In the air

January has been a mostly pleasant month, with some exceptional calm and cold days.   The island is still in Level 3 whilst the mainland is in Level 4, effectively full lockdown.   Sadly all our mainland guests have had to cancel, but we are allowed island guests and it has been lovely hosting a few locals! 

I have been able to get the drone up in the air a few times. 


Feeding the sheep on the Point


A trip down to Lochbuie to photograph some stone sheep fanks from the air for the small exhibition I am taking part in in March at An Tobar.  This is Lochbuie from above Laggan.

I had a job using the drone at Ulva Ferry to film the arrival and unloading of a modular house which is prebuilt in a factory and delivered on site in 5 pieces.  There are a total of 4 houses being built for the Mull and Iona Community Trust.  They are going to be economic to heat and affordable to rent houses for local families.  With wonderful views!
