@lokigwyn celui-ci est magnifique! Quelle riche idée que de l’illustrer avec l’ami Bernard! #Ecologie #Ecology #Oiseaux #Birds #Conservation #Orkneys #Scotland

Une belle addition à ma collection après nos pérégrinations dans les îles Orcades.

A fine addition to my collection after our peregrinations in the Orkney Islands. #Ecologie #Ecology #Oiseaux #Birds #Conservation #Orkneys #Scotland

Une salle d’embarquement toute cosy et une bibliothèque pour prendre un bouquin au prix minimum faramineux de 50 pences pour une donation à une œuvre. On est très loin de Doha or Heathrow et c’est bien!

A cosy onboarding room and a library where you can pick up a book at the astronomical minimum price of 50 pence for a donation to a charity... It's a far cry from Doha or Heathrow and that's a good thing!

My heart breaks watching the latest video from Hamish Auskerry … #orkneys #auskerry #scotland #seasonschange #islandlife youtu.be/eRQzzH7-2mM?...

It's time for someone else to ...

Though the story is not particularly original, terrific Ronan and the stunning Orkneys make it worth watching.

At Skara Brae, Orkney #neolithic #orkneys

Ontdekking!
voor mij dan😉 😅

Hoe denk je dat dit eiland z’n/d’r naam gekregen heeft?
Wie heeft dat wanneer bedacht?
Ergens op de grens van de Noordzee en de Atlantische oceaan? 🌍
Waar lijkt ’t woord op? Achter- of voortuin?
Was ’t ’n grapje of serieus v.d. kapitein?
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Would be cool if this was finally the beginning of the end:

#Brexit #Orkneys

#Orkneys to look at proposals to become territory of Norway. "We're failed by both British and Scottish governments" and "we can't go on as we are".

Das war es mit den #Orkneys: Stromnes haben wir in erster Linie von der Fähre aus gesehen, die diesmal recht nah am Old Man of Hoy vorbei fuhr. Davon abgesehen war es eine recht ruhige Überfahrt.

Etwas weiter Richtung Südspitze der #Orkneys: Die Italian Chapel, die im 2. Weltkrieg in einer Wellblech-Baracke entstand. Die Wände sind nur bemalt, nicht gefliest!
