Sunset in Perthshire, Scotland
There was a completely clear sky last night, and a superb sunset in Newtyle, Perthshire. These trees made a lovely silhouette as the sun went down.

Dusk on Lismore
There’s a wee abandoned croft at Sailean on the North side of Lismore, near the community hall. It’s a lovely spot for watching the sun go down.
Luskentyre sunset
For anyone who visits Harris in the Outer Hebrides in Scotland, the beaches are a definite draw. Luskentyre is possibly the best known of the Harris beaches. At low tide, it’s an enormous expanse of golden sand. And it has the benefit, as it is on the west of the island, of some pretty photogenic sunsets as well.

Calm after the storm
Yesterday I announced an opportunity for a charity based in Scotland, for early 2012. The website has been going a bit mad since.
Time for a calm moment, I think!

Sunset at Cramond
Yesterday the Innertube Map was launched online as thunder rumbled overhead and a downpour hit the city.
I’m one of 11 volunteers who have been working on creating a series of blog stories, which relate to the different lines and stops on the map. We’ve been learning how to use a raft of technology, and some of the ins and outs of good blogging. Now that the map is live, members of the public can also add their own posts, videos, audio or photos.
I decided to go out and mark day one of the online map by taking my bike and camera down one of the Innertube routes that I haven’t been along in a very long time. I headed down the brown line, and made my way to Cramond boat club, just as dusk was falling.
In contrast to the earlier torrential rain and thunderstorms, it was a lovely still evening, with just a hint of colour in the sky.

Sunset over Loch Linnhe
Sunset over Loch Linnhe, Scotland
I was looking through a whole load of photos from around Scotland last week, looking for images to use for Mairi Campbell’s CD launch event in May. I came across this one, which I took during my first visit to one of her Lismore Fiddle Retreat weekends. It made for a lovely peaceful lull before the evening house ceilidh started.

Dusk over the Union canal
One of my favourites from this week – a chance photo taken on my way to choir rehearsal last night. Now that the evenings are getting lighter, it’s that perfect time of night for catching the sun going down.

Sunset colours
This one ended up looking more like a volcano than a sunset. Cracking evening colours one evening on Taransay.
