stones


 Another cemetery snap this time with the Hassie using up the film in it. Nice sky at the time.

hoping

 


Hoping this white stuff doesn't make an appearance here again in the near future. I mean, I like the look, but makes getting anywhere difficult especially off island as the mainland opposite usually cops it worse.

Art

 


The exhibition we went to visit had fine sandwiches and coffee. The snaps were great as were the paintings and poems. Best of all the peeps there were lovely.

We stopped here on the way back. Why not? It was just a momentary stop.

been a tad damp

 


The village has been a tad damp recently. The crofter's croft is a mud bath, the peat tracks are fine frog-spawning places.

Houses houses houses

 


There are new houses going up all over the village. This one one down on a croft all black and just so. I photographed here in the barn in foreground a year or two back as the local crofter wrestled sheeps - see here

How life moves on so quickly.

Opera


 

The Scottish opera came to Stormoway recently and we, that's Eve and I went along. Lovely evening though the story was hard to follow unless one had a babelfish stuck in one ear as it was variously in English, French, German and Russian. 

I suspect it was a take on local politics but who could tell?

We are off to an exhibition opening as I write over on the west side, the other side of this island. Snaps, writings and drawings - so lots to look forward too. I shall report back in good time.

Here's another

 


I can hardly believe that no-one mentioned much yesterday. I love that snap.

Another Ilford G3 print this time from a 6x6 I came upon in the pile that is my filing system. My system seems to have gone to pot since we bought a new settee. anyway, this was taken using an auxiliary close up lens I think. looks like it anyway. Nice shine on the print from the kitchen light too.
