St Andrews, home of golf but most definitely a whole lot more than golf. History, ancient buildings, great coastline and welcoming people. Yesterday morning though I got up early for a different treat too – a lovely sunrise:
Many have seen the sun set in the final gripping moments of the British Open at the 18th green, but to see the sun rise up behind the Royal and Ancient Clubhouse first thing from the fairway made for a peaceful and impressive feeling.

Thx very much Laur, try it, get up early and see the difference
I guess with the sea to the East of St Andrews, a sunset over the sea is going to be difficult. What did the day turn out like? Red skies in the morning can be a warning of rain.
Hi John, It was actually a great day, sun all day. cheers
Yes, lovely shots. Heading to Scotland later this month and again in July so I hope I manage to enjoy some similar treats.
Thank you, yes, it is a wonderful part of the world. Enjoy
What a wonderful progression of shots. I don’t usually get to see the sun rise.
Thank you, Yes I must admit in the hills I live in it is a rare sight. Joys of travel
Totally gorgeous. The only thing I like more than sunrises, are sunsets, only because it is harder to catch the sunrise:)
