Zig zag moods - A long exposure at sunset of 'The blocks', the iconic zig zag breakwater on the outer sea wall at St Monans.
The rough conditions with the waves crashing over the breakwater take on a somewhat luminous moody appearance from the long exposure, whilst the approaching sunset allows some colour to develop in the sky.
Bass Rock is just visible on the distant horizon catching the last rays of sunlight though a gap in the clouds.

Far west - Sunset at Neist Point, looking out across the Minch.
The narrow, rocky finger that is home to Neist Point lighthouse, is the furthest west you can travel in mainland UK without having to board a ferry. A location that’s hard to beat as one of the best places in the UK to witness sunset, especially so when decent conditions prevail as I was lucky enough to experience.
