Lilac Lighthouse II - Turnberry Lighthouse, South Ayrshire

On a really cloudy and grey day, during a walk along the coast at Turnberry, the cloud began to clear to allow light from the low winter sun to cast a lilac hue across the water and the rocks of the foreshore. It only lasted about 10 minutes, before the cloud returned and ended the show.

Sunset Blue - Ailsa Craig from Girvan Harbour, South Ayrshire

The sun sets to the south west of Ailsa Craig, which is framed by the entrance to Girvan Harbour. As it did so, the sky above Ailsa Craig turned ever fierier and sea turned a rich blue to mark the beginning of the blue hour. A long exposure was used to calm the rough waters at the harbour entrance.

On a windy winter's day, the pier drew people towards it so that they could gaze at the setting sun. Those who stood still long enough were captured as ghostly figures in this 5 minute exposure.

Majestic Blue III - The Kelpies at the Helix, Falkirk

I arrived on a dank winter evening to find the Kelpies shrouded in fog. It eventually cleared to show the head of this majestic sculpture. One of the two Kelpies. The Kelpies are two 100ft-tall horse head sculptures made of 600 tonnes of steel and part of a £43 million redevelopment at The Helix, Falkirk. The artist, Andy Scott was inspired by the tradition of working horses in Scotland which used to pull barges along canals and worked in the fields where they now stand.

Two wrecks of World War 2 XT-craft, training versions of the X craft mini submarine, can be seen in Aberlady Bay. This is the westernmost and best preserved one. The sun was low in the west as I was taking this shot, such that it lit up the skeletal remains to show the detail of all the growth on what could almost be the carcass of a beached marine creature.

Vanishing Bridges - Forth Road Bridge and Forth Bridge, South Queensferry Harbour, West Lothian

From the most northerly corner of the wall of South Queensferry Harbour, you get a great perspective of the two bridges of the Forth (but becoming three bridges) as they vanish across the Firth to land on its northern, Fife shore. In the twilight at the end of a warm summer’s day, a blue stillness descends over them as they do so.

Ailsa’s Little Sister - Ailsa Craig from Boydston Shore, Ardrossan, North Ayrshire

After sunset, on a walk along the beach at Boydston Shore, I was struck by the similarities between a rock on the foreshore and Ailsa Craig, the island formed from a volcanic plug that is in the outer Firth of Clyde. Ailsa, meet your little sister!!

Glide By - Boydston Shore, Ardrossan, North Ayrshire

A swan glides through the calm waters of the Firth of Clyde under a sky filled with pale blues and pinks from the setting sun as it dips below the horizon. In the cooling evening air, wisps of cirrus cloud begins to form above Goat Fell on the Isle of Arran.

Encrusted - Boydston Shore, Ardrossan, North Ayrshire

As mid-summer approaches, the sun sets slightly to the north-west and in doing so casts golden light onto the side of this unknown wreck located on the beach north of Ardrossan. Over the years, the wreck has gradually decayed and become encrusted in small barnacles. The barnacles themselves turn golden in this light.
