Benderloch and Tralee bay

Had a wee trip with the family up in Oban last weekend and managed escape my fatherly duties for a couple of hours. Made the walk down to the rocks at the end of the beach at Tralee bay as the sun was dipping down and got a couple of images I'm happy with. I've vistited this spot at low tide before and always marvel at the strange and beautiful formations there, caused by the subtle erosion over the ages by the tides. oh, and a shout out to maker of emotive masterpieces, Richard Childs, whose images of the same rocks inspired me to seek them out.

Finnich gorge and endrick falls

I don't always have to journey a million miles away for some stunning locations and these are two of my faves. Finnich gorge is a natural gorge near Killearn ( about an hours drive from hame ) carved out by the melting of glaciers at the end of the last ice age in Scotland. It's a bit treacherous to get down there but is well worth the nervous slide down the old victorian access steps to reach. The reddish brown water of the river is towered over on both sides by beautifully sculpted sandstone that compliments the hues of rich green mosses and lichens that blanket the sides. I also made the pilgramage to the beautiful Endrick falls just a 15 min drive up the Carron valley from Killearn to capture the stunning view of Fintry and beyond. Good day. ;)
