Hello darkness my old friend...

Of all my images, I dont think I will tire of seeing this one. It was pure fluke,I had dropped mum off and it was almost dark as I drove along the Stray. I stopped off half way down and slipped down onto the pitch black beach. The breakers were rolling in, with their tips illuminated by distant street lights.

With Simon and Garfunkel still echoing through my mind, I knew as I took it that it was going to be something special. After a few more grab shots in different directions I packed up the tripod and headed home.

Post processing brought it to life - with the GreyCStation plugin giving a soft, kind of dreamy look to the surf.

I think this is probably my favourite shot I have taken.
