A spectacular sunset over the Isle of Rum from Morar Cross, Inverness-shire, Scotland.

Commentary.

 

In the 1971 song “Vincent” by Don McLean he describes one of Vincent Van Gogh’s paintings as having “fields of amber-grain,” a lovely and apt description.

Here in a view from Morar Cross one merely needs to adapt the description to, a sea of amber-grey,” as the golden orb dips below the clouds and the Isle of Rum, to warm a darkening pewter, leaden sea.

 

A hundred times I must have come to this coastline.

Its sunsets are a therapy, a sobering moment of solace, meditation, reassurance, inner-peace and confirmation that:-

God is in his heaven, all is well with the world.
