CAN YOU SEE WHATS MISSING ? by markp

CAN YOU SEE WHATS MISSING ?

Part of the west coast of Westray, in the Orkney's looking south back to Eday in the distance. This is just a quick iPhone shot, but it shows a typical landscape from up here. There are some fabulous long sandy beaches up here as well, but something is missing. Something so common, most of us would see everyday.

But not up here.

Any ideas ?


More from the Orkney's here.....

@Cherrill Oh very good Cherrill, no thats not it, but it is very quiet and peaceful up there and very easy to get away from other people.

And to prove that very point there arn't as you say any people in this shot.

But there is something else missing.

@amfrumbiddivurd Well done Andy, yes, I am not sure if they are totally missing from Westray or Papa Westray but I can't remember seeing any trees or large bushes up here.

They are also very sparse over the rest of the Orkney's too.

@Cherrill @mimiducky @pamknowler @elisasaeter

@milaniet Yes thats a very good way of putting it Milanie, if you gain a little bit of height, on a clear day you can see a long, long way.
