Horgabost beach

Horgabost is a stunning white sandy Hebridean beach. Located on South Harris, this beach has crystal clear green blue water and pristine sands and is slightly sheltered. The beach looks straight out over the Sound of Taransay with the mountains beyond forming a spectacular backdrop. This is adapted from:

It was chilly, windy and rainy the day we were there, yet we managed a few decent photos. The "mountains beyond" were barely visible in person, and merely suggested in the photo.

A beautiful view captured from along the shoreline! The overcast skies really make the colors come aline.

Your description proves to us that even in bad weather, we can take very beautiful photos.
This brings a lot of mystery and it remains very bright and rich in colors.

This shot is better than the one in the link. I like the subdued lighting with the ghostly mountains in the background.

I like the feeling of motion in the water. Green tone comes through very well too. Layers of hazy mountains and clear headland in the background add great depth to the scene.
