Captured on Barassie Beach, Ayrshire, Scotland, with the sun low behind the Isle of Arran.
A similarly beautiful sunset last night too but I left the camera at home and instead took to the beach to pick litter instead. Removing just a few pieces of plastic from the beach or strandline is deeply rewarding.
Microplastics plague our environment. They are in the water we drink, food we eat and the air we breathe. Microplastics have been found in our lungs, our bloodstream, our brains and in foetuses too.
Despite the first full on sunny spring day falling on a bank holiday weekend, there was surprisingly little litter to pick last night. A surprising but pleasing result.
Please remember to only ever take to the beach the things which you are willing to take home with you afterwards.
Wishing you all a fantastic weekend of photography. Stay safe everyone.

The exquisite ornamentation of the Alhambra defines the meaning of arabesque. With a sense of wonder, I experienced this incomparable jewel of art.
"Let the beauty of what you love be what you do." -- Rumi
The arabesque is a basic ballet position. It has been used since the 18th century. The dancer stands on one leg (the supporting leg) with the other leg (the working leg) turned out and extended behind the body.
“As it is not only a religion but a way of life, Islam fostered the development of a distinctive culture with its own unique artistic language that is reflected in art and architecture throughout the Muslim world.”

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. This section of The Bridge to Nowhere, a pedestrian footbridge over the M8 Motorway in the city, had a beautiful s-curve but felt just a little bit claustrophobic, and to really build that feeling I gave the shot quite a strong tilt, or 'Dutch Angle'. Enjoy!
