This was a lucky capture on a visit to Loch Morlich one March day. It was unseasonably warm at 18C. A very peaceful loch scene with a sandy shore leading to a calm loch. There are several sailing boats dotted around the loch and a green rowing boat has been pulled up onto the shoreline - just enticing the viewer to climb aboard and row out onto the loch.
We were passing through Carrbridge when I decided to take this image of the Packhorse bridge. I was pleased to see that the river was reasonably low - and showed the bridge off well. This bridge was build in the 1800s to allow people to cross the River Dulnain. Today, this historic bridge remain standing.
We were visiting Gairloch and on the way there I noticed this small building. So, on the way back I just had to stop and capture it. It looks as if its an old, deserted, ruined and isolated bothy sits nestled in the lee of a hill. It reminded me of all the buildings that were left following the Highland Clearances.

This angle is slightly different to the normal photos you'll we as it is taken from river level and slightly to the side.
In Caithness we visited Noss Head. However, if you follow one of the routes you will come to this location. As you can see from this picture there are fantastic seastacks in this area. I particularly like where the sea has eroded the seastacks leaving a central pillar. On one of the cliffs is the derelict Castle Sinclair Girnigoe.
Following a visit to Lossiemouth we decided to walk along the beach. This lighthouse was the last thing we expected to see. I was surprised at how close it was to the beach. In the rock below there are caves that have been carved out by the relentless sea. The lighthouse is at Covesea, near Lossiemouth in Moray, Scotland
We pass this area nearly every day on our woodland walks. This area was covered in dense commercial woodland, until one day they got felled and it left a really picturesque scene. This photograph shows the cut logs in the foreground, and tall trees behind them. The whole scene is bathed with warm winter sunshine.
This river embankment really caught my attention. Amongst the trees at the top of the image are glimpses of yellow flowers. These then blend into a patch of white flowers which give way to brightly coloured pink and red flowers. It left me with the impression of a river of flowers meandering their way from the top to the bottom.
Sometimes you're just sitting there, minding your own business, when a kaleidoscope or flutter of butterflies just come along to talk. Here we have a black and fox red Labradors sitting on grass, interspersed with flowers. In the background are hills, some snow covered. And a kaleidoscope of butterflies are fluttering around the dogs heads. This is a mix of digital art and photograph based work.
This isn't a painting - this is a photo of a cutting through a rock face. Here we get a small insight into the history of this cliff face. We see near vertical lines that were caused by the blasting process. That reveals amazing colours and textures where different rock types ended up cutting through each other to create this amazing colourful rock. The rocks, are basalt, granite and gneiss. This colourful rock is near Laxford Bridge in the Scottish Highlands beside the route of the North Cost 500.
While out for a walk along a beach I came across the most wonderful piece of geology which I had to photograph. This is a piece of rock which is built up by a sequence of different rock layers, giving a range of colours. The rocks have then been tilted. This design is a slice of geology taken from a rock formation (the Rosemarkie Metamorphic Complex) at Rosemarkie beach in the Scottish Highlands. Doesn’t nature give us the most amazing things?
A relatively rare environment of bog land in the Flow Country located in the Scottish Highlands. Here we see a landscape that is covered in a carpet of small ponds. Peeping through the surface of each of the ponds are little shoots of Bog Bean. In the distance we see this land is overlooked by a mountain with a threatening sky overhead.
Your eye is drawn to a distant horizon, but between you and that horizon is the expanse of Loch Sheil, surrounded by mountains on either side, leading you away from safe shores. This is Loch Sheil near Fort William, in the Scottish Highlands. On this shore Bonnie Prince Charlie started his campaign in the mid 1700s.
