Photographer’s Note

Ayrshire (Scottish Gaelic: Siorrachd Inbhir Àir) is a county of south-west Scotland, located on the shores of the Firth of Clyde. Its principal towns include Ayr, Kilmarnock and Irvine. The town of Troon on the coast has hosted the British Open Golf Championship twice in the last seven years, eight times in total, including the most recent one in 2004.

Ayrshire is one of the most agriculturally fertile regions of Scotland. Potatoes are grown in fields near the coast, using seaweed-based fertiliser, and in addition the region produces pork products, other root vegetables, cattle and summer berries such as strawberries are grown abundantly.

The area used to be heavily industrialised, with steel making, coal mining and in Kilmarnock numerous examples of production-line manufacturing, most famously Johnnie Walker whisky.

Beside that, Ayrshire has a truly beautiful coastline, with lovely views overlooking Island of Arran and Firth of Clyde.

And all these beautiful views are just about an hour drive from busy city of Glasgow.

Cheers

Hi Piotr,

Brill! That sky is a stunner but the wonderful rivulets of sand and water in the foreground elevate this to something special.

Cheers!

Hello Piotr,

The patterns in the sand are great and I love that big swirling motion from bottom right to middle left and then back up towards the sun going down. Excellent photography!

Hello Piotr,
the sand pattern kissed by that beautiful ray of light is what makes the compo stunning. The sky really helped you, it's awesome and gives you a beautiful depth. Beautiful, truly beautiful.

Hi Piotr

Splendid landscape in capture. The contrast and soft light offer clarity at all level, I always say Canon is the best. So natural like the eyes.

Thank to share
