The pure glory of Morar Bay and the Isle of Rum, in summer, at sunset, from Morar Cross, Inverness-shire, Scotland.

Poem.

 

A silhouetted, rapier-like peninsula piercing the radiant splendour of a pewter-grey sea.

Domed islands capped by the heavenly spokes of a setting-sun.

Timeless beauty.

Silence, but for the distant scream of a gull and the gentle, pulsating whistle of an oyster-catcher.

Sky, rock, sand, light and sea uniquely combine

to produce a glimpse inside heaven’s door.

Don’t yearn for heaven.

Look around.

It’s already here!
