Saltcoats Sunset

admin — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:50:39 +0000

Another nice day on Saturday. As the afternoon wore on the conditions looked good for some shots. I decided to head out for an hour or so down to the beach at Saltcoats to try and capture the sunset.
In the end I was rewarded with a bank of cloud moving in, which was turned an angry shade of red for about 5 minutes after the sun had set behind the Isle of Arran. Another trip well worthwhile, especially when it’s only a couple of minutes down the road.

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.

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.

The Old Ship.

Stoney Ground.

Golden sunset.

Todays archive post is from 2007 and is of a Saltcoats Sunset. Another quick trip out to catch the sunset, which wasn’t too bad.

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.

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.
