From Goat Island

From Goat Island, originally uploaded by dimacleod.

Stornoway from Goat Island. Tide and sun are out. Cold Norse wind blowing. Sounds of seagulls and traffic rather that raiders going a'viking.

Thank you, PW. Just a snap off my camera-phone, so a bit blurry at that range. My new one will be sooo much better. I hope.

The clouds are moving down from north-east, so are cold, but the rain hasn't hit.

The Met Office isobar chart is very useful. Being on the edge of the UK means I'm taking more of an interest in the weather.; 3:42 pm, August 07, 2008
