Moss Beach in the gloaming, aye!

This shot was taken from the deck at the home of my friends Spike and Danny in Moss Beach. Not a shabby view, I reckon. The ocean is constantly fascinating. It's never the same; the light, the surf, the activity of boats and birds, is always different.

I was up at Spike and Danny's for Burns night, a Scottish cultural tradition. A group gathers and sings songs, recites Robert Burns' poetry, samples Scottish food, drinks lots and lots of toasts, and generally enjoys being Scottish for a night, no matter what your other nationality may be. We had two expert musicians to lead us in the songs, one wearing a kilt, and it was all great fun.
