This photograph is the Sound of Jura in Scotland by Jon Wyatt. Wyatt explains that “the Sound of Jura is the name given to the straits of water separating the Isle of Jura in the Inner Hebrides from the Scottish mainland. The Gaelic name is ‘An Linne Rosach’ meaning the ‘Sound of Disappointment’.” (Note to self: I don’t understand what can be a disappointment about this magnificent location…)
Wyatt is an award winning photographer from the U.K. Do NOT miss Wyatt’s other shots of the Sound of Jura and the Portfolio of his work: Jon Wyatt.

Such beauty in the vastness….
Magical 💙
I agree with your note to self and quite curious about this meaning behind the name!
this is absolutely lovely and i love the story behind the name. i see the ‘disappointment’ as a positive. this is a place where you can take your disappointments and let them float off in air, over this beautiful sea, and feel renewed once again.
Wow, wonderful interpretation Beth.
I HAVE to believe he’s a relative.
Laughing. Let’s go with it!
