Dusk over Eilean Donan Castle, Kyle of Lochalsh, Scotland

I have been after this particular photograph since time began. I have waited years to capture the glorious glow of the gorgeous 13th century fortified castle set against the backdrop of snow with a blue hue sky and with enough water to surround the castle properly and provide perfect mirror reflections.

 

Today was to finally be my day.

 

I ventured onto Skye after leaving this beautiful scene only to find snow and ice everywhere. But I am so looking forward to heading out tomorrow morning with my camera for there are stunning views everywhere.
