A gentle dawn



Harris, day two
Our pattern for the trip was to rise early, when it was still dark, and leave the hotel about 6.15 am for a dawn shoot. We'd then return about 9 am for a hearty and much appreciated breakfast. An hour or so 'recovery time' after breakfast gave us chance to regroup practically and mentally, then we'd be off again, exploring and taking photos until after sunset.

The first morning, we went to the beach at Tràigh Rosamol, just around the corner from the celebrated Luskentyre beach. I rarely see sunrise in these heady days of retirement, so it was pretty amazing to experience it there. The island of Taransay was again on the horizon. The light got gradually more blue as the sun came up behind us.



When the light got brighter, I was attracted to the patterns and textures on the beach. There was a stream flowing into the sea, creating some intricate motifs of dark and light sand.

  1. Beautiful. The first shot looks almost like a watercolour painting. Simplicity in photography is not as simple as it looks!

  4. What a great series you have here! I haven't seen any mention of the cataract surgery results, but here you are posting so I hope things went very well indeed. Your photographic eye is wonderful; hope the actual vision you experience is improved to suit you.
