is getting lost in the mist too, but the Community Hall (green and white building) is still in the sunshine.
And across the bay to Garson and the farm of Fillets, the sun is still shining too.
And Sandside is still in the sunshine....
But Hoy High lighthouse is disappearing!
As is Stromness
But still Sandside is in the sun!
Lovely photos, and so interesting to see the mist rolling in!
ReplyDeleteI just love watching the various "weather" approaching!
Deletethat is neat to watch the mist roll in. Would love to visit the Scottish Isles.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'd love them. They are all so different. And it's lovely watching the weather roll in - whatever it is!
DeleteSuch a beautiful sight. You are certainly blessed with such wonderful views.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's the view that "sold" the place to me! That and the seals on the beach :-)
DeleteAh, as ever, the sun shines upon the righteous!
ReplyDeleteMust be my neighbours then ;-)
DeleteI have just come back from a week in a cottage outside Stromness looking right across at the Lighthouse on Graemsey - the harr was a cracker on Friday!
ReplyDeleteHope your travel planns weren't delayed by the haar? That's a challenge in the summer! I'd have waved if I'd known you were there :-) Hope you had a lovely time??
