Art-rock punksters Wire with a driving little number about cartography :o)...how cool is that?
Don't know if this works or not, it's a pretty naff photo but what with Chrimble shopping and all those "let's put it off til December" things at work beginning to bite my backside, it's all I could manage over the weekend. This is a quick shot of the very excellent OS 1:25000 scale Explorer map of Orkney, showing the very north-west of West Mainland around the parish of Birsay. It would be very pretentious and poncy of me to say that this is my spiritual home, so I won't, but you get the drift. Shameless plug (it IS Christmas after all) but I have several galleries of Orkney as sub-galleries to my Scotland gallery...please feel free to stop by :o)
I should confess that what made me want to do this pic was seeing those square and rectangular fields all over the place...talk about organised!!

Ah ah I understand why Birsay now....
And we know where will be the party at the end of the challenge !!!
Great fun I'm sure in this lovely place !
Should I have some birds shots in this area ? :-)))
Nicely squared and rectangled, Doug. I remember Uncut magazine doing their top 100 singles (years ago), and this offering from Wire sat at a nicely rounded No 40, between Richard Hell and the Voidoids' Blank Generation...and Heaven 17's Fascist Groove Thang. Obviously I've kept the list!
