Cafe life

I like cafes in the main. I like being able to sup and drink and watch the world go by..

Art

Oh, we saw Art big and small. Intentional and non-intentional art inside and out.

This Art was floating. I should imagine it floats fast o'er the water in a fair breeze.

I was wondering if Christo stayed here.

I have no idea

Why did I take this snap?

Maybe it was because the chicken crossed the road. Or because I liked the shape of things and thought I'd better record it until something better came along.

By the sewer works

Don't tell me I don't bring you the best bits.
You can just imagine the smell from the building behind there. I can anyway :-(

We walked here often , a short cut from there to over there bypassing the bit we didn't want to walk. It was fine. The graffiti great even a film crew one day doing a music vid I shouldn't wonder.

Apologies in advance

I seem to have taken a colour film the other day - in the less than perfect Viv UW&S. Oh well, I give you a proper holiday snap with my second favourite seagull thing. !

People seemed to have time to sit around here. Drink coffee and everything watching the peeps walk up and down in the shallow water.

I liked this little place.

Bier

Yes, they sold bier at this place. Not that this was one I bought I was just channelling Rax at the time.

Actually saw Scottish Brewdog beer for sale at a fine Vegi cafe one day. We didn't drink it preferring to taste and enjoy the local artisan stuff - the name of which escapes me but it was lovely.

Ooof and everythng

Oh it was nice to have the OM1n back.

I'll tell you where

If I could remember.
Might be Trogir. Nice place if it weren't for all the tourists - like us.
The people were not in this bit. You might have noticed that.
[excuse me while I sip my gin flavoured drink].
Lovely little city on an island with lots of boats and bars.

Luckily the Viv UW&S was at hand.  I really don't know why I bother with any other camera. I paid 99p for this little thing about 11 years ago. Good value I'd say.

I'll give you one guess

Was this the Stornoway ferry o'er the Minch or the ferry to Solta island.
No, wrong.
It was the ferry to Solta island and everything.

It might have been warm

That day we rode hire bikes from somewhere to elsewhere on the island. Solta island that is. Warmish anyway. We hid under a tree/bush in this lovely quiet village sans people. the village has a name but I can't spell it or pronounce it, now or at the time. In fact at the time the perspiration was in my eyes partially compromising my sight from having to hang on to my hired and dodgy ebike.

I did have the very usefully light and excellent [if everso slightly broken] Vivitar UW&S camera with me - although loaded with HP5 so a dark red filter was held over the lens' like aperture. It worked.

We call them ginnels

They, there don't

Josip

Makes a fine coffee and is an analogue photoist as well. Gave him a roll of HP5 to go with his new-to-him Loma.

I used the OM1n and KosmoMono 100.

I know, it didn't look like that when you were there !

I had a ginger beer too many possibly. The rush of sugar had gone straight to my elbows and everything.

I hope you are enjoying the holiday snaps

So pleased I took the OM1n even if the lightmeter couldn't cope. It was the weather see.
Yes we went on an aeroplane and a bus plus a few ferries.
We might have had a lemonade too

We were between there and just there.

Just the mood I felt while we were there. Out the by the sea and everything. Dark ginnels, people in places. That sort of thing.

We're back

No, we didn't see that Man from There.
But we might have

just near here

Or at least, just down the road is the Bac Pharmacy and here the lovely proprieter has just taken an early retirtement. I just want to say thank you Carolyn  and wish you all the best xx.

So,,,,

Not here. Not now anyway.

Hope the Pride march in Stornoway and Inverness are abfab today

Rain

Did you know it can rain here on the islands?

Did I mention?

We may be elsewhere.
