Last Sunday evening I went for a leisurely amble to the north of Yesnaby on the Atlantic coast of West Mainland, reasoning that there might be some shelter from a biting easterly breeze. Oh how wrong I was but, as recompense, the light from the setting sun was gorgeous.

It may be windy but it’s certainly beautiful in that corner. I can’t imagine there are many days when it’s not windy! B x

ReplyDeleteNot surprisingly after two weeks in the Motherland another poem blog is out! poemblogtwentysix.blogspot.com
I know its only six weeks since the last one but poems were in burst mode! The pictures were some of the best I've ever taken - purely through being in the right place at the right time.
I think I will need a calmer bit of water for my first Orkney swim!
