30 Aug. - Kirkwall

 Image: Kirkjuvagr Gin in the making, Orkney Distilling, Kirkwall

Spirited locals making local spirits.

Learning crafts.
Tasting draughts.

Hardy grain - Bere barley.
Graceful flower - Angelica.

Lower skies today.
Some spots of rain.
Always the wind.
Turbines large + small.
Always in view.
Turning slow + fast.

The harbour filled.
Ferry + fish fleet (Kraken).
Smell of diesel + sea catch.
Then queues for fish + chips.
Smell of hot fat + vinegar.

Notes: A day filled with whisky and gin distillery tours and tastings. Heaven!
