Stromness: sun shaft & storm clouds
The small fishing boat "Mary Ellen," anchored in Stromness Harbour, off the Southend section of the town of Stromness (on the island of Mainland, Orkney, above the north coast of Scotland), as a shaft of sunlight reaches through a heavily overcast sky on a morning in early May that looked almost like evening.
The silhouettes of the low-lying Inner and Outer Holm are in the middle distance (towards the left, or north, and right or south, respectively). In the background, on the other side, fields and a moorland-capped hill of Orphir, which is on the same island, Mainland.
