Altandhu

Day 58 - Altandhu

"Everything is coming into balance."

A settling statement recieved by my cerebral cortex moments ago.

For something to come into balance, there has to be a time of inbalance. A time at which we are now in. But if we live with an awareness that there is need for this learning curve and accept that the balancing will come, the double doors swing open to allow us to step beyond to a room beautifully lit.



The beach at Altandhu, near Achlitibuie, Ross-Shire, North West Scotland. A point where the tides tend to favour . . and for the past three to four decades they have been sending it gifts from the open waters. Duely recieved by the stones at high tide. Unfortunately, these "gifts" are the oceans' rejected offerings from us, feeling it was our responsibility to care for and not its'.

This beach will need about three to four weeks I feel. But that is of no bother. It is a spectacular spot, and deserves the attention.

I arrived here after beginning on Reiff Beach, 3 miles west(ish). But Reiff is now in the very capable hands of its' former carer and friend. So Altandhu it is. A place that deserves much credit for its' natural wonder, but at present it is in the shadow of the colourful display of polymer products smothering its stones.

for now..
