As an island, the Isle of Lewis is surrounded by sea - apart from the bit that isn't. That's the Isle of Harris bit which in fact joined by an isthmus. Harris is also surrounded by the splashy stuff so there's plenty of the wet to photograph. Here it come close to the shore at Brevig so I snapped it. In this case from the car window as it was blowing a minor hoolee.
Here he is snuggled and everything at home.
Known the fella for some years now but we don't get in his lovely darkroom now as he [and I as it happens] are not so mobile and active as we were.
I'd forgotten about these dishes. In the Faroe islands decades ago I first saw a plethora of them. Now I see them again here. Are they still in use?
We did have a little one for local tinternet but that's long gone.
Now, please don't bother while I watch the Strade Bianchi cycle races.
We sat among the departed here in the sunshine. We have been here before and no doubt will go somewhere similar again.
After the wedding in whereeveritwas, we tootled off to a bigger place and settled into a nice hotel where my sisters, one older and the other younger met us after taking a flying carpet from the west country where they reside.
Ooof, lots of peeps there. Not at the hotel -which was a lovely Georgian building but lacked lifts on account of its architectural listing. The stairs were grand but staggeringly long and I was hoping to see a chair handily located halfway up. I did not.
We had a fine time catching up with the gossip and going from cafe to cafe via galleries until my energy was sapped [about 11 am] .
No idea where the snap was taken with the Olympus XA . I presume it was in the same place . It certainly looks like it.
As you may have realised by now, I like photographing weddings. Outdoor or indoor I don't mind - although I rather wish I had thought about location this time as not only was it indoors it was dark. Never the less, despite the shortcomings of not having a suitable camera with me [Olympus XA - no flash and Ilford Ortho film @ 80asa] I managed a veritable masterpiece as you can see.
To be honest I wasn't sure whether they were waving their hands in celebration or drowning in happiness. I took the snap all the same and I'm sure they will love it. I hope so since some of the others actually were in focus.
The occasion was lovely and what have you although my tinnitus was a tad hash at bedtime. There was a 3 week old babe there all the way from Knoydart [ he had not actually been there yet but Ma and Pa baby live there so he will] maybe he'll grow up to be a sound technician!
