First real photo day

Today was the first real day of photogrpahy on the trip. Had a proper Scotish breakfast except for the blood pudding - seriously...The weather was crazy all day - typical Scotland weather - rain, sun, rain, sun all day. We started the day at Loch (lake) Bad Na Skalag - very bizzare name. The light lasted 5 minutes and was gone but it was very cool. See below>


We then went to Loch Maree which is a large loch near where we are staying. Again, some very gloomy storm lighting but it really set off the mountain nicely. Some will notice this is tilted a wee bit (wee bit - Scotish). My normal photoshop keeps crashing so I am using a new program I am not used to. It will be fixed later...









We then had lunch at Ben (mountain) Eighe (pronounced Eh) park and then drove down the associated Glen (valley). This is where the light got really good. We spent the rest of the afternoon in the glen at various spots. Stepped in a monster mud hole about up to my knee - great fun. The two brits and two scots on this trip are very entertaining - the English are very proper








Had fish and chips and ale for dinner and off to bed...
