Loch Indaal
Apologies for the lack of entries here, I'm very busy both at work and at home. Not complaining though, better busy than bored. Still working my way through more than 300 pictures I took on the day of my walk in the north east of Islay. Quite difficult to decide which ones to use and also quite a few panoramas to try if they work out. I had almost forgotten about them, but there are also pictures for a nice evening view over Loch Indaal from Port Charlotte. Two panoramas to choose from and possibly turn into a QTVR panorama:
The first one is slightly further back standing on the pier, it's the one I like better and will most likely use. It also seems to align best (the pictures were taken without a tripod).
The second is from the end of the pier, unfortunately the images don't align as well, so I probably won't use this version. I also think not having anything in the foreground makes it look more boring.
At this size both might not look that exciting anyway, they look much more impressive as a QTVR panorama. At least I think so. They might not mean much to someone not familiar with Islay, I just love the view over to The Oa, up to Bowmore and on a clear day the Paps of Jura on the horizon in the north east. The huge wide open space. When I'm on Islay I walk down to the pier almost every evening (weather permitting) for at least a few minutes.
Plan is to complete this panorama as well as the walking in the north east of Islay over the next few days. You'll read it here once they're done. In other news:
- I just baked some bread, looks like it has turned out well.
- According to BT Wendling in Norfolk is now on Islay. Not sure why they complain though, obviously Islay is a very nice place. Even though it isn't in north-west Scotland as the report claims.
- It's very long article and I haven't read all of it yet, but want to do when I find the time: The parable of the last sheep. According to it sheep farming is in serious decline in Scotland and might almost die out in a few years if it continues at the current rate.
- Celtic 2-0 Rangers. OK, it's 'only' CIS Insurance Cup, but still Strachan's first Old Firm win.
That's enough, off for a warm bath and a good night's sleep. Another busy day ahead tomorrow.
