The title describes the feeling I had on a gorgeous winter morning at Mellon Udrigle which is probably my favourite mainland Scottish beach. It is quite rare to have a mountain backdrop on the horizon, rarer still to find the mountains dusted with snow so close to the coast and equally unusual to have such a perfect winter morning to enjoy it. Not a blemish on the beach newly swept clean, caramel coloured rocks melting into the sand. It really was sublime and after a few chosen shots I just sat there nestled between dune grass enjoying the moment.
