Picture of a cottage in the evening seen across a sea lochAn evening at Loch Gruinart, looking towards a cottage from the RSPB bird hide. The lights have come on in the cottage as the night falls, the light in the windows providing an idea of warmth against the cool blue dark evening light.

Picture of a moonrise over a bleak landscapeI’m not entirely sure from where I took this picture, I think either from the RSPB bird hide or the viewing platform at Gruinart. The view is north east over the flats and Loch Gruinart with the Moon rising over the hills. Barnacle Geese lifting off at the loch.
