Balmy Evening
28 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
In every accommodation I have a favourite spot to unwind and heal my muscles from carrying the heavy camera equipment over miles and miles. Here it's certainly the seating area in the garden. I stillЧитать далее
Good sea legs
29 июня 2023 г., North Sea ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
"Mucki" needs to have good sea legs. Again it's on a ferry, this time to Westray, one of the Northern Isles of Orkney.
Literally no EV chargers on that isle. But it's small, we should be ok.
Posing
29 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
On Westray the puffins are quite relaxed if you get close to them. I was at times just 50cm away. I kept talking to them so they became familiar with me and I was able to move closer and closer.
The 4WD 500e
29 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
The "road" (more off than road) to the Noup Head Lighthouse is even for a real 4WD challenging. But my 500e mastered it like a pro!
Cliff's Edge
29 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
Noup Head Lighthouse is standing on top of very steep cliffs. What a show for eyes and ears (birds and waves)...! Just... don't be afraid of heights....
Spooky
29 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
A haunted castle (Noltland) with a ghost hound... Really super spooky! Cool that it is still allowed to discover the ruins.
Who needs the Carribbean???
29 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
White sand, blue sky, sun, sea. Westray has it all.
Revisited
30 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Yesnaby Castle stack is just so amazing - we went there twice. The first time was sunny and there was too much shade on the cliffs. We wanted a moodier version. Today was the day and luckily littleЧитать далее
Vegan Burger Van
30 июня 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ 🌧 16 °C
Just next to our favourite rapid charger station in Orkney there's a burger van. As we found out now - they sell vegan burgers with hand made patties (from an open minded butcher in Stromness). Cool!
Off the beaten path
1 июля 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ 🌬 14 °C
This bay with the picture perfect sea stack is hardly known amongst tourists but much loved by locals: Windwick Bay
Goodbye Orkney
4 июля 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
After two days of computer work (which has to be done if one travels 5 months) it's now time to sail from Stromness to Scottish mainland (Scrabster) and discover the northern Highlands.
Goodbye OrkneyЧитать далее
Last Orcadian man waving goodbye
4 июля 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
The Old Man of Hoy is greeting us on the ferry and let me think I might be back one day.
Northlink
4 июля 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
We travelled quite a bit with the Northlink ferries. Aberdeen - Lerwick - Kirkwall - Scrabster.
And I must say, I truly enjoyed the journeys, nice cabins, good food (A vegan Thai curry) and friendlyЧитать далее
Shoot and Charge
4 июля 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
How very convenient: a rapid charger just next to a photo location, the Scrabster lighthouse. Cool!
1100 miles of Orkney and the Shetlands
4 июля 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Who would have thought that... The last time I took a photo of our tour mileage, it was one day before we left for the Shetlands, 10th of June. After Shetland and Orkney we arrived now in Scrabster,Читать далее
Again most Northerly...
4 июля 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Our trip is for sure the superlative of "most Northerly"...
This time Dunnet Head, the most northerly point of Great Britain's mainland.
Beat the crowds
5 июля 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
John o Groat's very early before the mass tourism awakes....
The coastline made from dreams
5 июля 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
I'm (almost) lost for words to describe the beauty of the coastline of Duncansby. Look for yourself...
We spent almost 7 hours, walked along the cliffs and stopped every 10 m for another photo.
Vegan charging
5 июля 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
How very convenient! Not only that there is a rapid charger just next to the often photographed John o Groat's sign post. There's also a café (Café Groats) which offers vegan cookies, hotdogs,Читать далее
Queen Mum
5 июля 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Mucki pays tribute to the late Queen Mum at the beautiful Castle of Mey. Her favourite place. Also the now King visits often and loves it.
Epic
6 июля 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
Good morning from the epic coast of Wick, here at Noss Head Lighthouse.
Spectacular position
6 июля 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
Castle Sinclair Girnigoe was spectacularly positioned on top of cliffs and sea stacks. Not a lot left - but somehow this is particularly charming.
A "ruined" day
6 июля 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
After the ruined castle this morning, here is another one: Keiss Castle.
The shore is full of seals btw.
Fisherman's haven
6 июля 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Keiss Harbour is a small and still authentic little gem off the beaten path.
Windy Long Exposure
6 июля 2023 г., Шотландия ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
The rough and windy coast of Old Wick. I was trying hard to capture a non blurry long exposure photo with some gales... But I succeeded!
