Pink Dawn

For me, there is little that is more inspiring than opening my bedroom curtains in the early morning and being greeted by this kind of stunning beauty.
This is why I keep a camera upstairs - these moments are so fleeting, but so very rewarding.

A photo of the early morning sky. A few trees can be seen at the bottom of the shot, but they are bare and almost leafless. The sky is filled with a lovely, rippling cloud with a dominant ridge almost in the centre which is being highlighted by the low angle of the sun. This contour is from top to bottom but there is also sculpting from left to right. The higher points of these ridges is coloured candy pink by the sunrise, shading into a subtle pastel orange. The more shadowed areas are a subtle purplish lilac. Near the bottom centre, a small flock of birds is flying across.

    "Live with me, and be my love,
    And we will all the pleasures prove
    That hills and valleys, dales and fields,
    And all the craggy mountains yields."

    Sunset in September. Queen's View, possibly named after Queen Isabella, wife of Robert the Bruce. A spectacular view over Loch Tummel to Schiehallion and beyond.

    A photo of a valley, with a still loch running from lower left to top right of the shot. The distance is misty, and the low light has converted the mountain flanks into silhouettes. A line of dark trees is masking the view from the top right corner to the middle centre, and the water is lit more strongly in the distance by the setting sun, which isn't visible. The cloud is quite heavy but the light filtering through is soft pastel pink, the rest of the scene is in a cyan and blue palette. It's tranquil, and very calm.
