Beautiful evening climbing at the Hawcraig, at Aberdour tonight. I love how the Firth of Forth looks almost enclosed like a sea loch from this angle. The gorse are always spectacular in May.

Later on, Edinburgh windows shone orange reflecting the setting sun.

The last lot of photos from our week around the East Neuk of Fife.

This area is Fife Ness, the easternmost point of the East Neuk of Fife. There's a lot of golfing to be had here, but we were more interested in the beachs and rocks around this gorgeous coastline https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/3/15/fife-ness-east-neuk-of-fife-scotland-winter

A rugged rocky outcrop at Fife Ness in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. The large boulders exhibit a warm reddish-brown hue, with some areas showing greenish tinges, possibly from algae or lichen. The rocks are irregularly shaped and weathered, creating a textured surface. In the foreground, fine white sand curves around the base of the rocks, with gentle wave patterns etched into it by the tide. The background reveals a tranquil sea, reflecting a clear blue sky, while hints of grassy hills can be seen in the distance.

A rugged landscape of weathered rock formations at Fife Ness, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. The foreground features large, flat rocks with intricate, wavy patterns etched into their surfaces, displaying shades of dark brown and grey. Some areas are adorned with patches of green, hinting at moss or seaweed. In the background, the sea glistens under the sunlight, with gentle waves lapping at the rocky shore. Additional boulders can be seen scattered across the water, contributing to the natural, untamed beauty of the coastal scene.

A striking rock formation at Fife Ness in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. The textured surface of the rocks exhibits a variety of colours, including grey, orange, and soft pink, with fluid, wavy patterns that suggest natural erosion over time. A shallow pool of water, tinted with green, is nestled among the rocks, reflecting the sunlight and the surrounding landscape. In the background, the sea stretches out towards the horizon, merging seamlessly with a clear blue sky, enhancing the serene yet rugged coastal atmosphere.

A wrinkled rock formation at Fife Ness, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. The foreground features an array of large, weathered rocks, characterised by their layered texture and shades of brown, grey, and orange. Some sections are smooth, while others exhibit deep grooves and ridges, creating a dramatic interplay of light and shadow. A small pool of water reflects the surrounding landscape, adding a touch of serenity to the otherwise rugged terrain. In the background, the calm sea meets a clear blue sky, enhancing the natural beauty of this coastal scene.

St Salvator's Quadrangle at the University of St Andrews, featuring a picturesque scene with historic stone buildings and a tall clock tower. The quadrangle is filled with lush green grass, where a group of people are seated, enjoying the outdoors. The buildings display intricate architectural details, including large windows and decorative elements, with some areas adorned with pink banners. In the foreground, a neatly paved path leads through the well-maintained gardens, lined with flower beds. Above, the sky is bright with scattered clouds, enhancing the inviting atmosphere of the university setting.

Buddo Rock at Buddo Ness, featuring impressive rock formations with intricate textures and colours. The towering red and orange hues of the stone contrast against a clear blue sky. A prominent archway is visible, formed by two large, weathered rock pillars that rise dramatically from the grassy ground. The surrounding area is dotted with tufts of grass, enhancing the natural setting, while the distant coastline can be glimpsed beyond the rock formations, adding to the scene's rugged beauty.

The ruins of St Andrews Castle, showcasing a weathered stone structure with remnants of walls and openings. The castle's stones are unevenly placed, with moss and lichen visible on some surfaces, hinting at its age. In the background, a blue sky with wispy clouds adds a serene atmosphere. A winding path made of wooden slats leads through the grassy area in front of the castle, guiding the viewer's eye towards the entrance of the structure, which features an arched doorway.

Another view of Buddo Rock at Buddo Ness, highlighting the unique geological formations of the area. The towering rock structure showcases an array of colours, including deep blacks, earthy reds, and soft greens, with intricate textures that suggest years of erosion. The sunlight casts gentle shadows, accentuating the contours of the rock. In the background, the coastline is visible, meeting the calm sea under a clear blue sky. The surrounding grass adds a natural element, contributing to the wild and rugged beauty of the landscape.

Walked for around an hour up a cliff to catch this, well worth the effort.

Red Sky In The Morning

One of the things I love most about our house in #Fife is that my bedroom window faces south, and I get to see beauty like this some mornings when I open the curtains.

This is why I keep a camera upstairs - for the only thing that delays my vital first coffee!

@photography

A colour photo of a dawn. The foreground is at the bottom of the panorama and consists of a row of trees and a couple of unlit street-lights. The sky is filled by stripes and swirls of cloud, some tattered and wispy, other quite solid, all touched by the warm colours of the sunrise. The palette is from an orangey-yellow, through umber and orange to a light brown. A small part of the sky is clear of cloud, and is a pale cyan.

Sharing a few drams leads to £158,914 whisky bar bill

I wish I had been invited (as a non paying guest of course)

Blair Bowman, a whisky expert, said he expected the guests to be “high net-worth individuals' - that or the card bounced... Where do they find these 'informed' commentators?

Happy New Year, everyone!

Dawn at 8:30am in mid-January, and the sky is full of colour.
Seen from my bedroom window in #Fife, eastern #'Scotland.

A photo of the sky with trees and streetlights at the bottom of the shot. The cloud cover is total, no cyan or blue is visible. The cloud deck is brightly lit from beneath by the rising sun with the intense colours of fire. The palette ranges from a pale lemon yellow in the bottom left corner, through strong shades of yellow and orange to a brownish red on the right. It's gorgeous.

Happy St Andrew's Day! Scotland's patron saint is St Andrew and his feast day is celebrated by both eastern and western Christian churches on 30 November. The picture is of St Andrews. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/usbiography/a/standrew.html

The image shows the town of St Andrews in Fife as seen from the top of St Rule's Tower, giving an almost aerial perspective from the east. The remains of the cathedral are in the lower part of the frame and rooftops and church towers extend into the distance, with fields and hills in the background. The sky is light blue.

Posted 26 photos: #aurora from #fife 10th October 2024

Worked late, and was rewarded by finally getting to see the aurora from Scotland! And better than when I was in Finland tbh. Went down to the beach, and as soon as I was clear of lamp posts it was super vivid. Sat out freezing for an hour and a half, watching it ripple around the sky.

https://rhiaro.co.uk/2024/10/photos-aurora #northernlights

Red and green smears across the sky, with a few dots of light visible from stars

Green and red aurora streaks, reflected in the still sea. Lights from a village across the water in the distance.

Green and red streaks of aurora mingle above the sea. A few small dark clouds and bright star specs add drama.

Bright red streaks surrounded by fuzzier green, take up the whole night sky. Reflected in a calm sea.
