Mull Head in Deerness, is a dramatic and compelling coastline situated on the north west of the Main Island of Orkney. Coastal sandstone plummets into the sea, scattered and broken by erosion.
At one point along the coastal route you can see a 360 degree view that takes in the North Sea towards Norway, the Northern Orkney Isles and the Linksness coast on the Main Island. It really is a breath-taking experience to perceive such a vast panorama at once evoking tranquility and inspiring awe.
The experience is not dissimilar to a cyclorama in a theatre giving an impression of a 360 degree landscape. Victorian art has also communicated similar ideas exhibiting paintings of a landscape in a circular room or hides that have been developed in rural areas that allow for 360 degree views.
The "Brough of Deerness" has a fascinating natural architecture where the sea has eroded the coastline to the point where a small outcrop of rock stands apart from the coast. There are also deep inlets carved out by the sea, such as "The Gloup", with steep walls and inhabited by a myriad of bird species.

At the top of the picture we can see the feature which lends its name to this place which is a Blow Hole which sometimes can create a strange sound as the sea gets blown back in the this former / collapsed sea cave squeezing the air back inwards

Mais on peut chercher un petit poisson à partager quand même !
Dry stone walls make excellent nesting sites for starlings. We could hear the young ones inside the wall, calling for their parents to come and feed them, but we could not see them down in the cracks between the stones. The returning parents made sure that we were well out of the way before bringing in the food. Gloup, in the far north-west of the island of Yell, Shetland. D800_40701.NEF.

Mardi 22 Novembre – Avec mon mot d’excuse (je manque une repet de Blue…) et mon billet je prends place à la salle Pleyel. Près pour le voyage, un retour vers le futur, le son, les images, gloups, tout y est. Je n’ai pas vu le spectacle d’origine, mais écouté tant et tant de fois ces morceaux que je connais chaque break, chaque syncope par coeur et le compte y est. Trop bien. Merci et bravo M. Musical Box.
A collapsed sea-cave near Mull Head. The name comes from the Old Norse, gluppa, for a chasm. You can see the sea through it …

This photo has finally made my students on the course "Philosophical Hermeneutics" catch the concept of "understanding-before-understanding" on Heidegger's Sein und Zeit (Being and Time). Or so I hope, gloup... Dept. of Philosophy, University of Seville, Camilo José Cela St. [Sevilla], 25.4.2014, 09:35h.
