The story behind the image
In Portknockie, Scotland, you will be able to visit and experience a genuine natural phenomenon – Bow Fiddle Rock. Over the centuries, the clashing water of the North Sea has dug a huge hole into the rock, creating a formation that remotely resembles a bow fiddle (just without the strings, obviously.) The tiny island is home to many seabirds who loudly arrive and depart, demonstrating their ability to master even strong winds.
I like this image because it illustrates the unique maritime atmosphere of the place. There’s the wide, rough, open North Sea, and several birds can be spotted (and even more in the high-resolution image.)
