Well, we're in the grip of this cold snap that will last until the end of the week. At the moment across the country there is a band of a weather front or what we normally consider a band of rain moving northwards over the country but because it is so cold. Welcome back to the channel. Welcome back to the vlog. Today you join me. I'm still on Ackle Island and it's the end of my second day. No, I never got up this morning for sunrise. A couple of reasons really. I had a kind of a difficult night sleep. It was really really cold outside. I was nice and warm within the van but actually it was too warm at certain times during the night so I kept waking up. But I didn't obviously want to take off any of the layers because it was minus two overnight and we also had a flurry of snow. When I woke this morning it was too frantic, Christ from German that we were after getting up late and he banging on the side of the van. He ended up going down to Kim Bay again to take some shots but at that point for me the light was too harsh, the sun was too high. So I decided just to take the extra bit of time for a sleep. Now like I said it's on the end of the second day now and we've come to the other side of the island. And over here behind me you have thing called white cliff and when they light up by the sun I think they'll be really really nice. Now at the moment we've got some patchy clouds as well there so it should be actually a nice evening. Hopefully it'll be a nice sunset. We get a nice bit of color because what we have here from this vantage point is views to this side and views all along here as well. So if these areas catch the light it will be absolutely beautiful. Over to my right hand side as well I can see where we were this morning in Kim Bay and I can see the mighty Krugan cliffs that we were actually camped at the base of. So yeah that's what we're going to do anyway here for my final episode on Akul. It's been fantastic. We didn't get much light yesterday as you would have seen from that video. You know we got rained on quite a lot. It didn't change for the remainder of the evenings so there was no sunset. And then this morning it was clear skies which is unusual but again like I said we got up too late for me anyway on purpose. So yeah I'll give you a look around here. What I'm going to do is take a couple of shots anyway here of these cliffs behind and I'm going to do some long exposures while I'm waiting for the light. But if the light does come I think it's going to be fantastic. We're around about an hour away now from sunset and it is absolutely Baltic up here. I've got you know my jacket on and just took off my gloves here because where you are at the moment is actually in the van because there's a huge wind that's blowing this direction here. And that's what's making it so cold but yeah we are not that far away now from sunset. There is some clouds on the horizon hopefully they won't be things that stop what I'm hoping to get which is some nice light hitting these headlands here. Down this direction actually should be nice but let's see how we get on in relation to that. I took a couple of long exposures in different directions as well which were quite interesting while I was waiting for the sun to dip. But yeah this is quite interesting beautiful nonetheless you know really really nice areas to look around but what it needs now is the light. So fingers crossed we get the light in around about maybe 45 minutes. The light is unfortunately starting to fade now it's going behind a bank of clothes there on the horizon. What the light is milk right now I think is probably going to be the last of the light. Now what I've done here is gun out with my long lens and I've just picked out a couple of vignettes as the light was bouncing off some of the peaks, some nice shadows and such like that that were hitting off of them and then I shot as well behind me. But yeah as you can see I'm in the van right now and I'm absolutely freezing. I think I'm coming down with a cold or something because I'm all wrapped up it's cold but I still can't get warm so hopefully I'm not coming down with something anyway because I'm not finishing this trip yet. We still have one more location to visit after now but yeah I think I'm going to hang around here and see now if I'm going to get this light. It doesn't look like it to be honest you know I might end up getting something on the horizon if the clothes that are on the horizon can catch a bit of light. Yeah advantage of having the van is that I can be here away from the elements I suppose I can see the sun directly from here as well so I'm not going to miss anything and I'm not hanging around as well in the freezing cold. Yeah I'm sure you would have gotten anywhere here now and then like I said hopefully we might have a final hurrah for Accu-L Island because it is a stunning area but like I said in Iran it needs light and yeah maybe not. I don't know and but yeah I'm sure you want to have now check back in before we finish today's adventure. Well that was a pretty much of a bit of a letdown. I retreated now back into like the old days in the van with Mr. Jeremy Rodonovan and he's made me an absolutely beautiful curry. So yeah I'm going to talk into that now and try and warm up because yeah it was freezing. So look thank you very much for joining this episode pretty on eventful overall but do think I got some nice shots nonetheless. Now maybe some nice banx porchers and a bit of colour when it was hitting those lights. If you're first time on the channel please hit the subscribe button.
