  • Pink Sky Over A Dark Coast

    Pink Sky Over A Dark Coast

    Let’s bring this month of landscapes (and cityscapes, and seascapes) to a close with an early morning shot of the Devonshire coast, the clouds catching the first rays of sunlight. Thank you once again for following along this month, tomorrow a new theme will begin…

  • Over The Sea To Skye

    Over The Sea To Skye

    Here’s a shot of the water between mainland Scotland and the beautiful Isle of Skye in the distance.
