perfect anchorage

We enjoyed the mellow dusk settle on this perfect anchorage with pints of beer in hand, outside the renowned Forge inn, (officially Britains remotest mainland pub). The tiny scottish hamlet of Inverie is inaccessible by road, only by sea or a demanding walk of many miles.

We had crossed to the unspoilt area of the knoydart peninsula by ferry from Mallaig for some amazing walking (see the series of 3 pics on heartbeat ridge . The sights on arrival were just captivating with wildflowers galore, deer roaming gardens, peacocks roosting (see bird in a tree and I also got the precious shot of morning gems.

    Hello,

    I liked your work very much. It’s beautiful and stunning. This one I liked in particular because of drama in sky and at the same time serenity in water and boat compliments with human presence.

    I think, I should be able to learn a lot from you.

    Thanks.
