The beautiful West Coast of Scotland is my primary source of inspiration. And in particular that moment when the sun begins to fall behind the hills and islands.

It is a time for contemplation, reflection and introspection. A moment to relax, unburden and exhale. 

A beautiful mix of melancholy and hope.

I can feel a sense of loneliness and isolation when out in the moonlight - even when in the city. The surrounding darkness offering little distraction from my own thoughts. But there is also a feeling of serenity and calmness. The moon offering guidance and focus.
