It's been a dreich couple of days, with low grey skies, breezy and rain. So here are some pictures from the last week or so.
This set were taken by Mr W of Imperfect and Tense when he and Mrs W were out visiting Graemsay last weekend. Above, Mrs W, myself and Madam Button take a walk along the shore. Orkney Mainland in the background...
And Madam Button......
I think this is probably the most active they have seen her!
Button is somewhat distracted. I loved the crossed paws! She's been watching too much "Strictly" (Strictly Come Dancing/Dancing with the stars)
A tree in my garden and looking over to the Lighthouse....
A better version of the lighthouse with moon than my blurry one earlier in this blog!
And a couple he took in the morning of the sunrise. As sunrise isn't till after 9 Mr and Mrs W were in Stromness for the ferry in plenty of time to get these shots.... Both are very Turneresque. The pictures, not Mr and Mrs W....
These are a few of mine. Two from Stromness Harbour. I love the low light of Winter...
And the MV Graemsay sailing out of the harbour....
And these were taken through a car window (don't worry I wasn't driving!) looking over the Stenness Loch and towards the Hoy Hills....
Thank you for the 'shout'! It has been a couple of dreich days, right enough. It was amazing to see the new, improved, Terrain Response Button :o)
ReplyDeleteI like low light shots, lots of drama in them. Have a good New Year.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that all pictures taken of the shore, there, turn out perfectly. The light is perfect isn't it?
ReplyDeleteSun low in the sky, means that in winter, people in Scotland run low on vitamin D. Possible partial explanation for our high rate of childhood diabetes.
