Pár évvel korábban még a tolatós tehervonatot fotóztam ugyanígy a vinyei rakodóvágánynál 3 rakott kocsival és egy hosszú orros veszprémi Dácsiával. A képen a 39524 számú személyvonat élén küzd az egyik győri remot Dácsia a hőséggel.
At 47 meters (154ft) tall, this waterfall is the largest, and for me most beautiful waterfall on the Isle of Skye, with the backdrop of the Cuillin mountains, and a mere 10 minute walk up hill from the roadside, it's one of the most stunning areas to pay a visit to, yet you're very lucky (or unlucky!) to see another soul, maybe the odd hiker passing by, but that's about it. Maybe that's another reason why I love it so, who knows!
Going through some of the pictures I never got around to posting of July's trip to the Isle of Skye, this was taken from Lower Milovaig looking across Loch Pooltiel to the waterfall of Was Aboist, as the rain fell in the distance
Eas Fors Waterfall is one of the most spectacular waterfalls on the Isle of Mull, situated just off the B8073, a couple of miles North of Ulva Ferry. It consists of a series of three waterfalls, the Upper Falls being above the road, and the Middle Falls just below the road where a beautiful pool is formed. The third and final fall plunges 100 feet over the edge of the cliff to the sea below.
I hope this is some way conveys the drama and chaos of the Eas Urchaidh in Glen Orchy. The river Orchy crashes through a narrow channel it has cut through the rock, with cascades coming in from all sides. It is wet and noisy, and if you were to drop a lens cap into the water you would certainly never see it again!
Back to a favourite subject of mine; a waterfall shot. It seems a while since I visited this fall and it still isn't easy to get a 'clean' shot of the fall itself but I did quite like this wider view.

Eas Mor - A dramatic waterfall on Allt Coire na Bannachdich, Eas Mor is dominated by the impressive backdrop of the Black Cuillin deep in scenic Glen Brittle. A lesser known location to its more famous Fairy Pools neighbour higher up the glen.
Isle of Skye, Scottish Inner Hebrides
The burn flows from the Coire nam Bruadaran (Coire of Dreams) and tumbles over at the Eas a' Bhradain, the 'Salmon Waterfall' that I go past on a regular basis, but have only photographed infrequently. Yesterday, after all the rain we have been having, there was a lot of water coming down the burn, so I returned today as I was in a waterfall sort of mood and a black-and-white mood as well when it came to processing.
I normally refer to this location as the 'Tourist Waterfall' as numerous visitors in cars and buses stop in the parking area opposite, cross the road for a few quick photos, then return to their vehicles and go on their way to the next holiday snap opportunity. In fact getting closer to the waterfalls can be problematic, especially after lots of rain. Even with wellies on, getting through the boggy mud was a challenge and I almost lost one boot.
White water feature in Glen Orchy. The main stream (at left) has worn a narrow channel through the rock and numerous small waterfalls pour into it from the flat rocks above. The water and loose rocks have eroded the rock into amazing shapes, such as the small arch in the foreground.
The water was lower and the torrent less spectacular than on my previous two visits but that meant I could safely get to spots such as this that would have been impossible or dangerous otherwise. Presumably when it is in full spate you can only safely see it from the bridge slightly downstream.
Many Thanks to the +14,065,000 visitors of my photographic stream

A rare trip to Glen Brittle with Skyeweasel. A bit of adventure was had taking a sheep path to the base of the falls and taking a fox path out. The translation from the Gaelic is straightforward, even for me. Big Falls.
From the bridge just downstream of the falls. This is what it looks like on a quiet day without heavy rain, it must be quite something during spring snowmelt or a heavy storm.

Impressive white water feature on the River Orchy. This is what it looks like when there hasn't been much rain for weeks. Of course when it's in spate you can't get this close.
Another narrow channel the Keltie water flows through. About a mile up from Bracklin Falls which is at the Highland Boundary Fault Line.
Just after this shot I slipped in the bog mud and kicked my camera bag, knocking my 70-200 f2.8 L into the burn (stream to the english). Luckily both end caps were attached and was it was under for about 2 secs before I scooped it out. It seems to be working fine since. A huge plus point for buying Canon L series lenses.
It was a cold, damp couple of hours I spent in Glen Cannich with little to show for it. So, I decided to stop off at these falls hoping the rain would cease long enough to keep the lens clear of spots; luckily the weather played ball.

It's been pouring rain for a couple of days and relieved to be rid of eight adult Italians from our house. They were the type that had been to Skye, arrived at ours very late and then demanded to know where they could get dinner when they had been emailed before recommending where to get dinner and book it. Well of course they arrived late, having not booked dinner and asking where they could get petrol too! Hello? You made the booking to come to Ardnamurchan. I presume that your research told you that this is a remote and very isolated part of Western Highland Scotland. If you want fast food we have thousands of MacDonalds..........and Campbells round here. Anyhow they've left in the rain (windscreen wipers not working on one of their hire cars) and I went looking for waterfalls. When it rains round here the water pours off the mountains and thousands of impressive waterfalls appear, but most are hard to get to. This is Eas Chia-Aig. No idea what that means. Is it the Witches' Cauldron? (By the way Nicola Sturgeon has formally pardoned all people accused of witchcraft between the 16th and 18th centuries, many of whom were executed. The SNP is petitioning English taxpayers for funds to compensate descendents of all the witches so tortured and killed for their witchcraft).
I forgot most of what little I've learnt of photographing waterfalls, but I did get a rainbow, some streaky bits in my shot and a midge in my eye.
Most visitors to the Isle of Skye will be familiar with this waterfall as it sits adjacent to the main road to the islands largest town of Portree.
