Berneray Twilight

Posted by Alistair Keddie (Glasgow, United Kingdom) on 22 November 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Pink streamers of cloud paint the twilight and sea above and around the white sands of Berneray with the hills of Harris to the north in Scotland's Outer Hebrides.

As the light fell and the sun sank below the horizon, the cloud streamers above began to take on the most extraordinary and intense pink hues against the deepening blue of the sky. I love the way in long exposure shots by the sea, the light and colours bounce and reflect in quite unexpected ways. It lends an accidental quality to the shots that actually make perfect sense when you see them so the subtle flecks of colour in the water reflect and echo what's above them. Its an extraodinary place, this beach on western edge of Berneray, on the western edge of Europe.

So, to keep the link thing going , I was amazed by these photographs from Madagascar, again from Nat Geo... This just makes my heart pulse and I find these just to be so incredibly beautiful, especially the shot of the white lemur with its tail spiralled against the limestone daggers...
