shortly it would begin to rain
Actually, “Shortly it would begin to rain.” could have been the complete weather forecast for the whole time I was in Scotland.
It was almost always about to rain, and this photo was made just before another patch of cold rain fell on us. It wasn’t so bad, once you got used to it. Plus the clouds! They worked hard to enhance the photographs.

before the rainbow
If you squint and/or zoom in, you may be able to see the tiny, faint piece of a rainbow on the far left. Just seconds after I made this photo, a huge, bright rainbow appeared, which resulted in a group of photographers going as fast as they could across wet rocks and slippery seaweed (while carrying cameras and tripods) to get the right angle for The Shot of wrecked boats and a rainbow (which shortly turned into a double rainbow).
Any non-photographers who saw the scramble probably thought, “Photographers are weird.”
They are not wrong, of course. But we’re weird in a nice way.

the ragged end
These boats met their end on the shore of Salen Bay, on the Isle of Mull and now they are a photographic destination. I’m not sure how long they’ve been there, but the boat on the left has a tree growing in it.
