Uploader's Comments

Inchkeith, basking in the last hour of the short December day, viewed from Portobello Promenade. Sun very low in the sky as we approach the Winter Solstice, so even on a clear day like this it's so low the light quality is stretched out to this warm, honeyed copper tone, which is just beautiful
