Indian Summer

We have been enjoying some great weather recently. In addition there have been some beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Last week I had to go to Arisaig in the evening and was fortunate to arrive there at sunset. The clear blue sky became tinged with yellow and orange which was  mirrored in the calm sea. On the horizon the islands began to fade in to the haze. It was sublime!
It is hard to convey the beauty of the area; The combination of the rocky coast, the sea and the islands of Eigg and Rum in the distance are unbeatable. I took lots of photographs but unfortunately didn't have time to do a sketch on the spot.
