The Tide is High [Explore 28/4/24]

Sunset photography on Barassie Beach, Scotland.

Some kayakers were wrapping up their evening paddle as the sun was setting over the Isle of Arran. The beautiful wooden paddle was handcrafted in Ardnamurchan as I am told by Lorna, my latest '100 Strangers' portrait uploaded a few days ago. She posed with the paddle for me as the water droplets glistened in this remaining sunlight.

Framing the clouds in the top right reminded me of those classic Caribbean photographs of a canoe on a white beach with palm tree fronds framing the corner of the shot. Some hardy varieties of palm tree are grown in some gardens of the Ayrshire coast but there are definitely none on the waterfront itself. The tide was half-way in here but that didn't make for such a compelling title.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend of photography my Flickr friends.

Enjoy!
