The Sound of Jura

by Gary McGhee

Gallery: LandscapePosted July 3, 2014723 views10 comments
Taken back in October on my short break up to the West Coast of Scotland. I was out and about exploring some regions I hadn't been to before and found this scene developing over the Sound of Jura whilst near Kilberry. The passing storm lasted about ten minutes, enough time for me to try and grab a few photo's.

All feedback is welcome, good or bad and thanks for looking.

Gary.

Moooody love this highland light and weather. Probably an acquired taste for many folk.

Beautiful light on the water Gary. Nice comp. Good job showing the venturis as well. I like this very much. No suggestions.

A nice minimalist scene.
Maybe a bit too dark at the top, but very effective.

I think this is very cool, Gary. My favorite scotch at present is Jura, not sure how that relates, but I like to think it does. Very nice.

Thanks for the comments everyone,

Gary, this does relate as your Jura scotch would have been made over on the Island which is the first land mass you can see with the Isle of Islay behind..

Cheers, Gary.
