“Creative Challenge: Look around. Find something that looks like a face, take a picture and share it here. Let’s art it up.”
I put together some pics. from my folders, and thought that ‘Orkney News’ readers might like the idea, and a bit of a tour of Scotland!

Plus…..Non- stoney faces….
We had lunch in the café at the Lews Castle museum, Stornoway, Isle of Lewis and I noticed this ‘face’ in the newly plastered wall.
Folk saw me taking the picture, and came to see why. One lady said it reminded her of the Turin Shroud, a young lad said it was “spooky”. Another suggestion was that it was someone who was had been walled up in there! I said it might be Old Matheson, in a grump because the peasantry are now able to wander around his grounds at will! That’s what I reckon it is – Old Matheson, in a grump. I’m not a fan of Old Matheson.
One man commented that life is endlessly interesting, if you are interested in life.
Amen to that.
