Luskentyre in Snow

Photo: Dusting of snow on Luskentyre beach, Isle of Harris, Western Isles, Scotland I was wandering the beach at low tide, waiting for the low winter sun to emerge from the clouds.  I found this small little ridge in the sand covered by a light dusting of snow from the last squall to pass through, […]

Isle of Skye Winter

This is from summer in Yosemite’s Tuolumne meadows.  As scenic at the Sierra are in mid summer, I […]
