Storm Boelo is hitting us hard in Orkney today.
I wanted to test out the beardometer at Skaill today. Took my breath away.
Mini overview of the Standing Stones henge monument.
Storm Boelo is starting to ramp up over Orkney so easier to do short overview from the car.

Walking down the 176 steps of North Ronaldsay lighthouse, the tallest land based lighthouse in the UK.
The lighthouse was designed by Alan Stevenson and constructed in 1852. The height is 42m (138ft).
I think it was easier climbing up instead of coming back down.

Speak peek of Skara Brae the ancient Neolithic village uncovered by a storm ☔️ in 1850.

The sun clears the edge of Orkney and the whole sky catches fire. Layered cloud burns amber and gold while the islands stay a dark line beneath it, wind turbines the only witness on the ridge.
Mornings here do not arrive quietly.

One of my fav ways to chill after a long day is by sitting near the sea and listening to the light waves at Hatston slip in Kirkwall.

Orkney’s northern tip. Sheep eating seaweed.
In 1832 the islanders built a 13-mile wall to keep them off the grass.
The sheep adapted. Now they graze kelp
Storms dump extra food. Their guts changed. Too much grass can poison them.
Tiny. Ancient. Still out on the rocks.
