Morar Bay and its gleaming white sands, hotel and village, Lochaber, Inverness-shire, Scotland.
Commentary.
White sands lining the shores of the bay.
River Morar gushes out of Loch Morar
a mere two miles, over rapids and waterfalls.
Fresh water mixes with the tidal brine
in blue, turquoise and green
streams of colour.
Morar Cross is a low vantage point
and yet provides astounding vistas.
West is the breath-taking views to Rum,
particularly at sunset, over the bay.
East looks inland over Loch Morar,
its mountains and mercurial wooded islands.
Image captured in 1981 with a basic
Kodak Instamatic Camera.
Now, in 2023, little in Morar has changed
bar a new by-pass to Mallaig, nearer to sea-level.
Whatever the camera, whatever the year, this coastline
remains stunningly beautiful,
another jewel in the crown.
