Something for the Weekend - Part 230 - Northern Isles

[davescm]

Hi,

Thanks to all who took part in the previous 'Hippity Hop' challenge, and in particular to @jane-e for stepping in at very short notice and setting an excellent challenge image.

This week, we are off to the North Coast of Scotland looking out from John O'Groats harbour,  toward Pentland Firth and the island of Stroma. The weather is not as nice as in Jane's last challenge, but it was a summer's day! There is not much happening in the harbour or the firth, or is there...?

The “rules”:

• Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.
• Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc.
• Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum “regulars”.
• There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off your skills, or bring a bit of humor and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!
• The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only.

To download the starter image, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).

When posting back your image — please use the blue reply button in this first post and use the 'Insert Photos' icon at the top of the reply box. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

Have fun!

That whale is just showing off, jumping backwards over the pier!

You spotted it too? I was like that Orca's throwing down some moves!

Haha - you didn't keep much of the original - just the foreground water. Welcome to SFTW Yss12345.

Palm Beach?

Looks like something from Sweden or Norway. Love the boating house at the end.

[Ashraful_Islam]

Thanks. I wanted to create a lovely evening. 

[davescm]

It looks like we have gone North West to Scandinavia, I like it.

Judging from the size of the people though, I think the house must be part of a crazy golf course on the pier! 🙂

Thanks. It's a weekend playhouse for kids on the pier! 😊

Oh, okay

Tsunami!

[AlanGilbertson]

Nice. Where's the surfer, JR? Gotta have a surfer with a wave like that! 😊

[davescm]

The surfer will be inside the tube Alan, about to pop out of the end, or get seriously rinsed!

Here comes the rain again, falling on head like a memory...

[fbeaume]

I went the opposite way (see below)...Well done! 

[davescm]

Proper highlands weather there Trevor. I have been to the North coast in all weathers, sunshine, rain, dull and grey, sometimes all on the same day. I love the variation. 🙂
