Natures Lighthouse

Aberdeen, Scotland

One of those nights when you go out in hope of something special happening
There was a tinge of red in the sky but never expected the deep red fireball to appear like it did
Taken at the foot of the Aberdeen lighthouse looking back over the city
Ironic as the sun acted like natures lighthouse with the long drawn reflections

There is a poignancy about this - the natural in the rocks, plants and the sun alongside the out of focus manmade with the lighthouse and the city. Skilfully executed and strangely moving.

Fantastic work. The foreground is my favorite part, flowers and lichen so pale compared to the firey background. Beautiful. BV

Clever composition - lovely shot, but I am certain we can rely on natures lighthouse after the weekend we have just had!

Stunning image. I particularly like that you have kept in the Thrift and rocks in the foreground when there might have been a temptation to concentrate on the sky alone.
