Sunny Sunday Evening in Orkney

The Isle of Burray is seen in a view cross the water on Orkney. There is water everywhere on Orkney, either in the form of fresh water lochs or in the form of the sea. More precisely we see the “Isle” of Burray from the A961 along from St Margate’s Hope. Isle is in inverted commas because the Churchill Barriers connect several of the islands, including Burray, to the mainland. To create a panorama, we are shown only an upper mid-section of the whole image, excluding the sky above and larger area of water at the foot of the image.

The evening sun is bathing the water and land in the warmth of its light under a sky that is dominated by the massive Cumulonimbus cloud formation above it. Note the absence of trees and the large number of poles bringing electricity and telephone lines.
