Big Graves? And Slabs And Slabs And Slabs.......

Before I talk about today's Blip, I want to tell you about something that happened late yesterday after I had blipped.

We walked back from our second visit to the cliffs and birds next to Kitchener's Memorial, and I found a phone in the grass. I now had to decide what to do with it - leave it on a wall in case the owner returns, take it to the police, or what? I walked back but there were no contact details, and I couldn't open the phone.

Parked very close to our van was a camper, and I went to ask if they were staying or not, so I would move the van if needed.  I'd spoken to this couple as we walked up and they walked down the hill. They were going (phew) and I chatted to this man about his solar panel.  I asked if he minded if I took a photo of it - fine he said.

I put my hand in my pocket to find my phone, but picked out the one I had just found. I laughed and said I'd just found this and he instantly said it was his phone!
He opened the phone and it was cleary his. He hadn't realised he'd dropped it.

I love the coincidence but also the number of what ifs involved. If I'd not spoken to him or if I'd got my own phone out first.....
We were both so pleased for different reasons of course.

Back to today's Blip. The main is not of some enormous graves exposed by erosion. They are the shape of boot hulls for when the fishermen dragged them up from the beach in winter. The nearby hut was used by them.

The extra is of part of the rocky coast. It feels more like a massive pile of stone paving slabs. The beds and the cracks are so regular, and you can see why people on Orkney have used this stone since Neolithic times.
