The Bass

[Douglas McMann]

The Bass Rock, Firth of Forth.

A steep-sided volcanic rock and home to a large colony of gannets. Currently uninhabited, but historically has been settled by an early Christian hermit, and later was the site of an important castle, later used as a prison.

The rock has had some history Dougie. That horizontal band of cloud is really something else and to a degree becomes an eye catching feature of the image. Incredible how it is practically parallel to the horizon and the rock sits comfortable in between. Unique image really.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Many named Bass rocks around the British coast as there are Gull rocks. This one is a beauty Dougie. Love the bands with the rock showing.

 

[Brian Moore]

A fine image, Dougie. The pano view fits well with the layers below and above the horizon and the matching array of clouds.

 

[Pete Askew]

The banding created by the clouds and sea work very well I think. Is that mist or a slight halo above the horizon and the rock?

 

[Douglas McMann]

Thanks Pete...it was a band of mist, just above the water surface....
