Picturesque Plockton at Dusk: A Trip of a Lifetime

I’d beem dreaming of doing the Scottish Grand Tour for long time, and researched and booked the accommodation months before.

The weather forecast a couple of days beforehand was incredibly bad, and I even considered cutting my losses and cancelling. But I’m so pleased that I didn’t. It was a trip of a lifetime in so many ways.

At the end of May I set off on the rail tour from Edinburgh via Perth, Dunkeld and Inverness to picturesque Plockton on the west coast of Scotland. When I arrived after an amazing train journey there was a torrential rainfall so I relaxed in my cozy B&B and read a book. By the evening Mother Nature played along and gave me stunning dusk moments and these amazing reflections.

The last rays of the setting sun lit up the picturesque shore at Plockton and the waters of the Loch Carron estuary. I had to fight off the pesky midges on this calm evening but this view was well worth it.

Heraklion Harbour Sunset

On the last evening of our wonderful Crete holiday we stayed over in historic Heraklion, the island’s largest city and administrative capital.

I’d deliberately chosen a hotel on the edge of the Old Town within walking distance of the fascinating Venetian Harbour, dating back to the 13th century. I arrived at the harbour just in time to enjoy the last rays of the sun just before it disappeared behind the mountains beyond the bay. As the yachts and boats bobbed on the golden dusk waters, my heart throbbed a little faster. Quite a breathtaking sight. And I clicked away with my camera:-)

Then it was time to head back to a traditional taverna for their welcoming hospitality and local Cretian delicacies.

Alpine Winter Dusk

Illuminated by the last golden rays of the winter sun, the three imposing peaks on the northern edge of the Hochries mountain region – Aschauer Kopf (1076m), Rohnerkopf (1047m) and Fellerer (907m) – reflect in the cool waters of at the end of Lake Chiem.

It was breathtaking and very calming too standing there that evening on the lakeside near the small village of Bernau, Bavaria, Germany.

Dusk Light over the Marina

After an unusually long cold spell, suddenly the summer came back and I took an overnight trip to one of the picturesque lakes west of Munich. And I was rewarded with warm, sultry weather and a fab sunset from the hotel’s private beach.

Imagine sitting back and relaxing on the lake shore with a glass of wine or a cool beer and enjoying Nature’s evening light show. Lake Wörth, Bavaria, Germany.
