The Western Highlands - Loch Eil, if I recall correctly.
Only just (re)found on my computer and edited it now. Better late than never... I edited it to give it a painterly feel
Oban (An t-Òban in Scottish Gaelic meaning The Little Bay) is a resort town within the Argyll and Bute council area of Scotland. Despite its small size, it is the largest town between Helensburgh and Fort William. During the tourist season, the town can have a temporary population of up to over 24,000 people. Oban occupies a setting in the Firth of Lorn. The bay forms a near perfect horseshoe, protected by the island of Kerrera; and beyond Kerrera, the Isle of Mull. To the north, is the long low island of Lismore and the mountains of Morvern and Ardgour.

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
Scotland, the land of mysterious castles, magical lakes and forests, wild coastlines, is an invitation to travel. A country that loves culture, nature, animals - domestic and wild - and that offers the visitor a warm welcome.
St Monans is a village and parish in the East Neuk of Fife and is named after the legendary Saint Monan. Situated approximately 3 miles west of Anstruther, this small community, whose inhabitants formerly made their living mainly from fishing, is now a tourist destination situated on the Fife Coastal Path. The former burgh rests on a hill overlooking the Firth of Forth, with views to North Berwick, the Bass Rock and the Isle of May. St Monans contains many historical buildings, including the now defunct windmill (which can be visited) that once powered a salt panning industry, and a 14th-century church that sits on the rocks above the water on the western side. Approximately ½ mile west of St Monans are the remains of Newark Castle, a 16th-century manor that has since fallen to ruin through cliff erosion and disrepair. In 2002, with the permission of Historic Scotland, an unsuccessful attempt to restore the castle was made.
The civil parish has a population of 1,357 (in 2011).

I guess they could have been almost from anywhere, but they are from Scotland. I like them, I think, because of the colors and the lines that form if you connect the dots. I think...
There are more pictures from Scotland – both landscapes, urban photos, castles and flowers – in the Scotland album.

There was a competition. Red Roofs of Scotland. It was the first competiton I ever entered. I won Third Prize £200 which certainly covered the petrol costs of a long drive up to Shieldaig purely to grab this picture. Standing in front of the building I used the process of taking a panoramic shot to show the front of the house whilst showing the view to the front at the same time. I really liked the winning shot, and you can see the other finalists and runners-up here
