Landscape/seascape photography from Gailes Beach, Scotland.
On a blustery day with the tide rolling out and leaving behind some sandbanks littered with shells and slate, I just loved the shape and form of the water as it flowed both on and off of the beach here.
Processed in black and white but given a slight split tone treatment which just gave the shot the atmosphere that it called for. Enjoy!

The tide rolling out at Gailes Beach near Troon, Scotland, on a very windy day.
A high tide in stormy winds had brought seafoam and flotsam right up to the foot of the nearby dunes. The wind was bitingly cold and tears streamed as it whistled around my glasses but the sound of the ocean was welcoming and familiar. Troon harbour is just about visible above the waves.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend of photography. Stay safe and keep the shutters clicking!

Beach landscape captured on 2nd January 2023 - the first time I have picked up my camera since August 12th 2022! It is unheard of that I would avoid my camera for 4 days, never mind 4 months. There is a deeper story behind that which I may share one day.
The beach here at Troon, Scotland, had been altered by the winter storms and spring tides carrying flotsam right up to the sand dunes. I loved the low afternoon sun catching the sharply formed ridges in the sand here and captured this blindly at arms length. I love the result. Enjoy!

The beautifully majestic yet derelict Cambusnethan House Priory near Motherwell, Scotland.
Captured in September 2021 while exploring the area around Motherwell with my camera. This Gothic-revival country house, built in 1820, is listed on the Buildings at Risk Register. While I was there a member of the "Friends of Cambusnethan Priory" was there raising awareness and funds to try to prevent any further deterioration of this beautiful historic building. Enjoy!
