    Default A Day of Weather

    Some photographs from a quick walk along Thurso beach at mid-day today.

    Looking upriver from Thurso Harbour.

    And finally, the Hamnavoe leaving the shelter of Thurso Bay, could have done with a longer lens here, but was traveling light, so I have posted this as a large image.

    You were braver than me, I've only been as far as the bird table.
    Great shot of The Hamnavoe, would n't have wanted to be on her though.

    You're braver than me, a quick walk to Bews for Christmas cards was all I could manage.

    I'm glad I wasn't on the ferry today, I think you'd need a good waterproof sou'wester to keep that wave off you.

    I went home and consoled myself with looking at photos I took earlier in the year, then there were just a few ice flows coming down the Thurso River and even the Cormorant found it hard to dry it's wings in the snow!

    Here is a photo of a Shag taken at Sarclet, you can compare the difference between the 2 birds.
