The final part of our short journey to Orkney takes us into the approaches to Stromness. These sheltered waters are quiet now, but during both World Wars they must have been very busy. Scapa Flow was an important naval base and there would have been constant movement of ships out to the Atlantic and back. The old concrete bunkers and gun-emplacements can still be seen lining the shore.

Eye candy's (ogen snoep) all of them!!
It is consistently of high quality... and the quality of "serenity and spaciousness" that Rene mentioned... is especially a constant.
I always marvel at the seeming simplicity... yet compexity of your use of colour and creation of space. A marvellous piece to join your collection of fine art Keith!
Good Painting!
Warmest regards,
Bruce
All the best,
Keith
Yes the cliffs are on the other side of the hills. This side is more sheltered from the weather.
What I should probably have said is that the quality of your posted works selectively reflect your capabilities... and your pride in what you do!
I also forgot to mention that I much enjoyed the "trip" idea... felt that I was along with you as guide! Nice!
Good Painting!
Warmest regards,
Bruce
