HFF from Lower Largo

Lower Largo or Seatown of Largo is a village in Fife, Scotland, situated on Largo Bay along the north side of the Firth of Forth. It is an ancient fishing village in the parish of Largo. Lower Largo is famous as the 1676 birthplace of Alexander Selkirk, who provided inspiration for Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe.

The Fife Coast Railway line through Lower Largo was closed in 1965 as part of the restructuring programme of British railways known as the Beeching cuts (overseen by Richard Beeching), and though it has been disused since then the viaduct that dominates the village remains an important local landmark.

Such a lovely wee town with a gorgeous beach.

Wow ~ HFF dear LGM there is so much going on in this shot. The orange / terracotta tiles of the houses compliments the blue of the bridge whilst the orange upper deck of the little boat below adds to the balance. All the while there are the arches of the viaduct staking their claim to the scene without domination from your point of view.
