Buachaille Etive Mòr

Photographing Buachaille Etive Mòr – Scottish Highlands

4 May 2016 – The flow of a gently cascading waterfall in the foreground…check. Imposing pyramid shaped mountain in the background…check. Ominous dark rain clouds up above…check. A cup of hot chocolate and a toasted croissant…nope. Said beverage and food item aside, it seemed that my wife and I had all the right elements for…

The view from Calton Hill – Edinburgh, Scotland

28 April 2016 – As it turned out, the night was indeed dark and stormy, though not dark and stormy enough to keep the shutterbugs away!
