That’s it, our last family-jaunt of the strange, 2020 summer holidays has concluded. We got back earlier this week from Oban in Scotland and this is one of the images I took, looking out from the harbour.
The large building in the centre is St Columba’s Roman Catholic cathedral and the land in the background is, I think, the Isle of Mull. The conditions were perfect for some, long-exposure night-time photography and I hope you a will agree the sky looks very dramatic reflected in the water.
It was a lovely trip and we thoroughly enjoyed Oban. We also got to see all Mrs Adams’ family who stay (to use the Scottish term) near Glasgow.
Should you want to take a trip back in time, here’s an image I took of Oban harbour in the daytime back in 2014. I like to think both photos show off some of Oban’s charm.
Are you preparing for the return to school? If so, do you feel ready? How do you feel about the schools re-opening? It seems everyone has a different opinion about this.

Beautiful photo John. Love oban, so many childhood memories from family holidays here.
We are almost ready for the girls return to school on the 8th. It will be a lot of adjustments and especially with our 4yr old starting this term. I think they are definitely ready for the return though and me and Sarah will welcome the break.
I am building up great memories of Oban as well. Been a few times now. Good luck on the 8th!
I love both the images, especailly the colour of the boat standing out in the second picture and the way you’ve captured the light and the reflections above #mysundayphoto
Glad you like both images. Oban is particularly photogenic for sure.
Very cool reflection
Thank you, it sure caught my eye. Such a photogenic spot.
It sounds like a wonderful trip!
What a fantastic photo. I love the reflection in the water x
We had a wonderful time Kim. The reflection is what makes the photo I think.
A beautiful image of a wonderful trip. #MySundayPhoto
It is a wonderful reminder of a lovely trip for sure.
Oh this is truly special, I must visit Scotland soon, I keep saying I will. Looks amazing
Thank you for linking up to #MySundayPhoto
I’ll tell you where to go for some good photographic exploits Darren!

Thnaks Sam, it’s sure one of my better images.
Beautiful photo! Made me nostalgic about our very first trip to Scotland and we visited Oban then.

Delighted to hear the image resonated with you Soma.
That is a stunning photo. It must have been lovely to get away and see family.
We’re looking forward to the return to school here. I think on the whole parents of teenagers are feeling more positive about it than parents of small children.
I haven’t had an opportunity to take images like this for a while Sarah so it was great to do so at last. Return to school has been okay so far. Hope it has been for you also.
What a gorgeous photo. Oban is such a lovely wee place. Very picturesque and you captured it perfectly. Glad you had a nice time. x
