In the bleak mid-winter....
Except it's only JUST winter! But on Sunday I decided to take a "turn" around the island in the car to give it a run as it has sat in a gale and snow for days. It was lovely to get out too and the island of Hoy looked magnificent! So here are a few photos of my drive round the island. Button, of course, remained firmly in her bed, snoozing!
O love the bluish colours, though the light to the eye wasn't quit that blue.
It's snowing on Hoy!
Looking across the croft of Dean on Graemsay to Hoy.
Still snowing!
A panorama of Hoy round to Stromness on the right.
This panorama distorts the landscape a bit but I do love it!
The road home - strewn with seaweed. Hoy High in the background.
The waves threw the seaweed across the road and into the adjacent field. Not many stones in it thankfully.
Winter actually is a beautiful and dramatic season. Regards, Mark.
