Waiting for the sunrise, down by the sea.
It looked as though cloud on the horizon was enough to kill off any sort of sunrise so I set off back to the car. Just then the sun broke through and I had to run up and down the road to get an angle for this shot. The colour comes entirely from sunlight filtered through the atmosphere and the colour saturation has actually been reduced slightly in processing.

Cramond Island is located in the River Forth, near Edinburgh. During WW1 and WW2 the island was fortified for defensive purposes. The island is connected to the shore by a causeway upon which sits a line of concrete pylons, 3m high. These were installed during WW2 to prevent torpedo boats passing between the island and mainland at high tide to attack naval assets upstream. The island is now uninhabited and can be accessed at low tide with a fifteen minute walk along the causeway. In this shot Fife visible in the distance.
