Description

The sun finds a momentary hole in the clouds, illuminating Castle Stalker as seen from near the south end of Jubilee Bridge during a low tide. I searched for the clearest, largest reflection I could find in that moment and snapped this fantastic shot just before the light passed on. One thing that was so striking about Scotland is how quickly the clouds move, which makes the light shift equally fast…a scene can appear completely different from minute to minute. Castle Stalker is a partial ruin – it has a roof which helps protect it somewhat from decay, but the windows have no glass or covering so the elements still get inside. It’s position on a small island in Loch Linnhe gives Castle Stalker a forbidden quality to those on the shore, and a sense of loneliness. I imagine any children who may have resided there would have been quite bored after a time.

I offer select photographs, those right-place-right-time images that really shine, as Limited Edition prints. Only 25 prints of this image will be produced (regardless of chosen media or print size), after which the image will become unavailable. Limited Edition prints take a little longer to produce as each print is numbered signed, and dated on the back to guarantee authenticity.
