Bright Rays by Peter Marshall

The photograph “Bright Rays” came about because I was wanting to take a gently uplifting image to match my poem of the same name which is about moving on from loss as a caregiver. Skies around Dundee are often a glorious sight as it has the geography to make it the sunniest place in Scotland.

Peter Marshall was born in London in 1955. At 24, he first visited Scotland for a job interview. He was instantly smitten by the hills and spectacular coastlines. Peter worked in a range of science and care jobs in Dundee, Scotland. Now retired, he ambles around the coast and the many excellent local museums. He writes poems and takes matching photographs to while away the long winter nights. Peter Marshall’s poems and photos can be found on Facebook at peter.marshall.75.
