Nairn shoreline on a winter day

Today was bitterly cold in Nairn, but it was one of those winter days where the sky was almost totally blue and the sun shone bright, if not very warmly. Lots of kids, and their parents, had great fun using their toboggans on the slopes of the dunes surrounding the cricket pitch in front of my home, but what interested me late this afternoon was a long walk along a couple of miles of the Nairn shore with the late afternoon sun glinting off the wet sand and the shallow water offshore:
