Ardrossan Sunset
The great thing about staying on the coast is that I can watch and see how a sunset develops and nip out and within 10 minutes I am ready to capture it. You can tell over the course of the afternoon/ early evening if the sunset is going to look any good. I watched this big bank of cloud roll in as the sunset drew nearer. I was hoping for the sun to set just before the cloud hit the top of the isle of Arran in the distance which would have meant the whole sky would have been lit up with the underside of the clouds going pink and purple. It would have been pretty spectacular had it happened, unfortunately it’s not always like that. The bank of cloud moved a bit quicker than expected and the setting sun never got the chance to light up the underside of the clouds. What I did get though was a touch of colour on the horizon and a pretty impressive menacing sky. The sky did bring with it big splodges of rain, which luckily didn’t come down too heavy until after I had packed up and the sun had set completely.
The location for this shot was along Ardrossan North Shore. This is supposed to be a wreckage of an old ship but I’m not one hundred percent sure if it is or not. It does still make good foreground interest though.
Snow in Ardrossan
This is the view from a couple of days ago. I woke up in the morning to see that overnight a couple of inches of snow had fallen. It was a lovely crisp morning so I ventured out down to the shorefront to get this shot. This is Ardrossan South Beach and in the distance is the Isle of Arran.
Ardrossan Sunsets
Another trip through the archive. This post was inspired by a recent comment regarding Ardrossan sunsets. I realised that a lot of them were either sitting on my hard drive or on my pbase site. So here are another 2 or 3 old images from the great summer of 2006.

Sunset at Ardrossan
A picture from last week. I was sitting in my house watching the sun go down and decided to rush out and capture it. Time from my house to this location…less than 10 minutes. I was out, got the sunset, and back in the house all in under an hour. Never mind hanging around for the sunset like I usually do, everything was all a rush. It worked out OK in the end though. This is taken from Ardrossan North Shore looking towards the Isle of Arran, the snow covered peaks are the remnants of last weeks snow.
Ardrossan Sunset
A sunset taken from the North Shore, Ardrossan. I am lucky to be only about 3 miles from here, so if the sunset is looking as if it would be good, I can get out for an hour or so to capture it. In the distance is the Isle of Arran.
