A fiery red sunset after the rain

Not long after A rainy sunset, the rain cleared away to a spectacular fiery red sunset over the Firth of Clyde.

The sun filtered through the clouds and the rain just before setting below the horizon.

A absolute stunning sunset

There is just nothing better than to come home (after a hard day in the office and a longer journey home due to road closures following an accident) than to relax with a glass of wine while admiring the sunset over the water.

And what a sunset it was! This is what makes Morland House and living on the coast so special.

Sunset over Wemyss Bay and Toward Point

A beautiful sunset tonight with stunning views over the Firth of Clyde toward Toward Point and towards Dunoon over Wemyss Bay Pier and Station.

Wow! What a sunset

Tonight’s sunset is simply stunning.

This is what makes living on the North Ayrshire coast so special.

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.

Great wee wander up the hills.

Nice to bump into Stevi who was also on a photography wander up the hills.

Happy New Year!

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!

Doon the water

We decided to take a trip ‘doon the water’ after lunch on a sunny Sunday afternoon. After a nice drive along the Clyde and down the coast, with wonderful views across the water, we arrived at our old stomping ground, Skelmorlie and Largs.

After a brief walk to inspect the newly built flats on the shore at Skelmorlie, we continued our drive along the coast to Largs. The walk along the promenade and Largs Beach was brazing, but well worth it for the fresh air and stunning sunset.

Late evening sun on our trees

COVID19 has firmly taught us that we don’t have to go far from home to admire nature and stunning views. Tonight was another prime example, with the late evening sun lighting up the trees in our garden followed by a absolute stunning sunset.

Snow storms and a winter sunsets

Just after starting our walk along the shores of Loch Lomond from Milarrochy Bay, we could see an ominous snow cloud coming our way across the loch. Less than ten minutes into our walk we decided not to take a gamble and swiftly head back for the car. It was a good choice to have our tea/coffee with shortbread from the comfort of our warm car while the snow and wind whirled around.

About forty minutes later, the snow had cleared and we were back out for our walk and to enjoy the never tiring views.

I couldn’t resit taking yet another picture of the famous oak tree against the backdrop of the passing storm clouds and the slowly re-emerging winter sun.

At the end of our refreshing walk we even got to see yet another memorable sunset at Milarrochy Bay.

Sunset from Drumbeck

Magnificant views to Glasgow, Slackdhu and Strathblane on the way down from a late afternoon walk up Dumbreck on New Year’s Day.
