Description
The Buachaille Etive Mor rising up behind Blackrock cottage at the entrance of Glen Coe this afternoon.
We spent yesterday on the magnificent South Glen Shiel ridge in Kintail. The views were non-existant, the weather was foul, and once we dropped back down below the clouds, the midgies were in for a feast. (I'm still scratching as I type this now!)
So not a lot of pictures from the ridge-walk, none in fact, but we spent the night in the village of Dornie by the famous Eilan Donan Castle, and there's plenty of shots of that to come I'm afraid!
Thanks for viewing

Always a thrill to see your adventures Anthony...sorry about the midgies, I think it's a universal problem....you ought to see them here in Hawaii, relentless and always hungry. Beautifully composed image of this Buachaille Etive Mor. Keep on trucking Anthony! Aloha~

Beautiful landscape! I'm a midge-magnet myself, so you have my sympathy:) But pictures such as this is worth a little blood loss.

Post as many as you like. This is my very favourite part of the planet, except for Ardnarmurchan Point that is. The dreaded midge. Oh, bad memories!

All this talk of midgies has me itching now, Anthony! Luckily I have not encountered too many this year, despite the amount of gardening I seem to have done. As for the shot, well I am sure it could have been done in TERRAGEN then softened in PHOTOSHOP, but since I know that you do all the hill walking and camera work, despite the midgie horde, I'll justt have to settle for remarking that I wish I could even compose half as well as you do. Regards, John. PS re the midgies, my auld gran used to chew 'dulse', i.e. fresh dried seeweed. She never seemed bothered by the wee beesties, either in Scotland or in Ireland. I don't think HOLLAND and BARRATS seeweed tablets are quite the same, though ;0)
