Grutness Cairn

A bitterly cold day but if you wear enough layers the "feels like" temperature of - 4°c it's not too bad.

Looking beyond the cairn there are a number of headlands visible finishing up with the Island of Noss which will be approximately 25 miles north.

Interesting shot, it looks chilly. I love the wrought sea.

Great capture of the waves and stone. I had to laugh though - the “feels like” temperature here today is -21C. I would give a lot for -4 right now!

Great clarity and color, really nice

Your picture makes me think of the people who built the cairn. They probably looked at exactly the same wilderness scene many centuries ago.

@etienne yes I have those thoughts a lot about what local people must have seen and thought from years ago.

@ljmanning I can imagine. We rarely get a minus feels like temperature even though we are probably much further north than yourself. I have a friend who visits his sister in Medicine Hat quite regularly in the winter and he’s says that although it is very cold it has a drier feel to it than our “really” cold days.
