This photo was taken almost 1 year ago.

It was really difficult to find a good weather for photography at that time. Last year’s summer was certainly a very dissapointing one.

After a long time of inactivity (and a few completely hopeless trips) I was really desperate for another one.

This trip scenario was (if I can say) quite usual. As the Sun (during summer months) sets around 22:00 it means going out about 19:00 (taking into account the driving distance to this place and safe margin for spot look around).

Most of my trips are planned rather than spontaneous. I keep in mind the place location, time of a day, sun position and of course weather – if you can really depend on such forecasts in this country :D. I also check the tide level, wind direction (just to avoid sea spray covering my lenses) etc. At the end I can rely only on the tide forecast :) - because everything else is a lottery and usually my frustration grows even stronger.

This time, after a long period of heavy rains and completely unpredictable weather it was supposed to be quite calm in the evening. Forecasted 'low level clouds' usually doesn't mean anything good, but with a small chance of light breaking up the clouds there can be an amazing spectacle.

Luckily this time I found a light I was waiting for - and for that special moment I was ready with my cable release in my hand.

PS. You may find a small triangular island on the horizon. It’s Ailsa Craig – a natural reserve for many sea birds.
