Finally finished a rather challenging seascape of a distant view of the Old Man of Hoy from Mainland Orkney. It was a tangerine sky under deeply bruised skies and the Old Man was perfectly silhouetted, set apart from the cliffs of Hoy. My vantage point was from the aptly named Cauldrus across agitated seas. This was view that inspired my Orkney Stories 5 video poem.
Good news also is my poem form the same Orkney series - Stenness Stones - was awarded commended in the Scottish Federation of Writers Vernal Equinox Competition
