Back to Highlands

...or Scottish summer part II. What can I say? I just fell in love with this rainy, moody, unpredictable land. It's just too beautiful. Of course as a region (still) it's struggling with a lot difficulties and many things there could be easily critized...starting with the very particular taste in clothes ;) But these photos are not aiming to do that. Not this time. They are about how enchanting, dispite many flaws, imperfections and defects, this place is. And addictable - at least for me.


 Somewhere between Corran and Onich

On the way from Glasgow to Fort William. The sights along the A82 highway it's a story by itself

Another material for an independent post - Ben Nevis


In other words...to be continued :)
