This photo is almost unreal but even to the untrained eye we can see how these gorges were ground oot by the ice age.
Very good photo Karl give us some more of the same.

I live in Melbourne and have printed this photo at the request of my girlfriend who is a professional artist (painter) and will use this shot as inspiration!

John, the fettes.com/orkney website has quite a few pages on the Hoy landscape and glaciers. John Bremner's book has a description of a polished stone talisman found in a cave up on the Dwarfie Hamars. Any climbing archaeologists out there?
