    I love looking at the photos posted on the Org.
    Wish they would come along more frequently.
    I like the pics of the area most as with not living in Caithness, it gives me an insight into the area

    OK, my photos of Scrabster today:




    hmmm, does not look quite as good as Raven's somehow.

    But my seal pup in the harbour might get the 'Ahhh' vote. I took a few more photos which I zoomed in on but there was too much camera shake in the very gloomy conditions.

    AAAHHH indeed! What a cutie!
    I wonder why there is a balcony without a window or a door on the icehouse???

    Question One for Tugmistress?

    You are absolutely right. I did not see that until you mentioned it. I have no idea, but there must be a reason

    Maybe Tugmistress can come up with the answer? Is there a door or something there that we just can't see?

    ??

    It's not very pretty is it

    Not a clue sorry! unless there was once a door/window there?
    am at work again tomorrow, will try and remember to ask the question lol

    lovely young grey seal pup there too, he's been knocking around for a couple of weeks now and is putting on weight nicely.

    Will do some of my own night shots of scrabster when i get my tripod attachment back ( i posted it still attached to my camera when i sold it last week like a numpty, waiting for it to come back in the post for me!) and i treated myself to an early double pressie to a Canon EOS400D

    This is my fav of Scrabster at the moment, 29th september



    I have it on canvas on my living room wall too.

    Hello Tugs, how did you put it onto canvas?? Did you have it printed by an internet photo company or something?

    yup, used these people and i must say i am more than happy with what they have done!

    Unicorn, that one was a sunset not a sunrise lol you must have been inside, but then again it only lasted like that about 3 minutes and i was lucky and got to the camera in time to get the 'fire sky'

    Smile No door, but there is a light

    Had to go to the big city today, so managed to stop off at Scbster on the way back and check out that balcony with a zoom lens....



    or closer



    Nope, it's not any clearer what it is for.

    I asked the question ... apparently the sheeting there is removable and used as some sort of inspection hatch for whatever is behind it.

    Tuggy you've ruined the vision that was forming in what is loosely referred to a 'my brain'.

    The balcony was put there for Tuggy to perform her famous Juliet speech to an adoring Romeo below. I don't know who would be playing Romeo perhaps you would share your preference with us Tuggy.
    Just when you think everythings fine, life slaps you in the face.

    I am going to have to make the effort and come down to Scrabster to do some shots in the dark. The ones that you guys have come up with are really impressive. I don't have a 'sunny cross' or 'star' filter, but I'm sure a few fingers of frost on my lens should make the lights twinkle.

    Somehow, the icehouse looks better in the dark.
