Shore --- Line
I really hope I'm not boring you guys with all these seascapes. I find it very theraputic and slightly exhillarting going out and taking them. As I have stated before it just isn't as much fun now if I come home from a photo shoot and I haven't been soaked.

City of Dundee by Night
3 second exposure capture of Dundee, Scotland, just after sunset.
This picture was taken from across the Firth of Tay, which feeds into the North Sea.
Part of my Scotland set,
Dundee used to be a town full of mills, mainly exporting jute and other fabrics, which were used for ship sails, potato sacks and more, business boomed in Dundee during several wars, when they were required to make boating sails. Dundee also had a huge shipbuilding industry, mainly building whaling ships that could withstand becoming stuck in the Arctic ice. Dundee is also nicknamed 'City of Discovery', as it was the place where the ship RRS Discovery, a research ship that went to the Antarctic, and remained ice-locked for two years, was built. Discovery is still in Dundee today.

It's fitting that the 1000th photo post on this blog is of one of Scotland's most iconic castles basking in the gloaming. To mark the occasion this 1000th shot by Miss.Informed will become the Flickr group's new icon.
Thanks to all the talented Flickr photographers who have contributed to this blog and to those of you who read and enjoy our daily gloamingness. Keep it up! Here's to 2000 posts.

Rise and Fall
While the spray from the waves at Troon splashes up the way, the rain pours from clouds over Arran in the distance.
