Been a long time since I made it up a hill so was wondering what I was doing this time last year.

Summit camp up Ben Cruachan, caught a beautiful sunrise.

Mountain Hare - from a stroll up the hills today. It was bitterly cold, but the hares were relaxed and allowed me to get close enough.

Taken with a Canon R5 and RF100-500mm lens.

Always lovely to see in the Highlands Of Scotland.

The Borderlands (both sides) looked resplendent today. What a fine part of the world.

Another couple of shots using the wee mini-tripod, still sitting on the steps in front of the Usher Hall, this time pointing it over towards a restaurant on the other side of the open space in front of the concert hall.

Loch Shiel at Glenfinnan in the Western Scottish Highlands and another example of being in the right place at the right time to catch a burst of autumnal sunshine, highlighting the colours of the season. Sometimes, luck is on your side!

A little morning walk up Borraichill Mòr. I should have been working, but I looked out the window, saw the sun, and ran for the hills.

Beaches are places of intertidal liminality. Transient, impermanent and ever changing. To be the first person to walk on the sands as the tide retreats, is to find the world remade.
