More #seaweed from holiday. Gutweed (Ulva intestinalis) is green #alga (plant) often dominating upper-shore #rockpools. Looks a mess out of water, but underwater it's otherworldly: jungle of thin, intestinal tubes, bubbling with oxygen by-product of photosynthesis. Near Morar and on Eigg, Scotland.

Rum from Eigg 2018. The last holiday before my lungs kicked off, when I was running the most I ever had. This was taken on my long run, on a gloriously sunny morning, not long before I got lost amongst a field of cattle.

A watercolour sunset with a low, dark grey foreground, a golden pink horizon and a grey/blue/ochre sky. Painted with cobalt blue, Turners yellow and cadmium red pigment.

Another lovely geology day in the Hebrides. An Sgùrr on Eigg is magic combination of a highly satisfying walk, amazing scenery and a cracking geological detective story (complete with smoking gun).

Pastel Eigg I - Sailean Dubh, Ardtoe, #Ardnamurchan

Sunsets at Ardtoe at this time of year can be quite special. Here’s an image captured on a beautiful May evening, when the last light from the sun painted the sky above the Isle of Eigg, out to the west of Ardtoe, with glorious pastel colours.

Beyond the Channel – Loch Moidart, Ardmolich, #Moidart

Another sunset view of the Isle of Eigg. This time with An Sgùrr sitting beyond the hillsides that form the North Channel of Loch Moidart, all silhouetted against the orange sky of dusk.
