Misty Sea





We have had quite a lot of mist in the Firth of Forth recently.



Sometimes blue and calm .................






and sometimes grey, wild  and noisy ...............




I find this grey weather exhilarating, a feeling of being at one with the elements.

















It's easy to visualize ships from times past sailing by................



Spanish galleons in Scottish waters by Andrew Spratt.



Treasure!

    Terrific shots! Even a grey day is lovely by the seaside. I love the sound of "the Firth of Forth", it just rolls so beautifully off the tongue! Cute pups!

    Looks beautiful and invigorating. I can almost hear the crashing waves and feel the icy tug of the water around my ankles as my feet sink into the wet sand.

    Seeing these seascapes I've imagined myself on the shore ("far away" at our Black Sea)... I remembered the noise made by the waves of the waters, gulls and so on... until I'll go again I thank you for sharing with us these beautiful sea images!! All the best!

    It's a mystery how inspired you might be by what others would call dreadful weather. I guess it is the sea magic... Thanks a lot for sharing.

    The grey larger waves look inviting. Not for a dip but just to wander along and listen to the sound of them as they hit the shore.

    Dear Ruby - I know from experiences that while hearing sound of waves and watching tides, we become one with nature and something happens on our imagination. You showed it how to us visually. I like to be by the shore, no matter how the weather expect typhoon.

    I love your "grey" photos! Sometimes I call myself a "bad weather junkie"! There is nothing more exciting to watch and photograph but black clouds, waves, rain and storm!

    Seeing the movements of waves so up-close makes me feel like I am here. Yes. I could hear the sound of waves, washing against the shore and see the Spanish galleons over there! Thank you for sharing happy times with you and lovely dogs, Ruby.

    Fantastic sea images! The wonderful thing is that each wave is different, there are so many different moods too that the sea can display, and you show us many of them.
