Not fully operational

For some reason I seem to be barely operational - at least not at full tilt - or hardly any tilt at all to be honest. Must have been the traffic, all the people, the cyclists and the rain.

Back on the rock now for a few days so recovering with the help of Billy the newly resident cat -whilst Eve pops down south again.

I may have over-egged things a little yesterday

There weren't any cars just here either. Just to Eve's left there were cars but not here.

Have you ever been to the mainland?

I have.
Not so keen as it happens. It rains a lot and there are are cars everywhere - except here in this snap. this is the only place where they don't go, trust me.

Hepworth

Hepworth gallery had a couple of visits from us whilst nearby. Terrific cafe with a superb gallery attached. It was so good to be there again I got carried away with the Kodak Cresta camera.

Yes, of course we were at the Yorkshire sculpture park. Why wouldn't we go when we were in the area. Lovely day it was too.  Lots of lovely work including this by Ai weiwei. Twas so good, I took the snap several times before winding the film on.

any idea?

a fav place of mine

Bosta on a misty day. A most lovely place on any day.

and....

A couple more snaps in more my way of looking

Best to leave the viewer something to think about or imagine

Rodel; Godwin style

Yep, snapped this up on a wee trip down to see John Maher in his engine tuning hovel in Obb on Harris. Lovely day, dropped my ebike off to be super fettled by the man 'imself then off to Rodel and St Clements church where I channelled Fay Godwin for this snap.

street dancing

Double dog

With Bob and anon

Gaiole

That trip.
What a fab time we had.

Then

When the world was looking at the oil rig that crashed onto the island and then was floated round to the bay nearby where it sat sitting for a few months till they put it on a special boat thing and took to somewhere in the Med to break it up. That time.

Boating

We used to go boating but now the little sailing tub has gone to new owners. This wasn't it but on a hired boat on the Caledonian canal. Lovely

I may be away with the faries

I'm not here though. Somewhere I have to go for work from time to time. Nice eh?

withoot Junction

Lovely place with fine tea-room too. Clapham in North Yorkshire.

I was trying to channel Misonne here.

Down by Law

Loved that film. In fact anything by Jim Jarmusch or Tom Waits is fine by me.  But this snap is of the lovely Island Darkroom Mhairi Law whom I must have snapped up years ago. I glad I did, I rather like it.
And while you are here check out Mhairi's work. Oh, and Katie Macleod-Harris whose work I love too

Walls

Not the ice-cream.

William

Love this snap of William taken a few years back when he took us for a windy stroll near his home. We still see William and Gemma regularly which is just lovely.

Seem to recal using the old Zorki6 for this, must get the old thing [camera that is] out again.

Spainland; another year

This was the same country. on the north coast - lovely part I must say. It was hot. can you tell?
