Took this shot a few weeks ago on
Seilebost Beach, on the Isle of Harris.
We spent a week on the Isle of Harris (Outer Hebrides) and believe it or not, this was the very first shot I took when we arrived and no, I didn't use an ND grad, the clouds really were that dark and menacing. In fact it started to rain heavily soon after taking this shot and then continued to do so without a break, for the next 24 hours.
Took several other shots during the week of course, but none turned out as good as this one.
