Scotland in March can have clear days which are lengthening but it can be very cold. However, these 'shoulder months' of the year are good when it comes to the nature of the daylight and shadows (especially at this latitude) so I made a point of walking around the garden and down to the lochside (Loch Lomond) with the camera thinking light and dark i.e. chiaroscuro.
This photo is "as is". It is Ross Priory about 4:45 pm.
The light is going but I just had to take a photo of Ben Lomond in the distance, still with snow on top. 
This is an arty shot of snowdrops beyond the garden gate.
The first rhododendron is now flowering. These huge trees were planted 100 to 150 years ago and there are flowers most months of the year.
Twilight. The light is going. The sky was getting pinker with the sun going down. The golfers were heading in for the bar and I was heading in to join an evening of music after some food and wine.
I will leave the last word ... image ... to Rembrandt, the master of chiaroscuro in painting.

What a nice post. The sky is gorgeous. I think to look at such sky fills your soul with pleasure.
