Hi all, here is a small selection of my photo's from my long weekend in Caithness and Orkney.
I was trying my hand at some more artistic photo's seeing as I was using my new camera 
At the moment the complete set of my photo's are on my Facebook page, I'll hopefully get them on Bebo in th next couple of days.
Help! I'm trapped in the Earls Palace in Kirkwall!

You've taken some really great shots here, I didn't read your opening blurb and was looking at them thinking 'there are some arty shots here, wonder if Siouxievamp has been on a photography course'. You achieved your arty objective, clearly.
Love the arty shots and of course the shots of the sea with the sunlight glistening
Hurrah for trips out and lots of photos to share.

Lovely photos Siouxsie. I especially like the "through the window" ones. Kinda like glimpsing into another world.
Very nice seascapes as well. I'm impressed you seem to have a natural talent for taking excellent pics.
I think you should definately go on a photography course as you obviously have a great eye for a good picture.

I thoroughly agree with the other comments Siousxie - these are impressive and very lovely photos, thanks for sharing these  Like Kabaal, I really like the views 'through the windows'. And the start of sunset and leaving Burwick take my breath away. You certainly have a gift for this
