mountains and ruins
We hadn’t planned on going on this road, but a car crash blocked the road we meant to take, necessitating a detour.
And what a detour it was…

before the rainbow
If you squint and/or zoom in, you may be able to see the tiny, faint piece of a rainbow on the far left. Just seconds after I made this photo, a huge, bright rainbow appeared, which resulted in a group of photographers going as fast as they could across wet rocks and slippery seaweed (while carrying cameras and tripods) to get the right angle for The Shot of wrecked boats and a rainbow (which shortly turned into a double rainbow).
Any non-photographers who saw the scramble probably thought, “Photographers are weird.”
They are not wrong, of course. But we’re weird in a nice way.

the ragged end
These boats met their end on the shore of Salen Bay, on the Isle of Mull and now they are a photographic destination. I’m not sure how long they’ve been there, but the boat on the left has a tree growing in it.

cliff and castle become one
I don’t even know what to say about this place or about this photo.
So…here’s a castle. And the North Atlantic. And sunset.

boat/tilt
Even if you don’t necessarily think of yourself as a landscape photographer, but you get the chance to go to the Scottish Highlands with Don Toothaker and Karl Griffin, you should do everything in your power to make it happen.
It’s hard to find two better photographers/teachers than Don and Karl. Then there’s the added benefit that the two of them together are just hilarious. And don’t overlook the fact that the Highlands are full of fabulous things to see and photograph. Like this beached ship, to give but one example. (More examples coming though, so don’t even worry about that.)
