I am lucky enough to spend some wonderful holidays in Scotland and Wales and just love to be near the sea. Here are a few scenes of my favourite places. All images on my Website are available as High Quality Prints or Blank Greetings Cards to send and to frame. Please see the PRICES, CONTACT & LINKS page for more details, or contact me for any information you may require at Elaine@ArtbyElaine.co.uk.

Most of the photos on this page have been taken in Hopeman, a beautiful fishing village on the Moray Firth in the north-east of Scotland. My favourite place in the whole wide world!

ANGEL FEATHER

HOPEMAN BEACH HUTS AND THE DAISY ROCK

Memories of special places,
Treasured things and familiar faces -
They never die or fade away,
They make us happy still today.

HOPEMAN BREAKERS

You can't always change the world,
but you can always change your attitude.
And when you change your attitude,
you change your world.

DRIFTWOOD

BREAKTHROUGH

Time is the coin of your life.
It is the only coin you have,
and only you can determine how it will be spent.
Be careful lest you let other people
spend it for you.

Carl Sandburg

WALK ON THE BEACH

May your faults be written on the seashore,
and every good deed be a wave to wash them out.

ROCK POOL REFLECTIONS

Nothing is sweeter than love,
nothing stronger, nothing higher,
nothing broader;
nothing is more lovely, nothing richer,
nothing better in heaven or in earth.

EAST BEACH, HOPEMAN

MY WISH FOR YOU When you’re lonely,
I wish you love.
When you’re down
I wish you joy.
When you are troubled,
I wish you peace.
When things are complicated,
I wish you simple beauty.
When things are chaotic,
I wish you inner silence.
When things look empty,
I wish you hope. Author Unknown

HOPEMAN HARBOUR ROLLERS

Look well to this day for it is life,
the very best of life.
In it's brief course lie all the
realities and myths of existence.
The joy of growth, the splendour of action,
the glory of power.
For yesterday is but a memory
and tomorrow is only a vision
but today, well lived,
makes every yesterday a memory of happiness,
and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well therefore to this day! Author Unknown
