Hope I'm not boring folk with my mini sets of pics featuring the weather and sea in the far north, but here is another one. This is from John O'Groats today, at about 1445. It was wet (very) and windy (also very). I do get a rush from doing these pics. Camera
soaked, now drying out (again). Please enjoy.

    Fantastic pictures, John.  Thankyou for sharing, not surprised the camera now needs to dry out.

    Have to say, my nikon stands up to abuse very well indeed. Dust, water, me,  you name it. Never missed a beat in the last 25,000 frames. It'll get dried, cleaned, and ready for the next onslaught. Just a normal day. ;-)

    Great photos again Laughing  Thanks for sharing.  Can't believe we've got on a boat there to cross to Orkney, thankfully it was mill
    pond calm.

    Stood on the end there to get a shot of a RIB heading for Orkney. Definitely not a location for a shot in those conditions.

    CY you should have seen the standing waves out in the firth. Like monsters from an
    apocalyptic movie.

    Excellent pics JD, very atmospheric-I'm another ocean lover, I like the milky slow shutter shots too, the other end of the scaleLaughing

    Thanks everyone. lol, no caravaners were harmewd in taking these shots.

    And finally, I'll just squeeze this one in. Wide shot across the bay at Dunbeath. Really drab, cold feeling, grey day. So I did it in mono <<HERE>>

    enjoy ;-)

    Nice pics -- I'll bet the "foot passenger" ferry from John o groats to Orkney remained tied up that day.

    Kennine, Yes. In wick. Surprised It'll be there having some more rust chipped off, and replaced with paint.
