Bass

The Bass Rock is an island in the outer part of the Firth of Forth in the east of #Scotland. Approximately 2 km (1 mi) offshore, and 5 km (3 mi) north-east of North Berwick, it is a steep-sided volcanic plug, 107 m (351 ft) at its highest point, and is home to a huge colony of gannets.

At high zoom, the true density of the bird colony is obvious.

A colour photo of one side of a steep-sided island, with a clear cyan sky overhead and a calm blue sea. The more horizontal ledges of the island are painted white by guano and the overflow has almost completely covered the vertical faces. At 100% magnification, individual birds can be seen, covering every available nesting ledge of which there are many. Beyond the island, on the left, the air is full of birds arriving and departing.


Summer Greens

A gorgeous day by Loch Earn, perfect for a stroll along the waterside to a viewpoint above the roads. Magical!

Looking back to June, and a trip we took to Loch Earn in the southern highlands of #Scotland, in the districts of Perth and Kinross, and Stirling.

Am Bioran (608 m/1995 ft) and Beinn Fuath (649 m/2129 ft)

A colour photo of a body of water with mountains on the opposite side. The sky is blue with fluffy scattered clouds and the waters of the loch are reflecting this. The flanks of the mountains (known as "Grahams") are clothed in green vegetation, the lower parts covered in woodland and the upper flanks showing patches of brownish scrub. In the centre of the shot and down the side of the mountain is a cleft filled with trees, this is a waterfall cascading down, encouraging strong growth. The foreground in front of the loch waters is a row of green trees. Dotted across the water are small boats, and more of them are moored on the opposite shore. It's beautiful.
