Stromness

April 16, 2014


I loved Stromness.
For its colours, its houses, its solitude, its beauty, its angularity, its friendliness, its character, its light, its windows.





It is a litte town on the other side of Orkneys Mainland. We visited on an early Wednesday afternoon and it was so quite and almost silent that it reminded me a bit of the fairy tale of sleeping beauty where the whole kingdom falls suddenly into a deep sleep. It was magical and beautiful.
