One of my favourite things about analog photography is just how long it takes to get round to finishing a roll of film, getting it developed and getting to see your shots.

This ride and these photos were taken months ago. I’m living in a different part of Scotland and riding a completely different bike (or two). Dirtbag (my affectionately named self built bike in these photos) is now in storage, after I decided it was too heavy to take in the van with me. We’ve left the coast and are now based in the forest, but I’m still chasing pink skies and getting up early for a ride, but with very different views.

Getting this roll of film finished and seeing this ride feels nostalgic already, even though it was less than a year ago I parked my bike down on a rocky coastline with a flask of coffee. Skye isn’t the best for cycling… there’s not really any designated bike paths and the roads are very very busy, but, it’s excellent for pink skies and quiet mornings, without a doubt.
