The Milky Way above the Ring of Brodgar, on Orkney.
In an otherwise clear sky, it was "disappointing" to have that band of cloud that just didn't want to disperse.
The bright light on the clouds is from the town of Stromness, where we had docked a few hours earlier.

The world's existing cat flap is apparently Exeter Cathedral's cat flap - which dates back to the 14th century.
This 14th Century AD, door at Exeter Cathedral, UK 🇬🇧, is thought to be the oldest existing cat flap...
A cat was paid a penny each week, to keep down the rats and mice in north tower, and a cat flap was cut into door below astronomical clock to allow cat to carry out its duties.
