St Ninian' s Sunset



St Ninan's is always a special place to visit. In the summer you may find it difficult to park, yet the beauty of winter is only seen by a few
The Sun has moved south in winter creating different photo opportunities and also the tombolo is often cut off




 

A green flash from the sun, normally difficult to capture as there is a cloud bank often seen blocking the sun as it sinks




Have a happy New Year, hope to post many more photos this coming year
