Golden autumn trees reflect on the still waters of Loch Leven as a lone canoeist glides beneath snow-capped peaks and soft Highland skies.

A photograph of a calm Highland lake surrounded by golden autumn trees, their bright leaves mirrored in the still water below. A single canoeist glides quietly across the loch, appearing small against the backdrop of tall, snow-dusted mountains in the distance. Above, a soft morning sky adds to the sense of peace and stillness in the scene.

European Pine Marten (Martes martes): This mammal has retractable claws which enable it to climb trees & run along tree branches in the arboreal habitats of Northern Europe.

Good morning #BlueSky ☕️ & welcome to Arklow on the South East coast of Ireland for this one. Have a glorious day friends ☺️ #BlueSkyMonday #Photography #EastCoastKin #PhotographyOfBlueSky #PhotographersOfBlueSky #CoastalPhotography #Ireland #Arklow #Harbour #Fishing #Boats #Summer #ClearSkies #Monday

The picture shows a harbour scene taken in the Summer of 2017 in a place called Arklow on the South East coast of Ireland.

Working from the bottom of our picture upwards we have the grey concrete of the walkway of the harbour cutting through at a 35° angle from left or right.

Then we have a mixture of about 5 small fishing boats that are moored within the harbour right in front of us. They are a mixture of bright colours of whites,reds and blues.

Their white antennas and radio masts pierce the sky and as we look closer, the harbour sweeps around from right to left with a whole host of other boats of similar sizes, colours and shapes.

We can also see the opposing side of this giant dock with more boats that are moored and also small buildings that service the harbour.

In the extreme far distance, we can just about make out the mountains that surround this Arklow coastal area.

Above the entire scene is a flawless blue sky that is just the very lightest shade of blue at the horizon point. It then gets deeper and bolder in that gorgeous blue colour the further up the sky you go as we see it here.

And finally, the whole scene is bathed in beautiful Summer sunlight with a white thin border frame to finish.

My sunset app told me there was a 2% chance of a nice sunset tonight. I will take 2% anytime if they look like this! I was out testing my new camera in low light and had to run to catch this one! #photography #EastCoastKin #Guelph
