I spent a few days up on Harris last week, it was very windy with lots of wintry showers. The wintry showers were rather pretty on the horizon at sunset one night. #photography #scotland #sunset

The damp dark grey skies have been rather overpowering the past month, so it was nice to see a glimpse of colour last night at Loch Garry. #loch #sunset #scotland #landscape

During a brief visit to the Isle of Skye on Wednesday, the light was really nice for a few mins over Cleat (1100 feet), which is a neighbour of The Quiraing. I managed to get this shot before the dark clouds in the background came over and it started raining. #scotland #landscapephotography

It's normally the other around with a cloudy horizon and clearer sky above, so it's always wonderful to watch the sun slip below the clouds onto the clear horizon. #Scotland #IsleOfLewis #Hebrides #sunset #landscapephotography

The first time I ever went to Hayden Valley I get a herd of bison sitting on the hilltop! Very lucky indeed. They apparently climb up there to graze as the some is not so deep. #yellowstone #winter #landscape #photography #landscapephotography #snow #usa
