Welcome.
Hallo. This site is essentially a gallery of some of our photographs from Scotland, and includes the Orkney Islands. Orkney, for those that don't know, is a group of islands six miles across the Pentland Firth from Caithness in north east Scotland. Some of the photographs were taken up to twenty or so years ago, others are more recent, so they have "progressed" from traditional SLR film cameras to digital; Panasonic, Olympus, Fuji and JVC, occasionally coupled to a Sky-Watcher Explorer 130p telescope. Some photographs from more far flung locations will be added in due course (recently, the Red Sea). Any (minimal) editing is performed using Adobe Photoshop CS2. All the photographs were taken by myself, my wife, or my granddaughter (14), whose occasional "jokes" are featured as well, unfortunately. Sincere apologies.
You may have noticed (or you may not!) a link to our dogs website on the left. Yes, I know, childish. Hutch is an English Mastiff, about two and a half years old. His site is in its infancy, but it will hopefully be improved in a few weeks. If he gets his paws out......
I will also attempt to upload my solutions to the Sunday Express General Knowledge Prize Crossword
and the Mail on Sunday Prize Crossword, usually by about 8.00pm (UK time) on the Sunday in question.
I cannot guarantee to do so, and I make no guarantee that I've got them right.
Though I did win £25.00 once...........
Thankyou
for visiting this site. We hope that you like our photographs, or even the "Joke". If you are only here for an elusive crossword answer, then good luck should you enter the competition(s).
Please feel free to download any photograph from this site, for personal, educational, or other non-commercial use. For any other purpose, please ASK first.
