The next day we head up to Loch Lomond area and Marc says "let's climb a little hill!" :lol3

The Scots are a tough bunch, they don't believe in traversing much, but
still it was a great climb, beautiful weather and nice rewards at the top :D

Next day: off to the ferry, and then the Isle of Mull.

Tobermory is a lovely little fishing village-cum tourist town. After
dinner, you have gobs of time to get going again, sunset this time of
year was around 930pm and then more shooting opps after that :D

(Canon 1Ds Mark III, Canon 24-105L @ 55mm, 1/2sec f/11).

And then, you can set your alarm for 0h-dark-thirty (actually, 4am) and
take a 2 mile walk from Tobermory out to this lovely lighthouse:
(Canon 1Ds Mark III, Canon 24mm TS/E on board. 3 shot vertical pano. 6
sec, f/11. Full file is 45 megapixels, should make a nice print :barb

If you run back to the village fast enough, you can get early light on the harbor and the painted houses.

Again, if you wait around long enough, you can get a sunset :lol3

How high was that "little" hill? :D

Man the more I see these photos the more I wish I had the money to go!! :cry

[schmoo]

So you DID make it to the top of Mt Everest! Your companions implied that you did not. :D

I love the view from the top. You could have said you were on an airplane and I wouldn't know the diff.

The sun was really working in your favor around Glasgow that day. (And every other day) So wonderful, and you came back with some killer shots. :D

I think we all have many photos of Andy/Smuggy arms aloft, dotting the countryside. I'll see if we can't get a thread going about those... :wink

Pleased to see you had an enjoyable time here in Scotland. At times I don't appreciate the surroundings the way I should as the sea in the Solway Firth comes right up to our front door. Great photos and hoping to see more.

I have been watching and noting all your remarks. However, we are inundated with Americans and Canadians every year and it is a real privilege and a pleasure to meet you and share our culture as I get exactly the same treatment when I visit family in the States and Canada. Hope to see you back again soon.
Regards
Bob

These shots all rock! I really like the the sunset from the top of the hill, and the rainbow (with a reflection!!!) and lighthouse shots as well.
