Although Fidden on the Ross of Mull is a commercial campsite, in many ways it really is like a a wild camp site with showers. After a nice warm shower we returned to the tents to discover that the wind had dropped and the midges had come out. Ian and I set up our chairs on a little knoll to eat our meal. A little breeze up there mitigated the midges somewhat and the view was excellent.
After dining we set up a small fire (we had brought logs) below HW mark. While Ian and I opened cans of our favoured Irish sports recovery drink, Alan and
Donald were already checking through their numerous sunset photos!!
Not to be out done,
Ian and I soon got snapping too.
As the sun dipped to the horizon it took on first an...
...orange glow before turning...
pinkish red.
Of course living so far from the equator has its advantages. Very often the twilight after sunset is even better than sunset itself and so...
...it proved. This was an hour and a half after sunset.
Behind us the white buildings of Fidden were still illuminated with a delicate warm glow and were standing out against the inky black night sky behind.
