Bunessan is in the Ross of Mull, a small coastal village on the road to the island of Iona. The weather while I was there did give the opportunity for photographing some dramatic skies
This is another picture from on top of the Quiraing in the North East of the Isle Of Skye. A stormy and windy day for your intrepid explorer.
Eigg as seen across Loch Nevis from Sgurr na Ciche. I could have sat up here for hours relaxing but I had a long walk. back
Peaceful, picturesque and very scenic is the Harbour at Portree which is the main town on the Isle of Skye. The Sun is setting fast after another wonderful day of fantastic weather and sightseeing.
I had despatched "Er Indoors" to the Co-op Supermarket, but she still managed to photobomb the shot...
Allt Coir a' Mhadaidh tumbles down from the slopes of the Black Cuillins across the valley, and onward down Glen Brittle. There are a number of waterfalls and pools known as "The Fairy Pools" with vivid colour.

The Hebrides
Can’t believe it was 5 years (2012) when we went here. Have five lots of items to post. This is the fourth. A very beautiful place to visit with the weather on your side, could imagine it to be very bleak.

The Isle of Rum from Singing Sands beach on the Isle of Eigg at sunset, Isle of Eigg, Small Isles, Inner Hebrides, Highlands, Scotland, UK
First port of call on a trip to Skye yesterday with Iain (Highlandscape) was Camous Croise on the road to Armadale. Here we are looking across the (Isle of) Ornsay Lighthouse to the mainland around Glenelg and Knoydart. The low cloud scudding across the hill tops was to be a problem for almost all of the day but there were sufficient breaks in it to allow some light on the mid and backgrounds.
The Torridon Hills surround Torridon village in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. The name is usually applied to the mountains to the north of Glen Torridon. They are among the most dramatic and spectacular peaks in the British Isles and made of some of the oldest rocks in the world. This picture was captured in one of the many viewing areas off from the main road driving toward the inner mainland. Caught the aircraft flying overhead of these amazing range of mountains with their very own weather and cloud.

Oil drilling platforms and varying Rigs rest out in the Invergordon bay off the Cromarty Firth in North East Scotland. Those with a good eye can see the HMS Prince of Wales moored up at Invergordon also.
Taken from just southwest of Bidein Druim nan Ramh after ascending via Sgùrr an Fheadain. Coir'-uisg (pronounced CorOOSHK) means water hollow - I believe it's quite marshy down there as you get nearer to the loch.

Eigg is one of the Small Isles, in the Scottish Inner Hebrides. It lies to the south of the Skye and to the north of the Ardnamurchan peninsula. Eigg is 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) long from north to south, and 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) east to west. With an area of 12 square miles (31 km2), it is the second largest of the Small Isles after Rùm
Rùm a Scottish Gaelic name often anglicised to Rum is one of the Small Isles of the Inner Hebrides, in the district of Lochaber, Scotland. For much of the 20th century the name became Rhum, a spelling invented by the former owner, Sir George Bullough, because he did not relish the idea of having the title "Laird of Rum".
It is the largest of the Small Isles, and the fifteenth largest Scottish island, but is inhabited by only about thirty or so people, all of whom live in the village of Kinloch on the east coast. The island has been inhabited since the 8th millennium BC and provides some of the earliest known evidence of human occupation in Scotland
The view from my window this morning, hello Skye! :-)
What a wonderful view to wake up to, feel so lucky.
That yellow is so bright, the sun seems to hit it and make it even brighter, I tried to tone it down a bit in Photoshop. But that is actually how bright it is in sunshine.
There is no processing, trickery or anything involved in this picture but simply a rather effective picture taken on a Long exposure with the zooming motion used with the Camera and Lens.
“Every time I stand before a beautiful beach, its waves seem to whisper to me:
If you choose the simple things and find joy in nature’s simple treasures, life and living need not be so hard.”

According to Wikipedia, Staffa (Scottish Gaelic: Stafa, (pronounced [s̪t̪afa]) from the Old Norse for stave or pillar island), is an island of the Inner Hebrides in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. The Vikings gave it this name as its columnar basalt reminded them of their houses, which were built from vertically placed tree-logs
Staffa lies about 10 kilometres (6 mi) west of the Isle of Mull. The area is 33 hectares (82 acres) and the highest point is 42 metres (138 ft) above sea level
The island came to prominence in the late 18th century after a visit by Sir Joseph Banks. He and his fellow-travellers extolled the natural beauty of the basalt columns in general and of the island's main sea cavern, which Banks renamed 'Fingal's Cave'
Their visit was followed by those of many other prominent personalities throughout the next two centuries, including Queen Victoria and Felix Mendelssohn. The latter's Hebrides Overture brought further fame to the island, which was by then uninhabited. It is now in the care of the National Trust for Scotland
