<p>Commentary. <br />
 <br />
<br />
No-one talks of fjords in Scotland. <br />
Here, they are known as sea-lochs. <br />
There could be regarded as up to fourteen “fjords” in Scotland and two or three former fjords, cut off from the sea since previous Ice Ages. <br />
Some are a mere three miles long, several 15-20 miles long<br />
and one, Loch Fyne, up to fifty miles long. <br />
Loch Leven is one such fjord or sea-loch. <br />
It is sumptuously beautiful, colourful, ancient and wooded. <br />
All the sea-lochs are sufficiently varied to deserve <br />
multiple visits and endless awe and wonder. <br />
Autumn often enriches the colour, textures and tones <br />
of such sea-lochs as Leven, making it spectacularly impressive. <br />
The shapely mountains often reflect in its calm waters <br />
and add a gleaming symmetry to a superb landscape.</p>

<p>It's warm inside.<br />
<br />
This was taken through a double glazed window at the front of my house. <br />
<br />
I watched the wind whip the snowflakes on their merry downward dance and the ground gradually turn whiter. My coffee and house were warm and I knew where I was staying.</p>

A boat has been turned on end and a seat within makes a quirky shelter overlooking Old Town Bay. It's situated close to Old Town Church and is often used as a prop for Bride and Groom wedding shots.</p>

<p>The Channel Islands are a very pleasant and civilised place to visit, but some of the smaller islands are not as well known as Jersey or Guernsey. Sark is one of the small ones, and for this poster the only thing that we knew about it was that once upon a time the fastest ship in the world was named after it!<br />
<br />
That wee tunnel must have been a big project at the time of its cutting!<br />
