Description

This was so hard to capture, a crowd waited with cameras poised and you only see a flash of a sillhouette as they leap and have to be so quick with the shutter. If we had gone a few weeks later they say you can see hundreds. The Falls of Shin, Lairg, Sutherland, Scotland. A famous spot for leaping Salmon. There is also an exclusive store selling Harrods gifts! I have added a couple of lnks. The first one is the Official site for the store and includes information about the leaping Salmon. The second link just has a few pics of the falls and salmon. http://www.fallsofshin.co.uk/directions.php http://www.northernsights.net/shin-falls-fs.html I came away happy because many tourists just weren't quick enough, An american couple wanted to see my picture because they couldn't believe I had captured one !
