65.Guiding Lights Part One


The entrance to Johnshaven harbour has rocks on either side, so there's little room for error as boats come in. 

In order to guide boats in through the narrow channel, there are two lights.  This red one is at the harbour, and there's a green one directly above it on a higher road.  To travel safely through the channel, boats must line up the red and green lights.  Simple but effective.

64. Spot the church


This is another one taken by my daughter, Kirsty, on the school snapping morning.  I'm amazed that you can see St Cyrus church so clearly on the horizon - it must be about 4 miles away and it wasn't exactly a clear, bright and sunny morning.

63. Cormorants


This is one of the photos taken by the children on Thursday (my daughter actually, which is how I have access to it.)  A great shot of cormorants drying their wings in the wind.  A few seconds before this was taken the whole row of birds were doing it - typical!

62. Taking photos


As a result of this blog, I was asked to take a group of children from Johnshaven Primary School out to take photos of the village yesterday. 

The Women's Lifeboat Guild are celebrating their 60th anniversary this year, and have asked the school to produce village related artwork.  The photos we took will be used for this along with drawings and paintings that the children are doing in school.

61. Happy Shopday to me!


It's about time I included a photo of Starfish Studio, and today's the day as it's my shop's second birthday - whoop whoop!!

60. Interesting house


One of the more interesting houses in the village.  I believe this was once a church (one of many).
