  • Just some photos from the beach...

    I got back home yesterday from a week's holiday on the Isle of Mull. After crossing back onto the mainland I decided to take a longer but stunning route home again, with a short diversion to one of the most beautiful places on planet Earth, and just for a change the weather was with me. I'm posting these to make you lot drool with envy (yes the water really is that colour! ) and although some of you may know where it is, for those who don't I am prepared for a consideration to disclose the location.

    But a word of caution if you do undertake a pilgrimage - my camera nearly wouldn't let me leave. It refused to stop clicking, pulling me this way and that up and down the beach, dragging its heels and throwing a tantrum each time I tried to take it back to the car. I had a vision of my bleached skeleton being found many months from now, half buried in the pure white sand and still clutching an E5 with a full memory card and an empty battery...

    Here's why:














    It was a particularly busy day for this beach - I counted four other people. And a dog.

        For once the water is more beautiful than the sky, lovely colours.

          Great shots, no wonder your camera refused to leave. There ought to be a law against NOT taking pictures at a location like that.

            As Bob would say, Morar is not the name on the card...

                Great shots. I've spent a lot of time on Mull but never got anything like these. Very envious!

                  Methinks I know the place. I was there last year and managed to get a puncture near the lighthouse – that's a long drive home on a space saver...

                    Thanks Jon. I've got a lot of pics to go through as you can imagine.
                    These ones weren't actually taken on Mull itself.

                    ...a long and winding road indeed.

                    I think you've got it Mike! In which case I'm sure you'll agree with me about it being one of the most beautiful beaches in the country.

                      Like the skies in the third and fourth and the foreground in the last.
                      It's the image that's important, not the tools used to make it.

                          Superb Images David, I know what you mean about the colour of the water, I have witnessed it elsewhere on the West Coast, but further North.
                          I am pretty sure I know where this is (headland of the great seas), but have yet to make the journey, maybe this is the year?

                            Spot on Iain. It is well worth the trip, even if it's about 30 miles of winding single track road!

                              I'm guessing you took the small ferry from Tobermoray to Kilchoan and these pictures were possibly taken at Sanna Bay?
