Reflection perfection in Loch Sween, Knapdale, Argyll, Scotland.
Commentary.
Between Crinan and Tayvallich in the Knapdale Forest lies Loch Sween and Caol Scotlish sea-lochs, home to vast coniferous plantations and Atlantic Oak woodland.
The flora and fauna are abundant on these steep, rocky
linear hills or “knaps” with sea-submerged “dales,” between.
From a vast array of bryophytes, liverworts, mosses and fungi
to Red and Roe deer, Wildcats, Golden Eagle, Osprey,
Red Squirrel, Pine Marten and the recently re-introduced European Beaver.
Maerl beds, anenomes, oysters and Volcano Worms inhabit the many inland miles of water-channel or “dales.”
Offshore, near islands like Scarba, Jura and Islay live a wide variety of Cetacea from Dolphin and Porpoise to Minke Whales and Basking Sharks.
It is truly a nature-lovers Garden of Eden.
Here, the north-east to south-west tree-covered “Knaps” are reflected in the glassy, still waters of Loch Sween.
Lush, verdant, green tones contrast brilliantly with the golden shoreline seaweed, and the peace and tranquillity is overwhelming!
