The classic Scottish Golf tease it could be Turnberry to the uninitiated it is in fact a small 9 hole golf course called Covesea after the lighthouse of the same name. In the early Spring (not that long now) the yellow sea of gorse comes alive and we know we are emerging from winters grip.
Glorious! I’m longing for it too, as the snow continues to fall on the 8 inches already lying outside…
Lorna I know you wont appreciate this but we have none – I am going to have to travel to see some I think
What?! How on earth did you escape it?
The magic of Moray (something called the Gulf Stream)
I really like this photo – the white stands in such beautiful contrast to the water which disappears into the sky.
Interesting Lyle I was a little frustrated by the sky myself – I was attracted to the small golf green framed by the very powerful yellow gorse – in full bloom it is a formidable sight
Outstanding scenic Scott!
After a few days of winter we should be back to Spring weather here next week.
Thank you Phil this was from my long lens landscape period – I just love the yellow gorse and tiny Golf Green
I’ve stayed at the lighthouse (many years ago)!
Unfortunately Graham the light was switched off last summer and the cottages are no longer holiday homes. The local community are trying to buy the Lighthouse and market as a tourist attraction.
Thanks for the update on that. Let’s hope they are successful in that venture.
We have a golf course at Bandon that has the gorse, too. No matter how hard they try to eradicate it.
eradicate it – eradicate it, it is part of the landscape and the colour is immense, I LOVE GORSE – Gunta
So do I long for spring, Scott – and I can almost smell it, in your pic! Just look at those glorious blues. How long can it be??!!
not soon enough – I just need some light either side of work and I will be much happier. The yellow of the gorse s what really draws me here and the scale of the small golf green amongst the sea of yellow.
Stunning and brilliant. The blues are so calming!
wow strong praise, I think you will enjoy a wander through my archive
