Image of the Week

A weekly selection from my landscape photography.

Tràigh Hòrnais

One of this week’s tasks has been to put together some routes for Photography Tours and Workshops around Scotland. Any excuse to get the maps out is a good one, in my opinion, and I’ve been enjoying going through old notes and have been pouring over maps of the Outer Hebrides for the last hour, so I thought that I’d share this image from Tràigh Hòrnais on North Uist.

This was taken at sunrise one morning, and there was not another soul in sight. It was a moment of perfect tranquility and calm. Sitting on the rocks at the end of the beach, you could easily believe that the dunes are keeping all your worldly concerns at bay, while the sea sweeps away the accumulated stresses of day to day life.

It’s life in a beautiful little bubble, just for a few hours.

Prints are available from my gallery here.
