My daily treks down and around this engineering marvel, located along the coastline in Caithness continue. This blog entry shares with you another fortnight, dated from October 30th, 2023 up to November 12th, 2023…
The skies were notable at this time for being spectacular, adding a precious ambience to the experience of capturing nature here in this picturesque location.

Welcome once more to Whaligoe Steps…
Oct. 30th, 2023: Clouds were sauntering through rich blue skies, whilst the ‘forgotten’ flight of Whaligoe Steps juggled with rain and hints of grass.
Oct. 31st, 2023: Sunrise wrestled with more clouds during this Tuesday trek.
As I ascended the steps, I was greeted by my first sighting of the robin this autumn.
Nov. 1st, 2023: Ventured into the shallow cave on the pebble shoreline.
Since storm Babet, I’m still discovering the changes within the landscape around here. This includes how the rusty broken anchor has been moved and partly covered.
Nov. 2nd, 2023: It doesn’t happen every morning, but it’s a treat to witness both the sun in one direction and the moon in the other. The photos below show how prominent the moon was during this particular trek.
Nov. 3rd, 2023: Unsettled weather was captured as waves whipped up into gusty symphonies.
Nov. 4th, 2023: Star was attentive and delightful as she always is.
A clattering of jackdaws enjoy the sunshine which coats a roaming fence.
Nov. 5th, 2023: Two faces of the North Sea captured in one trek. Waves excitable reach for the skies, and then a little later there were tranquil waters.
Nov. 6th, 2023: A wild rabbit plays peek-a-boo.
I found that Whaligoe Steps has a heart of stone.
Nov. 7th, 2023: Landscape moments where perception is captured from a distance. Looking down on the Bink where the North Sea shares a clarity.
The waterfall here continues to flow with abundant energy.
Nov. 8th, 2023: Ambience of another cloudy autumnal day.
Nov. 9th, 2023: On this Thursday trek, I was fortunate to see two versions of a sunrise. A softer glow behind swaying flora was the first encounter.
Then a little later, a fire sandwiched between well defined clouds.
Nov. 10th, 2023: Standing beside the old Salt House down on the Bink gives a sense of history within this coastal environment.
During this trek, I pondered over the vastness of the enduring tides of the North Sea.
Nov. 11th, 2023: Temperatures fell during these treks down and around Whaligoe Steps, but still the sun watched from afar.
Pleasant ambience on this early Saturday afternoon.
Nov. 12th, 2023: Silhouettes.
Wrap up warm and know you’re appreciated. Thank you for your generosity of time and for your support, they mean a lot.
Until the next one, take care.
