not always deserted.



Keith has to share this road with David amongst others. This is David Rowlston father of the crofter down the road. Lovely chap too.

The old Minolta 505si got an outing for this snap with Foma200@400. Eh!

As you might realise I have not been far from home of late. Perhaps my darkroom requires a visit.

Tourists

 


Lovely.

Bicycles and everything .  A pleasure to see instead of the camper vans that plague the islands. Having said that, the weather has been a tad breezy of later making cycling a one-way pleasure.

Sam

 


Recent incomer to the Village and nearby neighbour Sam on his other plot of land at tother end on the village planting some of the hundreds of trees going in. Helping was another villager Kate her of the 'emu' / chicken cage and community polycrubber.

By the time you read this I will have square eyes on account of watching the wonderful Paris - Roubaix cycle race on the pooter.

Edit; the races were just wonderful, exciting and if you have a chance go and watch them

Horse power

 


I've gone wider. 20mm to be precise. Used a lens that was given to me attached to an old canon slr of some sort. Does mean that if you use a faster film you don't have to focus for snaps such as these. Look, there are those horsey ones doing a bit of beach walking. I might get used to this.

The memorial


Another island snap you don't usually see on the interweb. From the toon towards the memorial.

Agin fomapan 100 @ 400 in Rodinal. Not too bad me thinks.

On another note, Dave was a wimp.

we have them

 


So pleased we have these defibs around the village. We are all getting ancient and just perhaps there would be an able person to put them to good use.
