Orkney sunsets




Ok so the focus of these photos is the sky, not the sea, but they are so beautiful, i couldnt not post them! Might help to give you more of an idea how stunning Orkney really is. The top sunset is from Marks parents garden, in Orphir. They have an amazing view over Stromness and the hills of hoy. The middle photo is of Hoy. Its quite possibly one of my favourite photos ever! I love the colours, and how it almost looks like a watercolour painting rather than a photo. The mist, and the different lilac and grey shades give a really mystical feeling. Want to use this in my project. The bottom photo was taken at a party at my friend Sudd's house. Was sitting on an armchair next to the window, and had to stop chatting to take the picture. Can you imagine getting views like this ta parties every weekend?! The view from his house is of the Kirkwall harbour and marina, with Wideford hill in the distance. Oh yeah, thought i should mention, none of the pictures i have posted in this blog have been changed in photoshop at all (normally i fiddle around with the exposure and colour balance), so these are the real colours!
