Delightful tones in the Sky…looks more like a scene from the Caribbean than the cold shores of North East Scotland. I am up your way next week so look out for a Crazy southerner trying to capture the Magic you seem to get with so much ease walking along the Dunes, not sure i will be up early enough to get dawn shots but hopefully get a few at dusk.
Another great one
