I drove down Glen Etive to take a few shots at the loch. I passed a few deer on the way and they did not seem that bothered by my presence, although they were mostly in the woods without much of a backdrop. I got out to take a shot of one of these deer and was about to change my lens as I still had my wide angle on, when this stag wandered into view without realising I was standing there. I don't know who was more suprised! He stared at me and I fired off a couple of quick shots. He was gone within seconds.
Moss Glen Falls of Granville is a gorgeous horsetail with thin streams of water which choose their path down a slightly angled rock face. The falls start out by bubbling down over some short steps before spreading out to dance down into a light teal pool about 25 feet wide. The falls are located on VT 100, and they are a major contributing factor as to why this road is widely considered to be Vermont's most scenic byway.

Located within the awe-inspiring Lochaber Geopark in the Highlands, the deep valley and towering mountains of Glen Coe were carved out centuries ago by icy glaciers and volcanic explosions. Glen Coe is regarded as the home of Scottish mountaineering and is popular with hillwalkers and climbers.
Ricketts Glen decorated in Holiday Colors ... Happy Sliders Sunday :)
Amazing what you can do with a ladder and 20 cans of red spray paint ...
Looking over the Scots Pines and Loch Affric to the mountains in this beautiful Glen.
Taken in October, there will be a fair bit of snow up there by now.
A pretty light filled the sky at sunrise there along the lake at the state park ... a great way to start the day there before heading down into the glen and taking waterfall photographs.

Landscape on the Isle of Skye, Scotland.
It was difficult to get a 'special' shot of this amazing place on such a dull overcast day so I decided to scale a hillock and include some people in the shot for scale.
The Fairy Glen is so named for the simple reason that the area looks a little unearthly. It has nothing to do with fairies, or so they say... It's like a Quirang landslip but in miniature. The heavily worn path on left of frame climbs a little to a basalt topping of the tallest of the outcrops just here. A great vantage point I am sure but, sadly, my ankle wouldn't take the gradient. The spiral of stones is a tourist creation that the locals keep clearing away to try to keep the area as natural as possible.
I imagine in beautiful light the place looks extra magical but, under these clouds, I didn't feel like taking too many shots. I just wanted to sit upon the damp grass and soak in the peace and atmosphere of the Fairy Glen.
Enjoy!
From the summit of Sron nan Gabhar, I'm not even high enough to be at the top of Creag nan Gabhar, my target for the day. However this is the view from Sron which is pretty stunning.
Creag nan Gabhar translates as Rocky Hill of the Goat and stands at 834 meters. Not high enough to be a Munro but it is a Corbett.
Glen Lyon is a glen in the Perth and Kinross region of Scotland. It is the longest enclosed glen in Scotland and runs for 34 miles from Loch Lyon in the west to the village of Fortingall in the east. This glen was also known as "An Crom Ghleann",. The land given over to the MacGregors was Scottish Gaelic: An Tòiseachd.
The name Glen Coe is often said to mean "Glen of Weeping", perhaps with some reference to the infamous Massacre of Glencoe which took place there in 1692.Whatever,the place certainly has an oppressive moody atmosphere.

I stumbled upon something of a hidden glen recently. Narrow, deep and steep-sided, it seemed to have its own microclimate, with amazingly lush vegetation for this time of year.

My first visit to this Glen. This is 7 vertical images stitched together in Lightroom to create this panorama. The road on the left goes on for some distance into the Glen but eventually it ends in a cul-de-sac. Well worth a visit despite the narrow, twisty 3 mile road to get to this observation point & free car park from the A86.
Glen Etive (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Èite) is a glen in the Highlands of Scotland. The River Etive (Scottish Gaelic: Abhainn Èite) rises on the peaks surrounding Rannoch Moor, with several tributary streams coming together at the head of Glen Coe. The Etive then flows for about 18 km, reaching the sea loch, Loch Etive. At the north end of Glen Etive lie the two mountains known as the "Herdsmen of Etive": Buachaille Etive Mòr and Buachaille Etive Beag.
Glen Etive has been used as the backdrop to many movies, among them Braveheart and Skyfall
