Around Scapa Flow

Yesterday, we came across Scapa Flow, today we went around it. A correction from yesterday, it wasn't the British that scuttled the German fleet in Scapa Flow, but the Germans. Look it up if you want to know more. There was a group of Germans in the Pub here tonight with Scapa German Recovery dive team of their shirts, I guess good luck with that task.

In case you ever wanted that real fish & chip shop taste, well that have bottled here in Orkney, you can now your salad sandwich taste like a fish&chip shop if you want.

This is the Northlight Gallery in Stromness that Joy has a small exhibition on at.

Too much time on their hands

Strange looking clouds over Kirkwall

Above and Below, the standing Stones of Stenness

A little face

Graffiti from 1880

and even earlier 1818 

And these stones point to the Ring of Brodgar below

The Scots can be a bit nationalistic

The Brits can really do Standing Stones.
