In a summer sunrise at 06:08 a view from Invereray Harbour across Loch Fyne with Binnein Fhidhleir, left, 811 metres, 2,661 feet and rugged Beinn Ime, 1,011 metres, 3,317 feet, just right of centre.
Commentary.
Inveraray is a, purpose-built, 18th. Century,
fishing village on the western shore of Loch Fyne.
Tucked away in Loch Shira Bay
it is a small but picturesque town,
popular with tourists.
A “New Town” expansion has developed
half a mile to the south of the “Old Town.”
Designed by William Adam, its final appearance was
enhanced by Robert Mylne.
This view, from the shoreline just south of the harbour pier,
takes in Strone Point, the most easterly part of Loch Shira Bay.
The sun, after 06:00 is well up,
but hidden by the encircling hills.
Its golden rays permeate the sky and low cloud
clinging to Beinn an Fhìdleir, across the loch, above Glen Kinglas.
Beinn Ime, in this shot, has emerged from its early morning
veil of cloud to reveal its rocky, uneven frame.
Loch Fyne, an immense sea-loch, almost 45 miles long
is renowned for its fish and shellfish.
Herrings in the form of Smoked Kippers
and Oysters are two of its best-liked exports.
This amazing loch, over four miles wide in places,
also supports Dogfish, Cod and Whiting
as well as Dolphins, Seals, and Basking Sharks.
Such a spectacular and fascinating environment.
