Layby 79
Whenever I drive down the A9 I am always 'going' somewhere. This time with no planned destination I was determined to stop and photograph some of the stunning scenery that I have seen and driven past previously. Iain and I spotted the top part of these falls on our way south and noted that they were close to Layby 79 but that the light was poor. On our return, the sky was a stormy black with a perfect rainbow framing the falls. We abandoned the car in our reference Layby and started a fast ascent of the hill to get beyond the huge pylons which were prominent in shot. Though they look to be almost at the roadside the pylons were somewhat further away and by the time we had cleared them the rainbow was gone. The sun, however, was intermittently breaking through and casting some warm light onto these pretty falls and the vegetation, showing the first hints of autumn colouring.
