Aurora Borealis over the Firth of Clyde

Last night was a first for me, seeing the Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights, for the first time with the naked eye in Scotland.

The Northern Lights were simply spectacular with their mixture of green, amber and red lights dancing through the sky between the South West and North West. Unfortunately there was a little bit too much cloud directly to the North.

I’m well pleased with these photos.

Autumn sunset over Toward Point

The sun setting over the Firth of Clyde simply never disappoint and are never the same. There is nothing better than relaxing after a hard days work than sitting at the window with a glass of wine and watch the sun go down.

Tonight we enjoyed an early autumn sunset over Toward Point while CalMac’s MV Bute (Eilean Bhóid) is sailing into the sunset en route to Rothesay on Bute.

Haste la vista

After a long 17 year absence, we’re back at Morland.

We had forgotten how special the views are. Simply to die for.
