From Heaven III – Loch Sunart, Resipole, Sunart . The Milky Way seems to pour down from the heavens above Loch Sunart and spread across the distant hills on this clear autumn night, while a phenomenon called “airglow” adds a green tinge to the night sky. . #VisitScotland #ScotSpirit #outandaboutscotland #LoveScotland #loves_scotland #instascotland #insta_scotland #ukpotd #ig_scot #scotland_greatshots #thisisscotland #igersscots #viewsofscotland #hiddenscotland #ic_landscapes #followmetoscotland #icuscotland #igscotland #gloriousbritain #thisisscotland #repostmyfujifilm #fujiholics #scotland #scottishhighlands #sunart #ardnamurchan #lochsunart #lochaber #nightsky #milkyway #airglow
Ice Veil - Loch Sunart, Resipole, Sunart . On this night, there was just enough light from a first quarter moon to make it possible to see thin, layered Cirrostratus clouds forming a veil high across the night sky over Loch Sunart. . #VisitScotland #outandaboutscotland #myoutdoorcapital #scottishcollective #loves_scotland #scotland_greatshots #thisisscotland #scotland #westhighlandpeninsulas #scottishhighlands #ardnamurchan #sunart #sonya7s #nightscape #longexpo_scotland
Over the Moon - Loch Sunart, Resipole, Sunart . As the moon begins to set way out west beyond the entrance to Loch Sunart, a halo formed by light being scattered by ice crystals in the upper atmosphere frames the moon with an arch of light reaching from one side of the loch to the other. . #VisitScotland #ScotSpirit #outandaboutscotland #LoveScotland #loves_scotland #instascotland #insta_scotland #ukpotd #ig_scot #scotland_greatshots #thisisscotland #igersscots #viewsofscotland #hiddenscotland #ic_landscapes #icuscotland #igscotland #scotlandmagazine #thisisscotland #repostmyfujifilm #fujiholics #fujifeed #scottishhighlands #ardnamurchan #ardgour #westhighlandpeninsulas #lochaber #nightphotography #moonlight #moonset
It’s the start of Meteor Season and the Perseid Meteor Shower peaks tonight. Although the moon will almost be full, you may spot one as some of the meteors are bright enough to be seen even under moonlight. Here’s a photo of one taken on a moonlit night in 2017 outside Rockpool House as it streaked across the sky above Loch Sunart. Good luck if you decide to look out for them 🌌💫🤞. . #rockpoolhouse #resipole #salen #strontian #sunart #ardnamurchan #lochsunart #lochaber #wildlochaber #scotland #scottishhighlands #seaview #visitscotland #scotland #scotlandisnow #LoveScotland #outdoorcapitaluk #beautifuldestinations #visitbritain #nightsky #stargazing #meteorshower #perseids
