The island of Rousay, part of the Orkney Islands, lies in the North Sea /Atlantic Ocean northeast of Scotland, approximately 53 kilometers away. from the mainland.
tt covers an area of 46 square kilometers and has approximately 230 inhabitants.
Amidst the island's natural beauty, there are more than one hundred ancient archaeological sites.
And then there's also a site, depicted in the surrounding images, that can be considered an art environment.
Thia art environment is located along the southern coast of Rousay, near a house called Giord.
It's quite possible that it was created by the owner of this house.
However, the house is currently for sale, and the advertisement for it doesn't mention the owner's name.
It does mention that Giord House has an outdoor space with a 1.37-hectare plot and a sheltered garden and this indicates that there was sufficient outdoor space to create an art environment.
The images in this post show that the creations in the art environment often include depictions of all kinds of animals.
But there are also other items on display, such as above left a figure made of iron bandages and above right a large anchor and a small-scale lighthouse.
The image below shows a ship on dry land, and it's questionable whether this ship is part of the art environment.
In any case, the image gives an impression of the beautiful view one can have from the coast of Rousay Island.
