I didn’t sit down once I reach the top of Knockbrex Hill on the early morning walk! The photos I have posted all week are all from this walk in Galloway, SW Scotland and looking through the images has provided me with some very attractive memories.

That Early Morning Light
The angle of light on the stones on this beach proves the walk I had that morning in Galloway, SW Scotland really was not long after sunrise.
Cairnholy
Our stay in Scotland was not all sunshine and sunsets. It was pretty damp the day we went to Cairnholy, but not enough to put us off the visit and, in fact, the weather probably made the experience more enjoyable.
The atmosphere in the misty hills of Galloway in SW Scotland and the fact that we were the only people there made it me feel much closer to those that had originally constructed these neolithic burial monuments.
Bonfire in Paradise
And as the sunset faded, so the warmth and the light of the fire took over alongside the sound of evening birds, the murmur of voices and the crackle of the fire.
Sea and Sky – the absence of sunlight
Absence of sunlight does not necessarily mean the scene will be less beautiful / dramatic / atmospheric.
These photos I took on the Galloway coast in SW Scotland are almost Rothko-esque in their subtlety of colour, tone and texture. The sea merged into the sky but as the colour of one reflects the colour of the other, I guess that merging should be expected. It is just the differing textures or a hint of land (rock) that allows us to understand the view.
Sunset and Sea in Scotland
Words not necessary – the photos tell all that is needed about where we were over Easter!
