Six from Scotland
Camera: K-5 Photo Location: Scotland 
Posted By: mark lj, 02-11-2012, 05:43 AM

Up in the far North of Scotland for four days with some mates last weekend. Not the greatest weather. Fine and clear for a walk up The Fiddler for dawn (one and a half hours walk in the dark to get there in time). The rest of the time it was very much a mixed bag - but thats Scotland for you. Some great locations to go back to and try when its not being miserable. Not a hint of colour at any time during the entire trip. Looking forward to going back on my own when I can get on with doing my own thing.

The beach shots are all at Durness (and the daft reed shot is from a wee forzen loch behind Stac Pollaidh).

Good call on the BW - the beach shots are very good - looks like a great place to catch some dramtic sunrises / sunsets weather permitting.

The second and third shots are awesome. Lovely series of photos but those two are really beautiful.

A great series of photos. The wrecked boat is very dramatic with great detail.

I'm lucky enough to live up here, but as you already know, weather conditions only seem to have a twenty minute life expectancy before changing into something horrendous.

Its all about being in the right place at the right time, glad you enjoyed your visit.
