Oldshoremore Beach, Sutherland, Scotland

            
I live in the northern Highlands of Scotland & I'm very proud to call it my home.
Yesterday, the Met Office issued the warning of Gale force winds (gusts over 50mph) make walking difficult and strenuous with a potential to be blown over by gusts. There is often a marked increase in winds through cols or on exposed ridges and summits.
As a Professional Photographer, this was music to my ears and Oldshoremore Beach (one of my favourites in Scotland) was the place to be. It was wild, it was beautiful & it was brutally windy. And yes, it was difficult and strenuous to walk along and through the sand dunes and marram grass & I was blown over once or twice.
But, to see this raw beauty in these conditions was another reason why I'm proud to call this land my home.
