Taken using the big stopper filter and a 1.2 hard grad.
I left the eye piece open by mistake, so there was a purplish tinge in part of the sky, corrected in post processing.
Situated near Glenbrittle on the Isle of Skye is this spectacular natural phenomenon of multiple waterfalls, seemingly vibrant blue & green in color, with cold swimmable pools. These magical pools are overlooked by some spectacular scenery including the Black Cuillin mountains.

Been a bit busy lately so have a lot of catching up to do.
One more picture from a favourite wee spot on the east coast of Skye where you can watch the conditions coming and going from a great vantage point high up on the cliffs.

Shieldaig is a village in Wester Ross in the Northwest Highlands and is in the Scottish council area of Highland.
The village was founded in 1800 with a view to training up seamen for war against Napoleon. After his (initial) defeat and exile to Elba, the community found itself a new role as a fishing village. The small island just offshore never had its tall pines harvested to rig warships, and has now become a nature sanctuary.

'Old Man of Storr', Isle of Skye, Inner Hebrides, Scotland, UK.
4 separate Pixel Shift images captured using the Pentax K3 II paired with the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART lens (Polarising Filter), Manfrotto tripod and Pentax 391RC2 pan-head, and finally a Pentax remote. This was taken as the Sun was setting and the Moon is visible lying low between the rock formations. This place is totally awe inspiring. I love the way the rock appears to be breaking through the surface or crust of the earth...... worth zooming in to view......👌
4 landscape images stitched together using the Photomerge feature in Photoshop CC, cropped, then a standard run through in DxO Optics Pro.

The Storr (An Stòr) situated near Staffin on the Isle of Skye is a rocky hill on the Trotternish peninsula of the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The Old Man of Storr or the ‘Old Man’ is a large pinnacle of rock that stands high and can be seen for miles around.
As part of the Trotternish ridge the Storr was created by a massive ancient landside, leaving one of the most photographed landscapes in the world.
Eilean Donan is recognised as one of the most iconic images of Scotland all over the world. Situated on an island at the point where three great sea lochs meet, and surrounded by some majestic scenery, it is little wonder that the castle is now one of the most visited and important attractions in the Scottish Highlands.
Although first inhabited around the 6th century, the first fortified castle was built in the mid-13th century and stood guard over the lands of Kintail. Since then, at least four different versions of the castle have been built and re-built as the feudal history of Scotland unfolded through the centuries.
Partially destroyed in a Jacobite uprising in 1719, Eilean Donan lay in ruins for the best part of 200 years until Lieutenant Colonel John MacRae-Gilstrap bought the island in 1911 and proceeded to restore the castle to its former glory. After 20 years of toil and labour the castle was re-opened in 1932.
There are four generations of the MacRae family past, present and future who are still the Constables of Eilean Donan Castle today. You can explore nearly every part of the castle and enjoy a journey through the history of the area. Some people say Eilean Donan is the most beautiful castle in Scotland. Come and decide for yourself!
The castle is regularly described as one of the most photographed monuments in Scotland, and is a recognised Scottish icon, frequently appearing on packaging and advertising for shortbread, whisky and other products. Eilean Donan has made several appearances in films, beginning with Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1948 and The Master of Ballantrae in 1953. The castle was the setting for the 1980 short film Black Angel, filmed to accompany screenings of The Empire Strikes Back in cinemas. It featured prominently in Highlander (1986) as the home of Clan MacLeod, was backdrop to a dance scene in the Bollywood movie Kuch Kuch Hota Hai in 1998, and served as the Scottish headquarters of MI6 in The World Is Not Enough in 1999. In Elizabeth: The Golden Age Eilean Donan stood in for Fotheringhay Castle in England. In the movie Made of Honor Eilean Donan can be seen as home of the groom's family.
I was fortunate to be able to join some friends for a winter getaway on the Isle of Skye. We had arrived the evening before in the dark, so this was our first location of our first day on Skye. A view from the shore of Loch Cill Chriosd looking across to Blà Bheinn in the distance.
In addition to spending the Skye holiday with MuddyBoots., Mark, Geoff, Andy and Pete I finally got the opportunity to meet up with SkyeWeasel, who joined our merry band of togs and shared some local insights.

A beautiful view of Ben Nevis from the small town of Corpach along the Loch Eil in the Grampians.
Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the British Isles. Standing at 1,345 metres above sea level, it is at the western end of the Grampian Mountains in the Lochaber area of the Scottish Highlands, close to the town of Fort William.
The English translation of "Ben Nevis" is "Venomous mountain" or "mountain with its head in the clouds".
Muck is only a small island and has a permanent population of around 30. So places to stay are limited.
A note in the window of this place reads as follows "There can be no doubt that even when it was built it would not be passed as habitable according to our modern standards. It can only be described as a primitive dwelling of a type common in the district and suited to people who were unaccustomed to modern conveniences"
The island does now have electricity from wind turbines, a port area, community centre with sport facilities, primary school, one dusty single track road and an excellent tea shop but no refuse collection service, church, pub or post office. It's connected to the mainland by 2 ferry services. One run by Calmac to Mallaig and one, summer only to Arisaig. No cars allowed for visitors.

and some may have seen the excellent BBC documentary of the former laird Lawrence McEwen who died a couple of years ago - sadly not currently available on BBC iPlayer but you can read about it here www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0016nl1

Elgol is a village on the shores of Loch Scavaig towards the end of the Strathaird peninsula in the Isle of Skye, in the Scottish Highlands. From Elgol you can view the magnificent Blaven and the neighbouring Cuillin mountain ranges.
The Isle of Skye has always been seen as a magical place. Along with the beautiful landscape there are plenty of myths and legends to stimulate your imagination. With the landscape it’s easy to believe these stories. The Sligachan Bridge has a great tale, and what’s more you can gain eternal beauty from dipping your face in the waters below the bridge.
Sligachan has long been an important junction on Skye, and the bridge across the River Sligachan forms part of the only road leading to the west end of the island.
The oldest known bridge is that still standing alongside the modern road. Whether it replaced an even older bridge, or more likely a ford, is uncertain. The bridge itself appears to have been built in the 1820s and consists of three arches. The middle arch is the widest, but the side arches are not mere flood arches, as the River Sligachan is a wide and ferocious piece of water for most of the year. The roadway is slightly humpbacked over the large central arch and only single track.
The new bridge at Sligachan is similar in style to the many 1930s bridges built in the Highlands, although a definite date has not yet been found. It has a single, wide concrete arch to span the river, and is then rubble faced to help it blend into the landscape. The junction between the A87 and A863 remains immediately to the west of the bridge, with the slight change being that the A863 has been extended slightly northwards to meet the A87s new alignment.
