Harris workshop, day 5, more decrepitude, this time a boat

Image
After lunch on day 5 we drove from Scalpay round to North Harris and passed a rather lovely rotting boat on the bank of Loch Leosavay. It was lying next to an equally abandoned shed and curiously next to an iron safe, bound with string. There were beautiful patterns of rust on the boat. While we were there we were observed by a rather curious sheep.

Wales Day 3 - across to Aberystwyth

Image
After a good night we loaded up the van and drove across the mountain road to Aberystwyth.On the way we passed an abandoned mine under the mountain which was extremely photogenic. I processed the pictures using Arkham, one of the grunge presets in Perfect Photo Suite 7 Effects. Once in Aberystwyth we had a look around the town then went across to the harbour for the maiden voyage of the new kayak which I have christened Abba, after the town and the group which Alan detests. (Also with a passing nod to Young Frankenstein where the stolen brain is from a pot marked AB Normal). The pier has also been processed using Perfect Photo. We stayed the night in a little site away from the town called Pantamawr Farm. On the jetty Aberystwyth Lunch on the headland Paddle surfer offshore
