Little Sunday Walk
I've been lazy about going for walks recently, and lazy, too, about taking photos. So I combined the two yesterday and had a short wander around our village in bright wintery light.
Â
Orkney does do a few trees; the place is not quite treeless. This one looked marvellous against the bright sky.
Â
Here I was trying for the 'arty-farty' look
Â
This is one of the houses on Back Road. I think it's rather sweet. It is currently being done up (very slowly).
Â
Boats taking a rest in fields always amuse me. These are a good long way UPHILL from the sea!
Â
These are the old sheds behind the Creel. They conceal some wonders: amongst other things, a couple of old motor cars from the ?1940s and some antique motorcycles. There's an Orkney life in there; the owner lives in Edinburgh and comes once a year to check his sheds.
Â
There's a fine view of the bay from the top of the Hope. The light was right for a shot.
Â
The next 2 shots were taken in the South Parish, ie at the southern end of our island, a week or so ago. They weren't part of this walk, but I quite like them.
I think this house is amazingly situated. The land across the water is Scotland. Basically, one is looking across the water to John o' Groats
