The Island of Eigg in the blue-hour

The Island of Eigg in the blue-hour
After two days of travel we finally arrive at our destination just on the outskirts of Mallaig. Our big cottage window and garden looks out onto this scene which I took within hours of getting here. This boat turned out to be a regular visitor here as it heads towards Mallaig, only a short distance away.

The views are breathtaking. The light is a delight to the senses. You are truly privileged to have these views from your window. Best wishes, Anton.

Thanks Anton. It was only to be for a week but as you say we really did feel privileged with views like this from inside and outside. In the evenings our two settees here faced this view and so often we did nothing but relax and gaze out to watch the few fishing boats pass by as the sun set. See tomorrows photo.

Best wishes and keep cool. Herb

Eigg has such an unmistakeable shape! In this silvery light the view looks very beautiful. It must have been great to enjoy such a view out of the window!

Yes, it cannot be mistaken. We would have liked to explore the Island but the main ferry there went on the same day as our trip to Rum. I imagine you too have had such views from some of your many Icelantic stays. Glad you liked it.

Best wishes and keep cool. Herb

Ah Güni, you know, like me, that light is everything in a landscape and indeed a seascape. The light changed all the time here but for a week we were blessed. Glad you liked it.

I'd love to be there now, out of this inferno that we know as England. Beautiful silver light.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Amelia club
Yes, it's much cooler up there at the moment at around 19C whilst it is 31C here at our house in Oldham. Our continental neighbours have it even warmer, 39C in Paris. Better by weekend hopefully. Glad you liked this one that certainly looks colder than it does around here at the moment.

Cheers. Herb

Yes, your kind of place too, i know. We were lucky to find this cottage but had a clue as my brother-in-law had stopped here too some years back and raved about it. I would go again tomorrow but the latest summer rents are amazingly high. Cheers for the star.
Hope you get yourself back to normal soon.

Keep well and cool. Herb
