Portree Harbor, Isle of Skye. Scotland

if you know me, you know i have always had a thing for the sea.
anything maritime is a friend of mine.
whether it be fish or sailors, the navy or coast guard, whales & sea birds, octopi or coral; it's all my love.
like kitchens, i can never get enough of photographing water, and all its related themes.

in fact, i hope you'll join me in seeing and spreading the word about The End of the Line, a brutally honest film about overfishing the world's oceans and waterways. while i agree it won't be pleasant to see and learn about this devastatingly sad subject, i know it's immeasurably important to be fully aware. we make choices all the time, both intentional and passive, with our money & voices, as it concerns the food we are eating now and the food we are planning to eat in the future.

but until then, feel free to see a tiny sampling of photos i took at Portree's harbor just a few days ago. i took a lot of photographs all around the Isle of Skye, but I am gathering them into specific sets on flickr. for ease-- less of a chance to overwhelm.
thank you for going on the journey with me.
it was an amazing one.

Perhaps my screen name Oceans910 might be a hint, but the Oceans have been a very real part of my life. I've been a member of The Cousteau Society since I was 10 years of age.

I've always believed that as go the seas, so goes the human race. I have a summer home in the beautiful coastal resort of Cape May, New Jersey. Any and all attempts to keep our oceans productive and clean are embraced by me. Be it Greenpeace or the folks producing The End of the Line have my support and I give them kudos for all their efforts.

I love the pictures of Portee. You can smell the sea just looking at them.

I especially love the pictures of the houses.

I went to Skye awhile back and LOVED it so very much. This just made me miss it even more ... Lovely photos.
