We got here in bright sunshine, spent some time looking around and then returned to the car. Without warning there was the fiercest rainstorm you can imagine. With great force it came down. But the gods were with us – we had made it back just in time.
Under a brooding sky, rain moved off and left us at stennes with brilliant sunshine.
In Awe.

I cannot describe my excitement at seeing Sundown at Stennes. I have been to stacks of sites, many I want to re-visit, but none so much as this place.
Less than 24 hours later, I would drop my digital camera and spend the rest of the week unable to capture the fantastic sights and sites of the Orkneys.
A truely wondrous place
This is one of my “local” sites. a place of peace hidden in the wood. It is Weathering fast – I hope this pic does it justice

If you look up from the Hurlers, towering in the near distance, you will see the hill that houses The Cheesewring. Spectacular is not the word. Precarious is the feeling, Each of the stone stacks feels as if it could topple at any time.
More Beautiful than any man could create.
To find that this still exists right in the middle of town is pretty remarkable. Me and Mick spent a sunny September hour in the late afternoon, watching the locals go by.
Great Open air vanue :-)
The start of a long, hot, sunburning trek of a day. Sitting with the sheepinthe Hellstone.
The fiftysomethings never even ventured over the brow of the hill to visit the Longstone – missed out.
We arrived at the same time as a herd of fiftysomethings on a tour. so we sat around until they cleared off.
Interesting to think what the Y avenues were for. A convergence of paths for marraige perhaps?
How Sad Are We? But it had to be done! Sundown was fast approaching and the mood was right. Realise now we were totally wrong with the setup, but what the hell – it kept us out of mischief

Blink and you’ve missed it. Lying low by the side of the road, Tregiffian lies in wait for the slower paced traveller. This is well worth a look, close by the merry Maidens – the hollowed stone is worthy of inspection
Our dogy map reading took us straight to this place for a change – fantastic views
A hellish long trek, but, wow – fantastic, hope the pic does it justice
