Orkney Islands: South Ronaldsay, Burray, Mainland

Popular beach near Stromness. Small village Two large hills on Hoy. Graemsay island is on the right. Rain squall is moving in for a short stay. Fishing boats Stromness harbor and ferry jetty. Ferry goes to Scrabster. Sun is shining brightly for our lunch stop. Ours is the blue bus. Lee and I had a drink at a cafe across the street. They take fire safety very, very seriously here. Every place we stayed had a published assembly point. Most of the litter bins we saw were this color scheme. Here the planters also were this scheme. We didn't see this "tourist ride" until the bus was leaving or we would have taken a ride pulled by Friesian horses. This community is older than the pyramids, Stonehenge, and...... This site was found after a storm which pulled the sand off the top. It is right on the Atlantic Ocean. Picture is deceptive - looks warm and sunny - it was very windy and very cold!! Overlooking several of the houses.
