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...
Resting together - The abandoned fishing trawlers at Salen on the Isle of Mull under a moody, dark and brooding sky.
There is a melancholy beauty to these wrecks as they mark the passage of time, slowly rotting, crumbling to an ever perilous state of decay; resting together and hinting at an existence and former working island life that once was.
An old Hebridean tradition, boats left to decay on the shoreline where they came to rest at the end of their working lives make for a poignant sight.

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.

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.

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.”

Taken last summer on the charming but wind-swept Isle of Skye (An t-Eilean Sgitheanach, in Scottish Gaelic), right after the sunset.

The lighthouse was first lit in 1909 and fully automated in 1990. The lighthouse tower is 62 feet (19 meters) high and stands 142 feet (43 meters) above sea-level. The light from the tower can be seen from up to 24 miles (39 km) away. Beyond the lighthouse you can see the Outer Hebrides and the Atlantic Ocean.
Did you know that the novel "To the Lighthouse" (1927) by Virginia Woolf is set in the Ramsays' summer home in the Hebrides, on the Isle of Skye? One thing we could not figure out is whether the novel is referring to this lighthouse or not...

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

Loch Tuath, Isle of Mull | Scotland
Similar to the first image I posted in this series, but of a different eagle. It's my favourite photo from the session as the frame caught the bird a split second before it took the fish. It was the image I wanted - wings well back, talons stretched and eyes focused.
I favoured the slower D850 over the D500 to ensure I captured as much detail as possible. It cost me 3fps, but fortunately we had a few opportunities to get the photos that mattered.
Although I’ll probably post a couple more shots over the next day or two, if you want to see a good selection of images and read about the session then please see the ’Mull - Sea Eagles’ photo set on my website.
