Picture Details
This photo shows two icons of the Cromarty Firth.
Firstly, there's the Fyrish Monument, which sits at the top of Fyrish Hill, between Evanton and Alness, in Ross-Shire, Scotland.
If you look carefully down onto the Cromarty Firth, you will see an oil rig - which in the later part of the 20th Century played a large part in the economic survival of the area. Firstly, in the building of the oil rigs at Nigg Bay, and latterly the refurbishment of the rigs at Invergordon.
When I set out in the morning I didn't expect to take this photo, as it was before sunrise and didn't look promising. It was a cold, frosty, January morning. As I climbed Fyrish Hill, the sun started coming up over the Black Isle and by the time I reached the top, it was perfectly positioned for this shot.
I really would like to say I suffered for my art, and that I sat at the top of the hill for hours on end, on a cold January morning - but that wouldn't be exactly true! If you want to see further photos taken on the same day please look at the Lochan photos, and "Fyrish in Shadow".
