Description
Imagine the scene, it’s 4.30 am, I’m on a high cliff above Port Na Ba on the Isle of Mull. The seals on the rocks in the Loch are emitting an eerie howling noise, the cuckoos are cooking their coos and one of the sheep is coughing like a 40 a day veteran! The alarm went off a quarter of an hour ago and it was a real test of willpower to drag myself out of a nice warm bed. Now I’m up and out in the early morning light, seeing the sky grow ever pinker behind the Isle of Rum, I now know why I’m a landscape photographer and it’s still an hour before sunrise. There’s very little wind and it’s not even cold and all seems peaceful in my world. I hang on an hour until the sun rises over the Ardnamurchan hills and then it’s back to bed until breakfast time when I can become a holiday maker again until the evening.
