Cockshell Bay

Posted by Alistair Keddie (Glasgow, United Kingdom) on 28 November 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Cockleshells litter the spectacular white sand beach of Traigh Mhor as summer skies play over a scatter of hebridean islands, Isle of Harris, Outer Hebrides of Scotland.

The Isle of Barra is one of two places in the world where scheduled flights land on the beach and if you fly, this one, Traigh Mhor, literally big beach, is the one you land on. Traigh Mhor forms part of an extensive system of beaches and dunes at the northern end of the island and floods at high tide to the depth of a few feet before emptying out to a vast and sheltered expanse of fine white sand where the locals dig for shell fish in between the rare but regular flights.

Welcome to big Alba photography and the fine art photographic work of Alistair Keddie, a photographer, artist and animated film maker from Scotland with a deep passion for photographing the landscape.
