Indigo Rum at sunset from Morar Cross, Morar, Inverness-shire, Scotland.

Poem.

 

Pale-grey river wends its short course from Loch Morar to Morar Bay.

At low tide in an evening light the famed white sands are sandwiched between river and sea into an elegant mercury-grey crescent.

Distant tanker chugs its course through the pewter-grey sea-channel.

The indigo hills of Rum are silhouetted against the burnished glow of a setting sun as the headlands spike the image with acute rocky arms.

The combination of river, sandbank, sea, headland and island undulations, in such understated evening hues, provides a compelling scene ………

a special moment.
