NW Scotland seascape

[Ken Rennie]

Achnahaird Bay with the mountains of Coigach and Assynt in the background. Taken last Saturday when the weather forecast was for overcast skies and light rain, I didn't bring the sun tan lotion. The last remnants of recent snow was just clinging on at the tops. Ken

Sounds like your weather forecasters are just as good as ours - excellent view with the overcast skies and light rain

Looks like a nice day to be out shooting there.

I still think that weather forecasters simply flip coins each day to decide the weather.

What a very cool sea scape. It looks like this is a rather large bay area? There is a pretty sandy beach. This is low tide?

Yes Jim, low tide when the beach is about 3/4 mile deep but only 1/5 mile across. At high tide only a fringe of flat sand remains backed by dunes which are off to the right of the image. There are many bays like this along the western fringe of Scotland. Ken

Our forecasts are now terrible. Forecasts for a week ahead are just guess work but now even daily forecasts can be completely wrong. However it was a great day to be out and about. Ken

yup, i see a rain cloud... that's interesting how your rocky coastline turns into a narrow sandy beach.

Lots of the NW coast of Scotland is like this, rocky with sandy coves and the terrific turquoise seas. Ken

… Beautiful. The wide crop adds a strength to the image.
