Jackie's Photos Blog: Wordless Wednesday, Orkney Islands.

Tuesday, April 15, 2025

More from Orkney, Skara Brae.

The houses were built sunken into the ground.

It felt strange to be walking where people were known to have lived thousands of years ago.

This is one of the passageways into the houses that has been reconstructed using the original stonework.

I am joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for the blog hop.

How exciting to see this in person. It must be strange being somewhere where there simply are no trees. Maybe that's why they built their houses Underground as wind protection.

Absolutely incredible! I, too, would love to see that in person!

Skara Brae is absolutely fascinating!
There’s something so humbling about standing in a place where people lived their everyday lives thousands of years ago.

Happy Thursday, Jackie!
