HBM ~ Peace at Machrihanish

HBM ~  Peace at Machrihanish
As Ukraine is hammered relentlessly by bigger and bigger bombs we try to relax here for a while watching the seals.
We are making a walk along the shores to a place full of rocks and boulders pounded by the Atlantic. The building in front of us is actually the ‘Marine Environmental Research Laboratory’ run by the Institute of Agriculture, University of Stirling. To the right is the Machrihanish Seabird/Wildlife Observatory and it is from that we see the blue and yellow flag of Ukraine proudly flying high with our support.

Enjoy full size and enjoy your week in safety.

ps the seals are on the rocks in the foreground plus the white baby seal.

This is a walk further past the village. Seals are first seen just at the edge of the village near the small bus terminus. Thanks for enjoying this shared village memory.

HBM, enjoy the day. Herb

Good to see the Ukranian flag here. I've yet to see one here in Spain (but maybe that's because I don't get out much!)

Herb Riddle club has replied to Andy Rodker club
I would imagine that Ukraine has more supporters in in Britain than most places but flying the flag is one thing, going to fight is another. I think Spain would consider itself well out of everything.

HBM, enjoy the week.

A wild looking place Herb.............and I guess it's a way off the usual tourist trail. I expect it takes a battering from the wind and waves occasionally!

Great to see the seals chilling out on the sands!

Have an enjoyable week my friend.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
It did feel somewhat wild here Keith and as you say a good way from anywhere but its local town of Campbeltown. Took a lot of the seals so will post some more at some point.

Enjoy your week too. Herb

Krieg und Krieg scheint nicht das selbe zu sein. Viele Kriege haben weniger Aufmerksamkeit, bei mindestens dem selben Leid erzielt. Nichts desto trotz, hoffen wir auf ein baldiges Ende.
