Apologies for the (excessive) amount of sunset pics but both evenings were beautiful - you will have to indulge me just this once! It was so nice just to sit on the shoreline at 10pm and gaze at the wonderful changing glow on the horizon.
I will let the pictures show you how chilled-out it was..........
The quayside in Girvan |
Looking back towards the town, sea mist coming in |
Navigation lights in the harbour |
E on the beach with Syd. Ailsa Craig on the left, navigation lights on right.
|
Syd decided to go for a dip! |
Someone making sure we left the car park via the correct exit! |
Fishing nets drying on the quayside |
Lots of reflections and calm waters |
Ailsa Craig, with Arran in the distance, viewed from the beach at Woodland Bay
|
Syd goes walkabout. Woodland Bay hotel in background. |
So calm.......... |
..........and tranquil |
The sun's rays catching the remains of the tide |
Our window overlooked the bay and the Isle of Arran.....bliss! |
Fishing floats made from discs of tyre
|
'Rambler' - in for repairs
|
Ok, it's a bike stand but I liked the fact that it needed no words.
|
All sorts of different seaweed in beautiful clear water
|
Croy Bay, next to Culzean Castle
|
Culzean Castle through the mist |
Croy Bay (Ailsa Craig in the distance) |
Sunset on the second evening |
Ailsa Craig with it's own mist |
An oystercatcher looks for his supper |
By this time (9.30pm-ish) the sea was like a mill pond |
More like 'tropical' than 'Scotland'! |
We were watching the sun from behind the rocks when a seal appeared! |
Then a nosey oystercatcher! |
So hard to believe how wet the weather has been recently |
10.30pm |
Such a fantastic trip! I'm thoroughly jealous!
ReplyDeleteThese are incredible pics Bev! Absolutely beautiful. And so atmospheric. You must have been reliving these few days over the last rain-sodden week! I don't know south west Scotland all that well but you have made it climb into my list of "must visit" places! For some reason this post didn't come up in my normal blog reader when you posted it so missed it at the time but catching up on my blog reading today I found it and it's cheered what has been a rather bad day workwise enormously - thank you!

ReplyDeletePS you really ought to get your photos made into cards you know.
