Castle Stalker Sunset

Backblip: Ever since its appearance in Monty Python and the Holy Grail as Castle Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh I've been fascinated by Castle Stalker. I've photographed it before in the daylight but this time I planned to ge a sunset shot or two...

I spent well over an hour sat on the beach awaiting for the sun to go down and the sky to light up...sheer bliss! Such a wonderful view and so peaceful. I took over a hundred shots and my favourites are this one and this one.

The smoke you can see isn't volcanic ash from Iceland but rather smoke from burning heather on the hillside on Ardnamurchan behind the Castle.
