Picture-postcard land

3/5/2016

2 Comments

 
I posted a reproduction of a postcard last week. The word 'postcard' stuck in my mind and I eventually realised that this was because I seem to be living in picture-postcard land. What do I mean by this? Over the last few days of lovely spring lighting (interspersed with some jolly rainstorms and brisk winds) I have encountered postcard-worthy views at every turn! Here are three examples, taken over the last 3 days as I was out and about. What a place Orkney is for photographers!
However, I'll start with my postcard of St Margaret's Hope. The Creel is slap-bang in the centre of the picture (of course😜). So I live in – and my guests can come to join me in – a picture postcard.😀😀😀

Is the unnamed road not Ness road? Thinking the house is Ness

I bet you're right. I went to the geolocation on Google Maps and it says 'unnamed road'. We all know it's a crime to even think Google might be wrong! So I went with that...

    I like to take photos and am fond of clichés - so I'll say I find them to be worth a thousand words.
