A summer evening and harvesters work late into the evening to remove the crops from the fields, Gate removal is essential to allow equipment to work the fields unimpeded, I prefer the image large.

A sheltered bench beside the inlet and looking towards the harbour at the Isle of Whithorn, Wigtownshire, The feint landmass on the horizon and across the Solway Firth is the Isle of Man HBM and a good week to all.

A beautiful day turned into an atmospheric late afternoon in Portpatrick which is located on the west coast of the Rhins of Galloway It was also the principal port for goods and mail traffic to Ireland from the 17th century Large for detail HBM and a great week

At the southern extremity of the Mull of Galloway are the remains of a once sturdy wall, A large view should reveal the Isle of Man and possibly the Lake District National Park beyond that. This is also the point where the Irish Sea, the North Channel and the Solway Firth meet, causing some currants and at times turbulent seas.

Overlooking the Solway Firth and no safety net so it's not a bench for vertio sufferers, Isle of Whithorn, Dumfries and Galloway. A rather tenuous music link, Jimmy Cliff www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrHxhQPOO2c HBM and a good safe week
