RIPPLES FROM EIGG From a great week on a moody Eigg last week. Laig beach is such a fantastic place with constantly changing sand patterns and light depending on the tide, wind and weather. #eigg #laigbeach #fsprintmonday #sharemondays2026 @sonyalpha.bsky.social @fotospeed.bsky.social

My pick for #ShareMondays2026 was this serene scene from @markhether18.bsky.social. I love the low contrast hazy tones and low clouds, it made me think of Howl’s Secret Garden. Congratulations all it was a very hard choice, was fun to go through a bunch of great shots.
