Sand in my shoes

Sometimes you feel the need to chill out, to hear nothing but the cries of the birds on the seashore. So off to Marwick Bay we go so i can play with the camera and chill out for half an hour. Marwick was somewhere i had never been and it is a lovely place. Not a whole lot to say really, i spent most of my time looking through a view finder....











And these are some pics from a dive on the Rodean which lies in Longhope bay. This was the first time i got my nice new camera in with me on a dive, so not many pics yet....

Very nice PHOTOS, DoaD!

Barney from Swithiod pedantic again


Love the pix, and fascinated by the underwater ones.

Ruthodanort from Unst


These are great pics, DoaD. What are those clear tube-y things in the third underwater pic?

Jill from EK


DoaD, You have so many talents, I'm jealous.

CVBruce from CA, USA


Jill they are lightbulb seasquirts. The tubes are around 1.5cm long and they tend to occur in patches over the wrecks. I'm a bit new with the camera so seem to have focussed on things that dont move!

Love the Starfish photo !! You certainly have an eye for interesting shots. Fabulous !!

Squidgy the Otter from Isle of Coll


VERY nice. Thank you.

mjc from NM,USA


Is that Nessie I see in one of your pics - having a wee break in Longhope Bay to escape all the tourists scouring Loch Ness ?

Duncan from Brum


Fantastic photos DoaD, especially the underwater ones. We hardly ever get a chance to see photos like these.

Carol from IBHQ


I like the giant wulk...it would make a meal...

Would it suprise anyone to know that our ultimate ancestors among the invertebrates are the sea squirts? No, I thought not. But they are. Passing resemblance to any ones uncle?

Barney from Swithiod sporadically scientific


Quite like someone's brother...
