Pittenweem

After our visit to Anstruther we stopped off just down the Fife coast in the smaller fishing port of Pittenweem for a short visit before heading back over the Forth Road Bridge.   Pittenweem is mainly a working fishing port with the fleet moored up when we visited on Sunday afternoon.  Along the front is a line of brightly coloured houses with craft and art studios as well as cafes and an ice cream palour come sweet shop. Using the Fujifilm X-T1 and 18mm f2 or the 56mm f1.2 prime lenses I wandered around the harbour area to get some images.

We stayed for a few hours; had some 'award winning' chips from the local chippie, walked the narrow streets and along the harbour wall and generally took in the atmosphere of the place.   We could see the East Lothian coast but it was covered in shadow and mist and we couldn't make out Dunbar.  However we could see ...
