I have been cleaning up my photo store and found this photo that I took in 2011 from the windows of Ocean Terminal. 14 odd years later it's all been built on. All Flats now.

On a autumnal theme again. This is the sitting room carpet of my childhood home that my mum still lives in. The carpet has not changed since 1974 when we moved in. My parents always talked about changing it at various times- never got round to it though.

When went to look at the Ring Of Brodgar is a proper Orkney day. Dreich and windy. Wrapping my head round the that 3 thousand odd years ago people carved, hauled and then set up these stones in meaningful configuration to them ( that we can only debate about) is mindblowing.

Cleaning up some photos on my Google drive I found this one I took when stayed in lovely cottage banks of Loch Awe. In the distance in Ben Cruachan.

I think it has the feels of "Middle Earth" about it.

Enjoy.
