One of my fave isolated #beaches to have a fire & hang out, watching the #ocean 😊 I love rock hunting here too. I've found lots of interesting rocks here before.
It's a 45 minute drive from our home to get to this spot. I saw no one else there, on my last visit.

The image presents a scenic view of a coastal town. The focal point of the image is the deep blue ocean, which stretches out into the horizon. The ocean is dotted with several boats, adding to the lively marine activity.

The town itself is built on a cliff, with houses and buildings constructed in close proximity to each other. These structures are primarily made of stone, giving the town a rustic charm. A river runs through the center of the town, serving as a natural divider between the various parts of the settlement.

In the foreground of the image, there's a small dock area where several boats are moored. The colors in the image are predominantly earthy tones, with the blue of the ocean providing a striking contrast to the otherwise muted palette.

The image is framed by two photographs placed on either side. These photos offer different perspectives of the same town, adding depth and dimension to the overall scene. The relative positions of the objects suggest that the town is situated near the coast, with boats regularly using the river for transportation.

The shorter days mean a concentration of light effects and the start of the setting sun is seen fairly soon after noon. This photograph taken at 13:17 last Sunday. Actual sunset was about 2 hours away but there is this golden glow of the closing day already around…

The image captures a scenic coastal landscape on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, during sunset.  The vibrant sky features a mix of deep blue and scattered white and yellow clouds, illuminated by the bright sun low on the horizon. The sun's reflection creates a shimmering path across the water, leading towards distant landmasses. The foreground is dominated by a grassy, rugged shoreline with some green shrubs and a gravel path on the right. The scene suggests a remote, natural location known for its breathtaking landscapes.

Great #walk yesterday as we continued our #Fife #Coastal route (after a rather long pause). #Kingsbarns to St Andrews in glorious conditions (sunny, dry and not cold). Big waves over the sandstone reefs and plenty of sea birds.
Rivers loudly in muddy #spate after rain of past days. Stopped near #Buddo rock for lunch. Investigated the tunnel bunker just beyond. Then Rock and Spindle before final to St Andrews and #Caffè #Bomboloni for welcome #coffee & #doughnuts.
