Shining a Light on the Landscape - Outer Hebrides

Peter was in his favourite seat, camera primed, as he travelled to work on the 11C Outer Circle. His vigilance was rewarded in Linden Road when an ex-West Bromwich Metro-Cammell bodied Daimler CVG6 approached. The luck continued as the road was blocked by a dustcart making both buses slow down (this was pre-digital and just firing away knowing it would be sharp and correctly exposed did not happen with film). 255 TEA was in WMPTE livery and carried the fleet number 255H.
To the right are the sports grounds belonging to Cadburys and to the left some of the well built houses overseen by the Bournville Village Trust, beyond them is Bournville Park. Also of interest is the old way of collecting garbage, the dustbin was shouldered by the bin men and dumped into the open back of the wagon inside which was a large ram which could scoop the garbage away from the 'drop zone' and compact it at the front of the body, thus saving many trips to the tip'

I just canĀ“t get enough of them :)
(Who spots the fourth one?)
A playful group of young Soay sheep on Hirta, main island of St. Kilda archipelago.
The Soay sheep is an ancient breed, believed to be remnants of the earliest sheep kept in Europe in the Neolithic Era, and are small, short-tailed, usually brown with white bellies, and have naturally moulting fleeces. Due to their isolation they kept their neolithic gene material. Besides being ear-tagged and counted on a regular basis the sheep live completely independent from humans and are all over the place.
In June I had the privilege to spend some days camping on St. Kilda, a remote archipelago about 64 km north west of North Uig (Outer Hebridies) in the Atlantic Ocean. The main reason for this stay, observing puffins was not that successful, but St. Kilda offers a lot of other things both for the Wildlife and archeological and historical interested visitor. Having an adventurous mind and a high tolerance level for discomfort and wet, soaky and dirty personal belongings does not hurt either. However, it was a lifetime experience I am not wanting to miss.

Bodie Island Light
Outer Banks
Dare County, North Carolina
Bodie (pronounced like "body") Island Lighthouse, a few miles north of Oregon Inlet, is in the middle position among the three major lighthouses on North Carolina's Outer Banks; Currituck Beach is the farthest north, and Cape Hatteras is the most southerly. The Outer Banks Photography Workshop (Randall Sanger Photography & John Deas Photography) visited all three, beginning with this one on the first evening. The few clouds hugged the horizon and did not provide a remarkable display of color, but the warm sunlight and soft orange of the clouds nonetheless were nice. (Given the wind we had, mosquitos were surprisingly abundant.)
The lighthouse tower is the third at this site. The first (1848) was built on a poor foundation because of U.S. Treasury skimping and soon needed replacement. The second (1859) tower was a casualty of the American Civil War, blown up by Confederate troops to keep it from aiding the Union Navy. The current brick tower (built 1870-72, soon after Cape Hatteras light) is topped by a cast iron lantern room with a 1st-order Fresnel lens. Sources differ on some points, such as year the light was automated (1931 vs. 1954), height of lighthouse (150, 156, 163, and 165 feet); per www.outer-banks.com/lights/nbodie.cfm, it is 150 feet to the top of the tower, 165 feet to the top of the lantern room, and 156 feet the from ground to the focal plane. Bodie Island light is an active aid to navigation. The property was transferred from the Coast Guard to the National Park Service in 2000; the double keepers' house, built in 1893, is now a visitor center. Bodie Island Light Station was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003 (03000607).

On this day at 8:00 pm, the beach would close due to the impending presence of endangered piping plover chicks. Our beach pass arrived in the mail that same morning. Of course we had to use it.
It was cold and very windy, but it was beautiful out there.
