Yesterday we had a lovely trip to Corran on the shores of Loch Hourn with our good friends Helen and Tich.  The main purpose of the trip was to experience the fantastic fish and chips at Sheena's Tea Hut, which lived up to its reputation.  However, despite it being a somewhat hazy day I took the camera along hoping to get some good shots of an area I have not been to very often.  In the end I got these shots, some of which are OK, but from a photographic perspective the best outcome is probably that it was a worthwhile recce for future trips when the light is better.  That being said, the fist image, taken on the way back to Glenelg, did nicely capture the patchy light coming through the increasing clouds and lighting up the sea on the Sound of Sleat.
