Day 4 Scotland

Day 4 Scotland – Today very sadly is my last day in Scotland (sigh).

 

I began the day at the Nevis Range where I went up in the gondola to the top.  No views, as I was in thick cloud, but got some great shots of the landscape that will look quite good and eerie in black and white.

 

Then I went to Glencoe.  Once again more stunning mountains, but in particular stumbled across this great waterfall which I spent time getting shots around.

 

After lunch I decided to explore the highlands between Invergarry and Dornie.  I found this one particular mountain and decided to climb to the top.  It took me 2 hours on a steep incline to get to the peak.  But once up there I had the most fantastic views and felt on top of the world.  I sat there for 30 mins and just took it all in.  The walk down was much easier of course and the great thing was I discovered more waterfalls.  When I eventually got back to my car (and this hurts) I put my camera gear in the passenger seat, walked around to the drivers side door only to see a British Tornado fighter jet fly past me at eye line level along the loch I was parked at!  I can only imagine how good a shot it would have been if I had my camera in hand (double sigh).

 

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here in Scotland and I have no doubt I will be back one day, only for a much longer stay so I can explore more.
