A commission for Northlight Magazine on the hour before a storm reaches Orkney. Standing stones, empty roads and the people who check the sky for a living.

A commission for Northlight Magazine on the hour before a storm reaches Orkney. Standing stones, empty roads and the people who check the sky for a living.

Northlight asked for a story about weather without any weather in it. We settled on the hour before: the light going green, the ferries cancelled, the farmers moving sheep off the shore.

Over four days I followed a coastguard volunteer, a ferry skipper and a forecaster at Kirkwall, and photographed the Ring of Brodgar each evening as the wind came up.
