(I was interested in buying this ^^^ place - given the very low price, so I've always remembered the image)

Pic DSCF1750 the place where we stayed last year is on this pic.

Pic DSCF1777a is one of the best I've ever seen - the light and colours are incredible !

Pic DSCF1832 shows Kettlaness - we walked all the way round last year (my favourite walk anywhere)

Pic DSCF1844 - the sea is so clear and clean !

Thank you so much for the link to the photos, my family & I have really enjoyed looking at them, not least because they're better than the ones I took. {Note to self, next year, take a better camera}

I'm certain that @Drago and @annedonnelly would very much appreciate seeing your photos :

Really enjoyed looking through those. It looked like a great trip, wild landscape, clear water, and sitting round a fire on the beach. Must have been fantastic.

Thanks.
Yes it was a great trip, two weeks in first half of May, very lucky with the weather, could have been very different in alternative conditions!
Impressed with the way a lot of stuff is community run such as cafes, campsites, hostels, etc. Also, honesty boxes for payment when no-one around is not something you see much of these days.
Quite a few of the campsites are located at harbours which would at one time have been very busy places with fishing boats etc. but had become underused and now have yacht marinas, tent areas, and campervan pitches, with a camp kitchen and toilet/shower facilities.
Road surfaces impeccable with hardly a single pothole!

The beautiful Poisoned Glen shrouded in a not very summery mist last week. One of my favourite places.

There is 2,500' high mountain hidden in that mist. The peak should be visible above the church steeple.

Nice little thirty miler after work. Summer has returned.

What is this traffic of which ye speak? That was one tough climb getting up there.

Wander home from the pub on a weekend away, couple of phone shots at sunset..

Nice long coastal walk today.

This is Essaouira in Morocco. It's a fantastic place and still very much a working fishing port.

Here's one from my trip to the Appalachian Mountains. The Virginia Creeper Trail is quite possibly the best bike ride i've ever done (in spite of the fact that the bike i hired was a clunky old chunk of metal) and this is the place i'd recommend eating. Good healthy food, reasonable prices and friendly staff and all in a lovely riverside location.

Early morning fog shrouds this tree.

Out yesterday morning for a sunrise shoot at Winnats Pass (a great climb if you are ever in the Hope Valley area)

We were lucky to capture an inversion (cloud trapped in the valley with clear skies above)

This was one after sunrise from the top of the pass looking across to the cement works and the inversion still covering the valley

"Morning Mist"

Dramatic skies this arvo.
