Fire Breakers

Traigh Mhor, Harris, Scotland

Traigh Mhor is my favourite Harris beach and is a great location for sunsets. On the evening we went down to the beach the waves were crashing and the wind was blowing lifting paricles of yellow sand to blow in pulsating ribbons across the beach. Then there was the light and oh my what light! I am rarely lost for words but it was so extraordinarily beautiful. The wind whipped the spray back off walls of turquoise breakers which turned to fire as the setting sun turned each and every droplet into fiery smoke. This is a horrible nightmare to expose but some how with speed, experience and good fortune I got something I am hugely proud of.
