Calm Before the Storm
This monochrome image is another long exposure view from the beach at Sango Sands, Durness. Whilst it appears all calm on the beach, the weather was turning, as indicated by those scudding clouds. It was breezy when we arrived, and as the afternoon tide ebbed, the wind and sea increased in intensity. Just spectacular.
Sango Sands Beach is a small sandy cove with scattered rocky outcrops that is a photographer's paradise as the tide recedes, exposing more and more rocks further down the beach. This image gives a pleasing effect with the clouds being whipped by the wind, but a calm and detailed beach and shoreline with a partial reflection of the pyramidal rock.
Durness (Scottish Gaelic: Diùranais) is a village and civil parish in the north-west Highlands of Scotland. It lies on the north coast of the country in the traditional county of Sutherland around 190 km north of Inverness. The area is remote and the parish is huge and sparsely populated covering an area from east of Loch Eriboll to Cape Wrath, the most north-westerly point of the Scottish mainland.
