Description
Hi everybody!Happy Saturday!LOL!Of course!It's another shot of Scotland!
Actually its the very foothills of them,around the point where the Grampians meet the Cairgorm mountains.That's why they don't look particularly impressive in terms of height.But we are actually at a pretty decent altitude here.There was quite a drop there that you just can't see.
The road was quite narrow,(almost single lane),and had more bends and dips than any road I've EVER driven on.This was one of the few places it was safe to pull over!
I have to say this was one of the best days of my life!!!!I LOVED driving here!So much fun zipping along those roads,(at an unmentionable speed,lol!),listening to Enya singing 'Adiemus' and my other favorite Celtic songs.Between the music,that incredible scenery,gorgeous sunshine,an almost empty road,and a very,um,'responsive' little car,lol,I was in absolute heaven!!!And that was driving on the other side of the road as well!
OK!LOL.I've chewed your ears off long enough.I'm sorry,but I just HAD to share that with you.I can't wait to go back and do that again!Definately one of the highlights of my life.
Have a wonderful rest of your weekend everyone and thank you for looking.Your viewings and comments are always appreciated!
See ya!

P.S. doesn't the shadow of that cloud look like a dinosaur???

An amazing variation in hue that you captured perfectly. So beautiful! The lighting so evenly blankets the scene, shot to shot, and the rolling country side beckons one to explore. Extraordinary photography and wonderful postwork in knitting it together!

It's a GORGEOUS image, Marlene that i so much enjoy looking at! that cloud shadow looks like trouble on the way! i think there must be a huge flying saucer hovering somewhere and that aliens are about to invade!!!! looks pretty ominous to me!!!! :) the pastels in the terrain are sooooo beautiful!!! gorgeous capture, Marlene!

WOOOOOOOW!!! What an incredible panorama Marlene!!! Sure takes me back to that impressive country. LMAO, youre right...that shadow DOES look like a dinosaur. Beautiful sky by the way, i know how hard it is to capture a scottish sky...at least a good one. And you sure did. And you picked the perfect font as well. Excellent work all around. Have a wonderful day #:O)
