Today sees the opening of a new exhibition which turns the main street in Stromness into a gallery space. The theme for the Open Windows 2013 exhibition is No Ordinary Journey - referencing the title of the book about Orcadian arctic explorer Dr John Rae, whose 200th birthday falls on 30th September 2013.
The writers and artists involved have not necessarily made their work about John Rae but have interpreted the wider theme suggested by the title.
Take a wander along the street during the exhibition and look out for the compass logo in windows displaying the art works. Including the window here at Stromness Library which features work by Yvonne Gray, Pamela Beasant and the late Margaret Storr Bell.
This is the second Open Windows exhibition with the first taking place in 2011 which you may remember we also took part in.
