Saturday 29 September

The pictures I took through the day. The two pictures marked "Sea mammal rescue practice" include people in wetsuits practising how to deal with seals, dolphins, whales and other large marine creature that come ashore. On Tuesday, a whale was found dead at Garynahine (some 15 miles southwest of Stornoway), and back in May, two dolphins had to be euthanised at Lower Sandwick (just down the road from here). The Coastguard team is trained to handle that; any veterinary intervention naturally involves the local vet.

  2. Once again beautiful pictures.  You've experienced sunset on this Saturday & I haven't even "got my face" on yet...I need to hop to it, so I can go out and get some more of those pink daffodils and a bag or two of potting soil.  Linda in Washington state

  3. Uncanny reflections in picture No 1 Guido.  It looks like Davy Jones's locker is all lit up with nobody in upstairs.  Lol!  This is a good Halloween picture..woooohoooo!
    I loved the sunset with its burnished gold and the lighthouse reflection too.
    How wonderful that you see such natural sea life in your harbours.  Lovely!
