Lyness and Scapa Flow. The view looks down from a hillside in sunshine over a stand of trees towards a scattered settlement on the near shore of a body of water. An oil tank is prominent in the centre of the settlement. There are a number of islands in the body of water, with more oil tanks visible on one of them.

The view east from the slopes of Wee Fea on the island of Hoy in Orkney, taking in Lyness and, beyond it, Scapa Flow and the islands of Fara and Flotta. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

A Meadow Pipit atop a fencepost, it's streaky light brown plumage in sharp focus against a blurred-out grassy green background. It is standing side-on facing the viewer's left, and its dark brown left eye is catching the sunlight.

"Pipped to the Post"

Meadow Pipit at #Lyness, #Hoy, #Orkney.
