Of Castles, Jugglers, Mountains and Mist
This is a further collection of photographs taken on my recent trip to Inverness. Having taken pictures at Eilean Donan castle, we drove over the bridge to the Isle of skye. In the 8th picture, with the Old Man of Storr in the background, you’ll notice a boat, halfway up a mountain. It seemed incongruous, as did the man who appeared as I was taking pictures and started a very impressive display of juggling in his garden. Click on the images for a clearer sharper view of the photographs! :-)

#4 and #6 are my favourites out of this stunning selection.
Can’t spot the juggler though ;-)
April 27, 2015 at 6:40 pm
Thank you very much Jude! I added another picture and didn’t update. The juggler is to the right of the boat in picture No.8 :-)

Impossible to pick a favourite and how lovely to see such glorious sunshine shots from this part of the world.
April 27, 2015 at 6:42 pm
Thank you Patti! The weather was glorious! :-)
April 27, 2015 at 7:48 pm
Amazing photography.
April 27, 2015 at 8:19 pm
Thank you very much Lou!

Beautiful shots and that’s some impressive fog rolling in.
April 27, 2015 at 8:44 pm
Thank you Gunta! It rolled in and stayed. Thankfully we were above it the whole time!
April 28, 2015 at 6:29 am
Astonishingly beautiful pictures. Congratulations!
Thanks for sharing
April 27, 2015 at 9:27 pm
Thank you for looking Isabel. Very much appreciated!
April 28, 2015 at 6:30 am
Wonderful photos, Adrian. The first one looks like fairytale.
April 27, 2015 at 9:45 pm
Thank you Sylvia! Fairytale indeed!
April 28, 2015 at 6:32 am
Oh man; one kick-ass photo after another. I’m gobsmacked. :-)
April 27, 2015 at 11:59 pm
Thank you Frank! :-)
April 28, 2015 at 6:32 am
Beautiful…I really liked the one with the low clouds in the valley.
April 28, 2015 at 2:41 am
Thank you very much Amelia! :-)
April 28, 2015 at 6:33 am
The Scottish landscape is stunning and you captured it beautifully in these photos.
April 28, 2015 at 6:50 am
Thank you very much Otto! We were very lucky with the weather and it was nice to have the opportunity to take these picture postcard type photographs. The Sony AR7 performed admirably. :-)
April 28, 2015 at 5:53 pm
Lovely photos of a beautiful country
April 28, 2015 at 8:24 am
It really is a beautiful country and the weather did us proud! Thanks Mum! :-)x
April 28, 2015 at 5:54 pm
beautiful photos
April 28, 2015 at 10:48 am
Thank you very much Shimon! :-)
April 28, 2015 at 5:54 pm
Beautiful collection, Adrian…seems to be out of your normal fare…but so very nice to experience, nonetheless. Thank you for sharing them with us. :)
April 28, 2015 at 1:30 pm
Thank you Scott! The weather conspired to allow me to take these picture postcard type shots. As you say, a little different to my normal fare but I was very much in tourist mode and enjoying the ease and simplicity of the Sony AR7 compared to the Nikon D800 with tripod and the rest of the kit. I think this relative freedom definitely affected my photography in a very positive way. That’s not to say I’m ready to trade in my D800! :-)
April 28, 2015 at 5:59 pm
Oh, no…don’t trade it away…! Glad to see you making the best of it, though, being unrestrained from the kit. :)
April 30, 2015 at 1:47 pm
Oh this is so pretty !! So so so pretty !! I can’t believe how you’ve been blessed with the weather :-)
April 28, 2015 at 1:37 pm
We were so lucky with the weather! A perfect mini break that I’ll definitely be repeating. Perhaps in the autumn. My experience of Scotland has always been that late April/May or September/early October are the times to visit!
April 28, 2015 at 6:02 pm
Oh well, we will try our luck in June and if it’s a disaster, we will try autumn :D
April 28, 2015 at 6:36 pm
I hope you have so fabulous Weather. You just never know with Scotland. Fingers crossed for you! :-)
April 29, 2015 at 5:40 pm
Last year we went to Edinburgh for 4 days, and we had 1 awful day and 3 good ones. It’s not that bad. We will see yes :-)
April 30, 2015 at 6:50 am

April 30, 2015 at 7:31 am
Fantastic Pictures!
April 28, 2015 at 5:58 pm
Thank you very much! :-)
April 28, 2015 at 6:14 pm
Wonderful serie! Great edit!
April 28, 2015 at 6:32 pm
Thank you Hans! :-)
April 29, 2015 at 5:40 pm
With those daffodils gracing your foreground there ChillB it’s certainly Springtime in Scotland !
A wonderful gallery of images from your mini break … love the rolling mist across the water …tree shadows … the beach is just perfection … and who’d have thought you’d have captured a juggler. All in one day :-)
Fabulous photos ChillB x
April 28, 2015 at 6:55 pm
Thank you so much Poppy! It really was a wonderful trip! :-) x
April 29, 2015 at 5:39 pm

April 28, 2015 at 7:58 pm
Thank you very much Mark! :-)
April 29, 2015 at 5:36 pm
So beautiful, I can feel the freshness of spring in these landscapes.
April 29, 2015 at 9:40 am
Thank you Bente! It was wonderful to see so much spring sunshine whilst in Scotland! :-)
April 29, 2015 at 5:38 pm
Absolutely breathtaking photos! I can’t wait to see a lot more! Thank you! Cher xo
April 29, 2015 at 12:59 pm
Thank you very much Cher! :-)

the first picture is so beautiful!

Thank you so much! :-)

Beautiful travelogue. I especially love the palette on the fourth one down from the top.
May 1, 2015 at 3:50 pm
Thank you very much John! It was a fabulous trip to Scotland!
May 1, 2015 at 3:52 pm
Fantastic series ~ diverse and great use of light. The Eilean Donan castle is such a sight, and with the foreground framing your opening shot is a spectacular way to start this great series.
May 2, 2015 at 3:33 am
Thank you very much indeed Randall! :)
May 2, 2015 at 4:41 pm
Just came across your blog. Stunning photos! The composition and the light in the photos are perfect. And it helps having such an amazing landscape to capture:) Very nice!
May 2, 2015 at 3:59 am
Thank you very much Inger! :)
May 2, 2015 at 4:41 pm
All of them are beautiful. After watching several times I guess I like nr. 4 and 6 the most.
May 3, 2015 at 6:01 pm
Thank you Sandra! :-)
May 3, 2015 at 8:09 pm
Ahh – beautiful Scotland! This is a great collection Adrian; my favourites are the backlit tree and sunburst castle (5 & 6).
May 4, 2015 at 8:40 am
Thank you Noeline! Beautiful Scotland indeed and we were so lucky with the weather. Scotland is especially beautiful when the sun shines. I’ve seen a fair bit of decidedly damp and very grey Scotland. It’s not quite the same! :-)
May 4, 2015 at 3:38 pm
something different and looks excellent :)
May 4, 2015 at 2:31 pm
Thank you very much Joshi! :-)
May 4, 2015 at 3:39 pm
A pleasure browsing through these.
May 4, 2015 at 6:51 pm
Thank you again Emilio! It was a real pleasure taking them! :-)
May 4, 2015 at 7:21 pm
Amazing…4 & 6
