The Gulf Stream is an amazing thing, ain't? Let's hope it keeps on pumping.

That is Castle Stalker, right?
Taken from the Visitor center on the hill - but it looks like you are WAY closer?
First time I've seen it at low tide!

It must be well "watered down" by the time it gets here... as this was the only one I found.

Just my "Special Lady” (SMC Pentax-A 50mm F1.2) with a slight crop to straighten.

In which case you will see it at low tide after about 6 hours and see it at high tide again as you go home!

I guess it all depends when you arrive, but with my timing you get to see it all.

Is this not a contradiction in terms? This had to have been Photoshopped. The tourist trade will rise now in Scotland since this photo has hit the internet well done.

Certainly is.

Had I not have been standing there in front of it... I would've had to agree with you. But it will be interesting to see if it's still alive next year.

I know I'm fighting off the screaming hoards just now as we speak, all on their way to see my wee local beasty.
