So, I was looking for a ‘moody and misty’ photo in response to someone else’s post. Thought I had one from Orkney but can’t find it 🙁. I did find this though - a grave with a wooden surround. Can’t remember where this was - maybe Deerness? If it’s original it’s lasting well!

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekBforBlue Very blue sunset - photo taken from Chalet le Refuge du Pecheur near Les Escoumins. Following the Route des Baleines but didn't see a single whale 🫤 . Views like this made it so worthwhile though 😊
