At the Bay of Skaill

I was up at Skara Brae today. This couple walked along the beach into the teeth of the steadily increasing wind, and the sand was obviously scouring them to the point that the lady had to pick up and protect their dog. I am not sure if focus was as soft as it looks or if it is the amount of sand in the air that softens the whole image. If you look at the waves in the top left corner you can see how soft it all is. The extra shot is of a fireplace tile in Skaill House.
