The sunrise gently blushes the underside of the clouds as the remains of an old ship builder's slipway are exposed by the low tide at Aberdeen Harbour.

The low tide at Aberdeen Harbour exposes the 100 year old remains of a slipway that was used by the "John Duthie Torry Shipbuilding Company," which was in use from 1904 to 1925.

The Duthie family were prominent shipbuilders in Aberdeen and had been building ships there since 1816.

On the horizon stands the mouth of Aberdeen Harbour, its mouth open between its protective sea walls with its buildings to the left, including the modern ",Marine Operations Centre" that belies the fact that "The Port Of Aberdeen" is Britains oldest existing business with it being established in 1136 by King David of Scotland.

Above the horizon, the light of the rising sun is gently kissing the underside of the clouds, giving them a subtle colour.
The texture of the clouds is contrasted by the water which is smoothed out by a 25 second exposure.

The sea stack at Muchalls on the North East coast of Scotland

A panoramic image of a sea stack which is in shadow due to the sun rising behind it.
The sun has lit up the clouds and the sea but leaves the stones and the stack dark.

Last week I spent 5 days in the Kingdom of Fife and took many images which I hope to share soon.

Here is a panoramic view of St Andrews which I took during the "Blue Hour" .

I'm really pleased at how it came out.

A panormic view of St Andrews from ontop of the harbour wall.
Shot during the "Blue Hour", this image has a cool hue to it.

The harbour wall leads the eye to the centre of the image where the ruins of St Andrews Cathedral can be seen.

To the left of the Cathedral can be found the modern buildings lining the harbourside, the warm glow from their lights contrasting against the cool blues of the scene.

The right of the image is where St Andrews Castle is located.

A long exposure has smoothed out the water which is in contrast to the textured clouds, which frames the top of the image

Aberdeen Beach at sunrise can be cold but its worthwhile suffering the low temperatures when the sky ignites like this.

Rum At Sunset

I loved the colour contrast in this scene so just had to shoot it.
Those warm hues clashing with the cold blues as the day diminished was stunning to witness.

The "De'il's Heid" on the Arbroath coast.
Waves crashing upon the rocks are smoothed out by a 1 minute long exposure which has also blurred the clouds.

Rattray Head Lighthouse just before sunset.
I loved the colour and form of the clouds and couldn't resist shooting this scene even though I was packed up and heading off to my car.

Rattray Head Lighthouse sits on the horizon which is on the bottom third of the image.
The sea is smooth and still.
Colourful clouds dominate the top ⅔
