What I did during the lockdown
Jun. 3rd, 2020 10:57 amI have not found time hanging heavy on my hands; often I reach the end of a day wondering just where it has gone. I have acquired no new skills, learned no new languages, accomplished no major works. But I have finished sorting the photos from last summer's trip to Shetland, and posted them to Flickr: in celebration of which, a stroll around Lerwick, the capital of the islands. This isn't the full tourist guide, just a few pictures, starting with something that's new since our last visit:
It's called 'Da Lightaome Buoy, and I rather like it. The handsome buiding behind it is the Old Tollbooth (now the Lifeboat Station).
( More pictures! )
Goodbye, Shetland. Where next? There are many more folders of half-sorted photos on my hard disk - and revisiting them is the nearest to a holiday I expect to come this year. Is this too gloomy a view? Possibly. The more optimistic the official announcements, the more pessimistic I become. But at least I can enjoy my photos...
