Winter Skies

johnmurrayjnr

I think Scotland's sky is very much at its most beautiful in Winter. Nature certainly puts on a show, so if you're visiting, I'd highly recommend getting up early(ish) (after checking the weather!) to witness the colours in the sky. 

Sunset is equally as beautiful also, grab a spot and watch one of nature's greatest show. It can be chilly so best warm up after with a wee dram in a cosy pub nearby  

Here's a couple from recently  

Edinburgh

St Monans, Fife 

Dysart, Fife

There have been some stunning skies recently. I've been a bit slack getting out to photograph them though.

@johnmurrayjnr that pic of St. Monans is incredible!

@VisitScotlandLiam Very kind sir! It's a great spot. I was one of 4. 2 travelled from Perthshire and another from Livingston. 

I have met many people on this wall and a lot have travelled, and even stayed in the area, because they saw it on instagram

@FullStopNextChapter with the late sunrises, there's no excuse haha. Sometimes it's good to stick the camera away and just take it in

Thanks @VisitScotlandAmanda. We definitely are. Had a fantastic morning up Calton Hill last week and was one of many enjoying the sky and views  

I would recommend sunrise up Calton Hill to any visitors to Edinburgh at any time of year   ...and sunset!

I’d love to share some of my recent pics from up on the north coast! Unfortunately because I’m quite new, I don’t think I can post photos. But the sunsets around 3pm in Caithness are wonderful.

To be fair @johnmurrayjnr there aren't many times I venture out without at least one camera and a selection of lenses. 

Here are a couple from Monday's jaunt up Kinnoull Hill in Perthshire. The sky was like a muted pastel painting with a pinch of fog.

I've been struggling to get out of late but I did manage to grab a quick shot of this double rainbow over Loch Fleet near Embo earlier on this month. I'm a little narked that I didn't get the whole arc of the second rainbow in shot!

@LochNessPhotography ah but that’s incredible! Lovely photo

Thanks @scothighlands . I was out early this morning to catch the fog as it rolled through Inverness and out towards the Moray Firth. It was absolutely baltic but totally worth the frozen fingers!
