The ‘Split Rocks’ of Clachtoll

Another coastal fishing and crofting village just about 8km north of Achmelvich, here in Assynt, Sutherland. Another spot where the light paints the landscape differently every few seconds. We see here an interesting new fence and stile which takes us on over the headland to the old broch. Unfortunately you miss-out on the fabulous white sandy bay and the broch in this shot, but I hope to correct that soon.
Enjoy full size.

Have a great weekend. Herb

Very happy that you like this one. I have another from here which has better, more atmospheric weather but no fence. Hope to post that too in the future. I know what you mean about mystery.

HFF, enjoy the weekend.

This seems like an odd place to have a fence and style.................but having said that they fit beautifully into the landscape.

Fabulous light as always............and the colour of the water is sublime. Another outstanding image Herb.

I hope you're having a lovely day and are looking forward to the weekend.
