European Pine martens are a species I have long since wanted to photograph especially in their habitat however it did take a trip to the Scottish Highlands to fulfil my goal, up at 5 am each morning my patience paid off and over four days many images were taken. Feeling very privileged and also delighted at being able to see these creatures in their environment. Dave

Many Thanks for all your views, faves and very kind comments.

Somewhere near Pitlochry. We came across this lovely place on the way to Castle Menzies.

Somewhere between Achnasheen and Achanalt, Scotland

There is something very special experience to spend a spring day in the Scottish Highlands.

Late evening light on the Mountain.

So this week marks the beginning of fall. Today it is 82 degrees here in Fort Lauderdale..a little cooler that it has been. It is in the 60"s in Highlands, N.C. where this was taken..and it is raining..hopefully replenishing the waterfalls. Headed up that way soon and hoping for some great fall color. Have a great week and thanks for stopping by.

my wonderful holiday in Scotland

MERRY CHISTMAS TO ALL MY DEAR FRIENDS IN FLICKR

Driving through the snow-capped mountains of Scotland, when I had to heave over to one side to capture this.

We had some time on our hands and took a back road up and out of Fort William on the Old Military road. And as we went over the brow, Fort William and the top of Loch Linnhe behind us, the world changed into this. We never found out how far the little road that became narrower and bumpier went, but it became more and more beautiful. I think this was Lochan Lunn da-Bhra and the remote white country house, Lundavra. If we had been on foot we might have got through the mountains to Kinlochleven. I might save that for my next life. For now, I would be happy to just sit on that hillock, like that lone sheep, (left of centre) and enjoy the tranquility and view

Fjallabak (Icelandic Highlands) 20210717

Shaped by the antagonism of ice and fire, the South Highlands of Fjallabak offer landscapes like no other. Nature, here in delirium, combines harmoniously contradictory landscapes with the art of paradox. Green meadows, lava fields, pristine glaciers, black sand beaches, blue iceberg lagoons, basalt fortresses, crystalline waterfalls, powerful rivers, volcanoes pretending to sleep, flooded bogs, fumaroles in the shape of rainbows flood succeed and renew endlessly. While the ocean in front of so many wonders is not left out and spreads its power and its immensity, launching its rolls and its millions of pelagic birds to conquer this land that was supposed to stay at the bottom of the abyss.

We were lucky enough to have been offered a free upgrade on our rental car while we were in the UK last fall. The Audi A4 35 TDI is an amazing car!

Storm King Mountian and the Hudson River viewed from Breakneck Ridge (Hudson Highlands State Park, New York). Bannerman's Castle can be seen to the north (right side of the photo).

This image, photographed in the Icelandic highlands, is one of the favourites from my trip. Perhaps surprisingly, I made the image with my iPhone.

Las Highlands son el corazón y el verdadero símbolo de Escocia, su parte más salvaje, indómita y pintoresca que sabrá cautivaros con su belleza infinita. Lugares dignos de una postal, tierras de héroes legendarios, paisajes grandiosos, montañas imponentes, bosques antiguos que se lanzan hacia el mar, loch de agua dulce que se confunden con los profundísimos fiordos del océano, animales en estado salvaje, valles solitarios y territorios salvajes que os dejarán sin aliento. Aquí los pueblos habitados son muy pocos y os podéis encontrar conduciendo durante horas en medio de la naturaleza en estado puro, rodeados sólo de llanuras, lagos y bosques de pinos: un paisaje inolvidable que, durante siglos, ha alimentado leyendas y batallas, un escenario de fábula que deleitará sobre todo a los amantes de la fotografía.

Gruinard Bay in the Highlands

Scottish highlands.

After an amazing 8 day run of clear, sunny blue skies and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, a storm was inevitable. And here it was.

Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,

The birth-place of Valour, the country of Worth;

Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,

The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.

My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,

My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer;

Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,

My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go. - Robbie Burns

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.

Another image from the scenic Icelandic Highlands. It was incredibly windy and cold when I made this shot. What a sacrifice on my part :-)

Back from a five-week road trip to Iceland with lots of memories and impressions of this fascinating landscape
