Torrisdale Bay

Torrisdale Bay is situated on the north coast of Scotland close to the tiny village of Bettyhill. This beautiful sweep of sand runs for over a mile and is backed by an extensive dune system and salt march. It is also a popular surfing spot and on this particular morning the huge waves crashing ashore were indicative of the tremendous wind speed which made conditions for photography marginal at best. Fortunately I was able to find a degree of shelter behind a dry stone dyke which allowed me to photograph the windswept bay and turbulent sky above.
