A wander on a calm day....

Along the shore... of course.... below a cormorant(?), gull and oystercatchers on the old lighthouse pier at Sandside.

Cormorant(?!)

The old sail shed at Sandside, attached to the old byres.

Looking towards Stromness

Black Craig over on West Mainland

Stromness harbour.....

The MV Graemsay on sea trials! Our ferry has been "broken" and out of service since the beginning of December, with the MV Golden Marianna standing in for it - a poor replacement for our service.  So it will be great to (hopefully) get our proper ferry back this week!

Coral beach...

Looking West...

Waving to Stromness and the West Mainland of Orkney.....

Graemsay on the left, Orkney Mainland on the right and the mouth of Hoy Sound in the middle

It's been so wet here (as in many places).  But I've never seen water running off the fields like this before.

Rocks on the shore...

Love this shoreline...

Rocks at the base of the old lighthouse pier.

Big vistas....

Sandside bay....

Clouds approaching......
