PADDY AND I HEADED OFF TO SCOTLAND WITH OUR CAMERAS AND PAINTS AND LOTS OF WARM CLOTHES. WE DIDN'T NEED THE JUMPERS FOR THE FIRST FEW DAYS - THE WEATHER WAS INCREDIBLE, MAKING PHOTOGRAPHY QUITE TRICKY FOR PADDY... I WASN'T COMPLAINING THOUGH!
THE LIGHT ON THE NORTH WEST COAST WAS STUNNING, PURE AND POSITIVE FEELING. WE HAD A LITTLE COTTAGE NEXT TO A BEAUTIFUL PINK SAND BEACH. THE LICHEN IN THE GRASS WAS AN ALMOST ACID GREEN, WHICH MADE THE PINK COLOUR SING EVEN MORE. WE COULD SEE ACROSS TO THE RIDGE OF STAC POLLAIDH AND I SPENT A LONG TIME SKETCHING THE SHAPE OF THE MOUNTAINS ON MY HORIZON.
