Another memory from the unusual snowy return journey from Islay in early December 2023. The next morning I went for a winter wonderland walk in the area, among other things I noticed these geese sitting in a snow covered field with the fence stretching into the distance. I quite like the monochrome colours in this view.

Something a bit different, a memory from an unusual return journey from Islay at the start of December 2023. Driving on the M6 through Cumbria it started to snow quite heavily, after a treacherous drive I safely arrived at the service station hotel where I was staying for the night. After taking my luggage out of the car I couldn’t resist the pun and had to build a Mini snowman on my Mini Clubman. Hope you like it.

Don’t know its name or what kind of ship it is, may be some kind of fishing vessel? Any pointers welcome, please leave them in the comments or send me a message. Spotted from the ferry during a crossing from Islay in late April 2023.
