Framed Landscape

I think I've framed this shot nicely. A walk up Wideford Hill (and cycle down). pretty sunny on the way up but it clouded over and got chilly in the breeze, with some hail. Good exercise getting up there, and lots of people (for Orkney) on footpaths and roads. Not a lot birdwise- about 30 ravens circling overhead with a merlin, I think, above them, meadow pipits, redshank, heard a red grouse. A couple of brown hares too though. There are a lot of telecom towers on the hill and structures from the war too. The frame in the shot was in one of those. When I got home I saw on FB that a friend had been on the next hill along and got video of a white-tailed eagle!
