Lochranza sunrise, Isle of Arran, Scotland

THE STORY BEHIND THE PHOTOGRAPH

Boats bob at anchor just outside Lochranza, on the northern tip of the Isle of Arran. I was actually on my way to photograpgh Lochranza Castle at dawn, when I came around a bend in the road, near the ferry terminal just west of Lochranza, and saw this delicious scene. I just had to stop and photograph it! The only other thing I recall about taking this photo was that immediately before I came upon this scene I was driving along the road and came face to face with a herd of wild deer which seem to inhabit the area around Lochranza, They must have been used to humans, for they didn't seem terribly alarmed by my presence, and for ten minutes they grazed, keeping one eye on me, until they decided that it was time to move on.
