Sunset over a calm coastal inlet with two small boats floating on still water between dark headlands. The sky glows with bands of orange, gold, pink, and purple clouds, reflected across the rippled water and wet sand.

Four ponies in a row staring at another pony, on the opposite side of the path.
Bright sunlight shines over a coastal bay, creating a silver reflection across the rippling sea. Dark, rounded hills stretch along the horizon, forming the outline of a headland that extends into the water.
A stone arch bridge, spanning a calm river surrounded by dense woodland. Overhanging green and yellow leaves frame the scene, while ivy and vegetation grow across parts of the bridge. A second bridge is visible downstream.
A scarecrow with a pumpkin for a head, dressed in farmer's overalls and resting on a large bake of hay. He is posed to look like he is sitting down and resting.
A blue and white train travelling along a train tracks surrounded by greenery, with trees and branches very close to both the track and train. The sky is overcast above it.
Sunlight streams through a dense woodland in Crombie Park near Carnoustie, illuminating tall trees with green foliage and casting long shadows across the leaf-covered forest floor.
The interior of the Thistle Chapel - an ornate Gothic chapel featuring richly carved dark wooden choir stalls on both sides of a central aisle. The view is looking upwards.
A pier, with several brightly coloured boats sailing off from it. The clouds are a mixture of white and dark, with a rainbow visible in the distance.
A statue of Nelson Mandela on a Glasgow street, with a traffic cone now placed upon its head. The shadow of the statue is visible on the wall behind it.
The Aurora Borealis shines over Loch Lomond and Ben Lomond - the sky is lit up with green light and a pier with a small boat can be seen on the water.
A fast-flowing river runs through a colourful autumn landscape in Comrie, viewed from a bridge above the water. The white church, with a tall clock tower and pointed spire, stands prominently on the right-hand side.
The Falkirk Wheel illuminated at night in vivid pink and purple light, reflected in a still pool of water in the foreground. A small group of people are watching the lights.
A pre-dawn sky over the rooftops of Huntly, with large clouds glowing pink and orange from the approaching sunrise. Stone houses with slate roofs sit in the foreground, while a dense belt of trees stretches across the middle distance and clouds dominating the scene.
View from inside a rocky sea cave or cliff opening overlooking the coastline near Findlater Castle in Moray, on a bright and sunny day.
A calm river curves through a rural landscape during a bright sunrise, with a light mist hovering above the water's surface.
A waterfall cascades over large dark, moss-covered rocks in a wooded gorge, with greenery surrounding it.
The Northern Lights helped give extra colour to this standing stone at Crawick Multiverse in Dumfriesshire
A black and white photo of a car with heavy rain striking it, parked on farmland.
A view looking upwards at a large tree in the middle of a forest, with rows of other trees behind it and the sun and blue sky visible through gaps in the trees.
Close-up profile of a dark brown horse wearing a halter, photographed at night against a vivid display of the northern lights, coloured green and red.
A curved stone dam with a narrow pedestrian walkway running along the top, separating a calm reservoir on the left from a steep concrete dam face on the right. A forest surrounds the structure.
A badger peeping through ferns in a garden.
Two skeleton models, sitting in chairs in front of a flat. One has its mouth open, as if speaking or laughing to the other one.
Two young girls in light-coloured jackets stand at the water’s edge on a sandy beach, looking towards the sea as shallow surf washes around their feet. The sky is filled with dark, layered rain clouds and breaks of light.
