Evening notes
Above graphic shows where my viewers on the Tropical Cyclones blog are from. Bit of a mixed bag, really. Today saw 200 viewers, a good total for a day with an active cyclone (Funa) threatening Vanuatu, Fiji and possibly, possibly New Zealand.
Went to Ness (North Lewis) today to photograph the War Memorial there. It was a cold afternoon, but sunny, after the rainy start we had. Taking pictures took only a few minutes, but then I had 40 minutes on my hands before the bus came back. So, I ambled up the road through Cross, Swainbost and Habost. Another two memorials stand along the road to Ness, and I'll have to devise a way to visit them in one afternoon.
A few days ago, it was announced that a young man had taken his own life in the village of Brue, which lies 1½ miles west of Barvas. As the bus passed through, I could not help noticing the hundreds of yards of cars, parked along both sides of the A858 road towards Shawbost from Barvas. Obviously people attending the funeral service; a church is located along that stretch of road.

Oh I love your pie chart! We're a mere 8% from what I see. How sad for the family and friends of the young man. I pray they will not carry a load of guilt regarding this young mans actions. Suicide is always so dificult for those left behind. Linda in cold, gloomy Washington state
ReplyDeleteI know I've said this before, but the towns in your photographs always look they are a movie set or something ~ they are all so pristine and proper. Very nice photos, I see you have starlings over there too!!!

How sad about the person who took there life. Now it's going to be 7 and -1 here in IL. this weekend. I'm not looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your pictures! I love them. Can you find out how much the Swainsbost house is? I'd like to buy it!
ReplyDeleteAnd I think they should hunt down anyone who tells someone to commit suicide in a chat room! Thats horrible.
