Taken in Hillock Wood, Buckinghamshire where everything I needed all appeared at the same time, mist, sunlight and autumnal colours and simply in awe of the spectacle that faced me.
So, same tree as the first shot I posted from this session but taken at a different time and about 6 foot to the right as the sun had moved. Amazed at the dynamic range that was in the raw file, no hdr for this.
It is the third largest freshwater loch in Scotland with a surface area of 38.5 square kilometres (14.9 sq mi). It is the longest freshwater loch in Scotland, measuring 41 kilometres (25 mi) from end to end with an average width of 1-kilometre (0.62 mi). The loch runs approximately south-west to north-east, roughly parallel to the two sea lochs of Loch Etive and Loch Fyne. Via the River Awe and Loch Etive it drains westward from its northern end and thus into the Atlantic Ocean. At the narrowest section of the loch are North Port (Taychreggan Hotel) and South Port (Portsonachan Hotel). Once used by cattle drovers, a ferry ran between these shores to facilitate crossing to markets beyond. The Transatlantic Cable, which runs through the village of Kilchrenan, was laid across at this point in 1955.

I live in San Diego, California, so I am no stranger to spectacular Pacific sunsets. That said, I spent several years at sea with the Navy and sunsets on the open ocean are on a different plane. While this is not from the deck of a ship, it is from Two Lovers Point on Tumon Bay in Guam.
I don't know if there is science to back up the theory that the cloud formations are inherently different...but I can say that I certainly miss this aspect of my former career.
Looking north east on the banks of Loch Awe, I could sit here all day long, as every moment that passes offers something new to cherish
And I can't fake another smile (and I can't fake)
And I can't fake like I'm alright (no smile)
Ooh, ah (ooh, ah, ooh)
And I won't say I'm feeling fine (I'm feeling fine)
After what I been through, I can't lie
Ooh, ah (ooh, ah)
Our journey most days started and ended with us driving passed Kilchurn Castle, so i thought i would take the opportunity "as it would be rude not to" to photograph it over the three days of passing!
Quand on est à Lauterbrunnen, une autre excursion "indispensable" est bien "Jungfraujoch Top of Europe". Pour cela, il faut prendre deux trains : de Lauterbrunnen à Kleine Scheidegg, puis de Kleine Scheidegg à Jungfraujoch.
Quand vous sortez du train, vous êtes tombez directement en hiver. La neige est encore intacte même à mi-août. Le spectacle est une fois de plus grandiose. Plusieurs randonnées s'offrent à vous. Mais personnellement, mes genoux ne m'ont pas permis de marcher sur la neige :( Quel regret ! :(((
When you are in Lauterbrunnen, another "essential" excursion is "Jungfraujoch Top of Europe". To do this, you have to take two trains: from Lauterbrunnen to Kleine Scheidegg, then from Kleine Scheidegg to Jungfraujoch.
When you get off the train, you have fallen straight into winter. The snow is still intact even in mid-August. The spectacle is once again awe-inspiring. Several hikes are available to you. But personally, my knees did not allow me to walk on the snow :( What a regret!: (((
Part of a wider panorama that sweeps round from Kilchurn Castle, past the feet of towering Ben Cruachan (1126 metres) round to this promontory into Loch Awe..... and fresh Scottish midges.
I knew my trained assassin skills had not deserted me. Can you find the two men lurking in the woods?
It's just a shame there wasn't a herd of gingery Highland cows paddling in the waters in the foreground.
There have been several eagle sightings in my neighborhood, but I was not lucky enough to see one until yesterday am. I came out of my driveway to a nearby crossroad and this one was straight ahead of me in a pecan tree. Of course, no camera in the car, but he was kind enough to wait on me to pull off this still shot and then he flew. Luckily, I had installed my telephoto and new extender the day before!!
A lone hiker stands in awe as she tries to comprehend her incredible surroundings of massive sheer rock walls stretching from the Virgin River in which she stands, up into the heavens that are to be found in The Narrows of Zion National Park, Utah.
"Snow always inspires such awe in me. Just consider one tiny snowflake alone, so delicate, so fragile, so ethereal. And yet, let a billion of them come together through the majestic force of nature, they can screw up a whole city."

Another image from a perfect morning for photograph on Loch Awe. The conditions were constantly changing as the mist rolled in and out several times creating different moods and light. This is a panoramic stitch as the castle emerged from a particularly thick patch of mist.
Kilchurn Castle is a ruined structure on a rocky peninsula at the northeastern end of Loch Awe, in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It was first constructed in the mid-15th century as the base of the Campbells of Glenorchy, who extended both the castle and their territory in the area over the next 150 years. After the Campbells became Earls of Breadalbane and moved to Taymouth Castle, Kilchurn fell out of use and was in ruins by 1770. It is now in the care of Historic Environment Scotland and is open to the public in summer.
I've taken a look back through my archives and have started re-visiting a few images either re-editing or processing previously untouched frames. This is one such frame of a sunrise from 2010, I hope it isn't too boring taking this action.

This loch extends for 21 miles from Dalmally in the North to Torran in the South plus a long 4 mile finger-like extension from Trevine to Bridge of Awe.
It looks very calm here but when the wind is blowing down it it can be very unforgiving, there have been many tragedies caused by boats being capsized by the unwary. I lost a good friend to it when his rowing boat overturned with 4 others on board, all perished.
A gentle light on woodland floor,
Surely life must need of more,
To grow through leaves with trees so tall,
A long way down this light must fall,
But natures knows her plants can cope,
It’s from our feet she'll trust and hope.

I was very excited when I spotted this last week on our hike in Dundas & was able to catch the awe of forest light
To stand at the end of a glacier, to see it’s massive power, and to think of the years it’s taken for it to flow to this point…well…it’s truly awe inspiring.
If you look to the center of this shot you’ll see seagulls flying. They give you a sense of just how incredible the scale of this place is. And this was just a small section. It was overwhelmingly beautiful.
I would say that 95% of the photos taken of this post have a boat moored to it. It was out on the water that morning.
I like the grasses and the scabious growing around it and the jaunty angle it has assumed.
My husband took the day off. We decided to pack the truck and do the circuit through Jasper, the Icefields and then onto Abraham Lake. It is about a thirteen hour drive but every turn and twist on the road leads to another photo op and, yet, another adventure.
We took Jager, my German Shepherd. She is a wonderful companion. She is always ready to go!
I find the mountains are a challenge to put into the camera - to try to duplicate the 'Ahaa' moment that you feel as you stand in awe is a talent I have not mastered yet.
How can you interpret or communicate the grandeur and the intense enormity of a mountain that stands hovering over you into a tiny camera? It is humbling.
This photo was taken very early in the morning - the beginning of our adventure. I was driving on the highway. I was completely transfixed and elated with the sunrise that was transpiring to the left of me. I finally couldn't dismiss it any longer, so I pulled off the highway and found a desolate country road. I needed to get this photo! .
The mountains are a privilege, but to stand alive, under an open sky and bathe in the beauty of another day is a gift...
A view across one of the islands on Loch Awe a few miles north of Ledmore in Assynt, Scotland. This was taken late in the afternoon at the end of a superb day spent on the summit of Canisp.
Manchmal verschlägt es einem draußen in der Natur die Sprache, so groß und großartig ist das, was man da sieht. So mächtig, erhaben und uralt. Solche Weiten tun sich auf.
Und wir so klein in diesen Weiten unterwegs, ein tolles Gefühl. Sehr befreiend - und auch sehr respekteinflößend (nicht immer ist das Meer so friedlich und wunderschön blau, und der Wind nur so ein angenehmes, laues Lüftchen).
Da bleiben Erinnerungen 💙💙💙
Sometimes the grandeur of nature leaves me completely speechless and in awe, with a feeling of both freedom and respect walking around there as such a tiny creature (the sea not always being wonderfully blue and the wind also being able to rage furiously).
Beautiful memories. 💙💙💙
