Tangerine Mellon

Mellon Udrigle, Laide, Scotland

Just occasionally Mellon Udrigle pays off handsomely at both ends of the day and on this occasion a phenomenally good sky lit up behind our wee group of photographers and the clouds reflected all that light onto the beach whilst the setting sun painted the mountains of Coigach, Suilven and the Inverpolly reserve scarlet. I found a very simple low amplitude foreground to use with this scene that ensured that nothing dominated attention but never-the-less gently guides you to the mountain line at the horizon. That same sky became even more intense later on but the mountains receded into darkness in the twilight.
