Card: Kirkcudbright castle and harbour, Scotland.

£3.50

 The image taken at distance  from across the river  is sufficient to proceed with the contrast of lines of  the older and the newer habitations of the town.   At low tide the river appears  of  little consequence.   The colours of the castle are made indeterminate, in transition from one to another, to tease the eye and conjure up a craft of hues which echo but seek  no repetition.  The trees still carry foliage, but approaching storms a  long way distant will  contrive to strip them bare and change the appearance of the season.   And slowly, hour by hour,  a small fraction of the rain that fell on hill and dale, meadow and forest is returned in grudging measure to the sea.

Depicts view of the Kirkcudbright Castle and Harbour, Scotland. Blank inside for personal message.
