Welcome.
Hallo. This site is essentially a gallery of some of our photographs from Scotland, and includes the Orkney Islands. Orkney, for those that don't know, is a group of islands six miles across the Pentland Firth from Caithness in north east Scotland. Some of the photographs were taken up to twenty or so years ago, others are more recent, so they have "progressed" from traditional SLR film cameras to digital; Canon DSLR's, Panasonic Bridge camera, Olympus compact and underwater, and JVC video camera, and a mini video camera, occasionally coupled to a Sky-Watcher Explorer telescope. Any (minimal) editing is performed using Adobe Photoshop CS4 and/or Adobe Lightroom/Canon DPP. Hutch the Dog isn't all that interested in photography (unless they're pictures of him!), because his paws are too large for the buttons, so all the photographs were taken by myself, my wife, or our granddaughter (19), whose occasional "jokes" are featured as well, unfortunately. Sorry!
Some of you may have noticed (and some of you may have not) a link to our dogs website on the left. And on the right. Yes, I know, daft aren't we (barking, in fact)... Hutch is an Old English Mastiff, who was 8 years (not 8 months Hutch!) young on 24th November, two days after my own birthday! There's a list of dog friendly Pubs, Hotels and Bed and Breakfasts (in Scotland), as well as photographs and video currently on his site. There are also links on the left to some photographs; of Scotland, Orkney, Egypt and Cambodia.
It is with regret that I have decided not to upload the crossword solutions from now on. The original idea was to attract visitors to the other websites advertised; that was not happening. Visitors peaked on a Sunday and Monday, grabbing the solutions after a few seconds, and then leaving. It is not worth my time, or expense. There are at least two other websites offering the Mail and Express crossword solutions. Good luck.
Thankyou
for visiting our website. We hope that you like our photographs, or even the "Joke".
