It is no exaggeration to say that hundreds of islands
lie off the West Coast of Scotland from Sutherland to the Mull of Kintyre and the Ayrshire coast.
This image is taken from Fairlie on the Ayrshire coastline.
A line of yachts are moored offshore.
Beyond is the evenly elevated Great Cumbrae Island.
Little Cumbrae Island is further south and nearer to the mainland.
The presence of so many islands off Scotland’s West Coast adds a very pleasing sea/sky-scape horizon, particularly at sunrise and sunset.
Southern Argyll and Bute and the Ayrshire Coast have many delectable island views, even though the Hebrides win so many accolades.
This area is often under-estimated, but no longer by me!
A canvas being repainted. It was a lovely forest and sky-scape with a giant tale. Unfortunately I couldn't put my finger on the end of the story so it's back to a blank canvas for now. The plan is paint pouring.
One of two RAF Tornado GR.4's demonstrate their attack role as they 'soften-up' the opposition. The smoke and flames from the charges simulating the ordnance explosions were impressive - almost as much as the sky-scape!

About 40 gathered at Java Joes and then dispersed throughout the downtown streets.
Whether the volcanic ash from Eyjafjallajoekull was responsible or not for this gorgeous sunset over Larkfield Tarn this particular Saturday evening is open to question. However, the lack of a single contrail is directly attributable! Very unusual for this sky-scape when looking in this direction.

Ok. I admit. I am a cheat. I was bored...watching a nature programme on the telly.... and took this shot of the tv screen! (Being curious about if it would work....)
Breedon Church's position on top of Breedon Hill provides great views of the surrounding countryside and, as seen here, great sky-scapes.
This photo was taken from so far away, I had to do some edits on it to make it more appealing but I really enjoy the way it turned out.
Mumbai sky-scape undergoes change as it awaits that one spell of rain which occurs in midst of summer, every year..

I like three aspects about this image which is very simple in what it shows.
Firstly, the cloud front moving in, it became duller with more stratus clouds moving in from the East shortly after this was taken. The changing higher Cirrus cloud miggled with the increasing Cumulus build up. Cirus presence usually indicate a change in weather, due to its ice component suggesting a cooler front coming in. However, this cloud thickening was relatively short lived. When I left the reserve, the sun was shinnng brightly again.
Secondly, the image shows in its DoF how vast an expanse this is, with the eye moving to the center and showing the distance well as we move East into the North Sea. It captures just how vast and wild Norfolk's coastlines can look with dramatic sky scapes as a result. That's what I love about living in this county.
Thirdly, the various colours of blue from the wetlands, out to the coast, to the lighter blue in the centre of the horizon.
