Another angle of the natural arch on Moray coastline, northern Scotland. I prefer the composition of this one but it doesn't quite have enough aurora in it for me.

Anything which moves must be removable, hence, must be removed. I think it is part of the raccoon code.
They say that music speaks, but what about the instruments themselves? If my fiddle could talk she would tell stories of travels, losses and family gatherings. She would recount the many people met, befriended or uplifted through a jig, waltz or reel. She would reveal places visited where according to her previous owner “she should never have been”. She wears cracks and scrapes as proof of her journey but her colorful history remains a secret.
Bow Fiddle Rock
A violin bow tip
Bow Fiddle Rock is a natural sea arch near Portknockie on the north-eastern coast of Scotland. It is so called because it resembles the tip of a fiddle bow.[1]
It is composed of Quartzite, a metamorphic rock which was originally quartz sandstone.[1] This rock is part of the Cullen Quartzite formation which is seen along the coast between Buckie and Cullen and is some 2,400m thick and dates from the Neoproterozoic Era, 1,000 to 541 million years ago.[2]
These rocks were folded when the ancient continents of Laurentia and Avalonia collided during the Caledonian orogeny. They later became exposed at the surface where sea and weather eroded the structure seen today.[1]
The rock formation is both a tourist attraction and nesting place for sea birds including herring gulls, great black-backed gulls and lesser black-backed gulls.

The day we landed as you can see was pure blue sky and tide out, so no long exposures or detail in the sky, but you have to go with the flow and get what you can, and put it on the list of places to return to, one day. I like this shot as the sun was shining on the stones in the foreground making them glisten

I got some Fiddleheads at the Co-op and steamed them today, then sauteed them in butter. We ate them and they were delicious!
Okay, try to ignore the unsightly culvert at the top of the falls. It is a bit hard to keep that out of the composition of this waterfall. I guess I could crop off the top of it, but I'm not sure if that would make it much better.
It is a pretty waterfall otherwise. Fiddle Creek Falls near Downieville (18 ft. high).
On another note, I was quite blessed this day with good lighting for all my shots. It was a very sunny day, and I didn't get to Fiddle Creek until about noon. I wasn't expecting to have any decent light for this waterfall, but fortunately it was still in shade. I was quite happy about that.
The fiddlehead ferns are just popping up in the arboretum by my house. I love shooting them in the early stages of opening.
