Applecross, where the Highlands meet the tide.
One moment you’re tracing the curve of the coastline, the next you’re watching a herd of deer step onto the beach. #scotland #landscape #wildlife #beach

After last nights cloudy moonrise, it was nice to see the moon lift off above The Bass Rock tonight, with Lamb Island and Fidra joining in the almost full moon party.

Did you catch last nights full moon ?
The skies were mostly clear and it was quite warm for a wee change.

During a brief visit to the Isle of Skye on Wednesday, the light was really nice for a few mins over Cleat (1100 feet), which is a neighbour of The Quiraing.
I managed to get this shot before the dark clouds in the background came over and it started raining. #scotland #landscapephotography

Lovely shot
This proud little puffin was soaking up the sunshine on the Isle of May. Sparkles on the sea, beak full of charm — a perfect coastal moment.

Some wonderful recent footage showing the raw beauty of Iceland in winter, love the intimate encounter with the reindeer.
Two separate weeks in Northern Iceland. An immersive 10min video, simply by pressing record on my Canon R3, using CLog3, balanced in Davinci Resolve and then I mixed recorded audio and music together.
