Stanley

Last weekend I went to Stanley...

 The Nut

Got to walk on the beach Friday night...

Tatlows Beach/Sawyer Bay

And watch the sunset...

Sunset over Green Hills

Early Saturday morning before sunrise I took a walk around to the small fishing harbour on the other side of The Nut...

 

One of the boats was up on slips...

Some of the houses under the Nut that I walked past on my way back to the beach...

The tide was quite high...

And I got to watch the sun come up behind The Nut...

I encountered some locals...alive...

 seagulls

 plovers

And dead...

 crab

 fish (just in case your weren't sure :))

 fairy penguin

starfish

 

  

I collected 4 garbage  bags of seaweed to put on the garden from West Beach at Stanley...

Saw an eagle...

Wedge-tailed or Sea (wasn't close enough to tell)

On my way back from collecting the seaweed I drove past historic Highfield House...

And some of the resident sheep...

And took this shot from the lookout...

Bye Stanley!!!

 

I'll be back...
