Tarbet is a tiny, idyllic-looking port a few miles north of Scourie in the Lewisian Gneiss country in Sutherland, from which boat trips are available to the bird reserve on Handa Island. It has a well-regarded seafood restaurant and this very pretty loch.

Menai Strait...
The Menai Suspension Bridge (Welsh: Pont y Borth, Pont Grog y Borth) is a suspension bridge to carry road traffic between the island of Anglesey and the mainland of Wales. The bridge was designed by Thomas Telford and completed in 1826 and is a Grade I listed structure.
Construction of the bridge, to Telford's design, began in 1819 with the towers on either side of the strait. These were constructed from Penmon limestone and were hollow with internal cross-walls. Then came the sixteen huge chain cables, each made of 935 iron bars, that support the 176-metre (577 ft) span. To avoid rusting between manufacture and use, the iron was soaked in linseed oil and later painted. The chains each measured 522.3 metres (1,714 ft) and weighed 121 long tons (123 t; 136 short tons). Their suspending power was calculated at 2,016 long tons (2,048 t; 2,258 short tons). The bridge was opened to much fanfare on 30 January 1826.
Menai Strait
The Menai Strait was created by glacial erosion along a line of weakness associated with the Menai Strait Fault System. During a series of Pleistocene glaciations (that lasted from about 2,580,000 to 11,700 years ago) a succession of ice-sheets moved from northeast to southwest across Anglesey and neighbouring Arfon scouring the underlying rock creating a series of linear bedrock hollows. The deepest of these channels eventually became flooded by the sea as the ice sheets receded forming the Menai Strait.

Rowing Boats on Loch Rusky, The Trossachs, Scotland.
There's an old song:
Row, row, row your boat;
gently down the stream;
merily, merily, merily, merily;
Life is but a dream.
Seemed appropriate.
Early, cold morning at the Alpine lake Oeschinensee. Reflections of the Blümlisalp and Fründenhorn in the water.
This lake is a well known fishing lake in the area where I grew up and I used to fish here with my father when I was a child. The rowing boats you see in the picture can be rented.
This morning I wasn't here to catch any fish, but to capture the sunrise. It was obviously still too early for fishing, or maybe it was because it was a normal weekday, but this morning I was here all by myself.
Thank you for your visits, comments and faves
Boat in foggy morning - B&W
Valdres, Norway
This photo gave me the silver medal in the Norwegian National Championship 2022, free theme monocrome.
River view at camping Nya Skogsgården, Sweden, last year. A real paradise (except for the mosquitoes).
Our last holiday together
Thank you for taken your time to visit me, comments or faves are always much appreciated!
Rowing boat filled with water and yellow colored leaves fallen from the weeping willow tree on the shore. It is a sunny day in autumn in the Netherlands.

Horatio so wants to sail in his little row boat - but the sea is so very far away - and Chi Chi just isn’t trying hard enough!
Het spaarbekken van het Eiland van Dordrecht. Ook een ideale plek voor de kleine watersport.
Helaas wil het trieste verhaal van de Pfoa en Gen-X hier hun boodschap ook verspreiden.
Het spaarbekken waar de hele omgeving zijn drinkwater uit krijgt ligt aan de overzijde van de straat. Recht tegenover DuPont/ Chemours.
De foto is idyllisch maar de ramp is hier compleet!
Rowing boats and others on Lake Windermere, Cumbria, UK. One of my first attempts at texture overlays.

Thanks to Rawprints and Caddy359 for their extremely useful advice on how to shoot in Manual mode (and for giving me this opportunity to buy a brand new pair of wellies). :-) Those two guys are true professionals!
And a special thanks to Nino H as well, as he took the time to explain some of the mysteries of my new Canon!
(Les deux pieds dans le sable mouvant, le trépied qui coulait à pic... et voilà...) ;-)
Went with John Wilkinson on Monday evening for a jaunt around - once again went back to a place we had been before but this time around we found a slightly different foreground detail!
Murky March morning on Esthwaite Water in the Lake District, strange there were no takers for the rowing boats.
"Dinkelstein No. 12." Rowing boat.
Artwork made of sandstone. (Monolith) This is part of 25 works of art along the Dinkel. It is a cross-border project with Germany and is one of the most artistic cycling routes in the Netherlands.
I was lucky enough to see this on my first day in Venice! Vogalonga is an annual, non-competitive rowing event - “an act of love for Venice and the waters that surround it, for its lagoon and its islands, for rowing and its boats”. Approximately 2,000 rowing boats take part, with no restriction on weight, size, or number of rowers. The 30 km route from the lagoon, between the smaller islands, and with a triumphant finish down the Grand Canal, “celebrates the beauty and tradition of Venice and promotes the use of sustainable boats to protect Venice from wave motion”.

There is a well known Loch Awe in Argyll and Bute and this small one in the north (Inchnadamph, Sutherland).
