Heroes and Coastal Errosion

kintra_islay.jpg

Another Scottish island photo this time actually from Islay, I think it was called Kintra beach where I found this, It was a stretch of sand between up Laggan bay about 8 miles long, utterly stunning. Its not that well known but Scotland has in my opinion some of the best beaches in the world on the islands, its a pity it isn’t a bit hotter !

This rather strange formation was where a river was running into the sea in a big arc (the water is brown because of all the peat soil). It was a really surreal day that day as the sky was actually that very odd colour, the other thing which was really fascinating about this river is you could actually see it erroding this mini coastline away in real time. Every so often a big chunk of sand cliff would fall off with a big splash.

Anyway the long overdue superpower thread is that I finally have my artwork on the BBC heroes portal its to go with the hit TV series Heroes (which is excellent if you haven;t been watching it) , which I produced a lot of the 3d artwork for the web games and my artwork has even been shown at the end episodes, woo hoo !

Unfortunately its locked to UK IP’s so you can’t view it unless you are in the UK.

    The rooftops behind the dunes look like the cottages at The Machrie, in which case you’re right, this is Kintra beach.

    Couldn’t agree more with you about Scotland’s beaches, in particular the ones on Islay as well as Colonsay. Easily among the best in the world!

    Don’t know if you’ve been to Machir Bay/ Kilchoman beach? The burn running into the sea there is completely changing its course fairly regularly.

    I’ll give the BBC heroes pages a miss though: I don’t have a television, so it’s a bit pointless for me ;-)

    Armin,

    probably I went to most beaches on the island, I forget most of the names though.

    Well, congratulations on getting your art on Heroes, and on the Robopogo downloads!

    I’m bummed that I can’t access some of the Heroes IPs though. Why do they restrict them? Some kind of copyright issues?
