Just popping in with a quick "hello", as I have visitors this week so am mainly offline being hostess and tour guide. Had a quick wander at the Ben Lawers Nature Reserve yesterday, home to the Best Rocky Stream and friendliest clouds.

A photo of a beautiful mountainside with a small rocky stream running down it. There are large lichen covered boulders, patches of still dark brown heather, mossy grass and bare, just budding trees. In the distance is a mountain peak, with a blue sky above. There is one cloud poking up from behind the mountain. It has a smiling face and upturned arms, greeting you to this lovely place.

There is something very peaceful and relaxing about sitting with sheep.

A square photo of the side of Brodick Castle on the Isle of Arran. It is a red stone baronial building atop a small hill covered in daffodils. The sky beyond is blue.

"Full many a glorious morning have I seen
Flatter the mountain-tops with sovereign eye,
Kissing with golden face the meadows green,
Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy"
- #ShakespeareSunday, Sonnet 33

Queen's View on Loch Tummel in the Tay Forest Park, Highland Perthshire, #Scotland.

In the distance is Schiehallion, the "Fairy Mountain."
This shot was taken in early Autumn, as the foliage was beginning to change.

A colour photo of a landscape dominated by a body of water and green grassy banks dipping towards its shores. The foreground is a bank of trees, conifers and deciduous in a natural mix. The sky is mostly clear, some small clouds are adding shadows across the scene. In the centre is a distant, conical mountain, recoloured by tonal perspective. It's very beautiful.

Undiscovered Scotland @UndisScot@mastodon.scot

Culross in Fife, on the north shore of the Firth of Forth. The village has been beautifully restored over many years and is the nearest thing to a 16th century time capsule that Scotland has to offer. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/culross/culross/index.html

Culross in Fife. The image shows a lane leading between very old buildings towards a white three-storey building in the distance. The buildings on the left are coated in a yellow harling, while those on the right are finished in natural stone and white. The roofs are mainly red pantiles. There are open stone stairways leading up to the first floor on both sides of the lane. There are signs of snow on the ground and the sky is blue.

Bass

The Bass Rock is an island in the outer part of the Firth of Forth in the east of #Scotland. Approximately 2 km (1 mi) offshore, and 5 km (3 mi) north-east of North Berwick, it is a steep-sided volcanic plug, 107 m (351 ft) at its highest point, and is home to a huge colony of gannets.

At high zoom, the true density of the bird colony is obvious.

A colour photo of one side of a steep-sided island, with a clear cyan sky overhead and a calm blue sea. The more horizontal ledges of the island are painted white by guano and the overflow has almost completely covered the vertical faces. At 100% magnification, individual birds can be seen, covering every available nesting ledge of which there are many. Beyond the island, on the left, the air is full of birds arriving and departing.

Common Toads

A few images from today's wander around the woods, watching the local toads making their way slowly to bodies of water, to spawn.

Are you visiting #Skye this year? My new Skye and the #InnerHebrides guidebook recommends the island's most interesting nooks and crannies, with lots of good reasons to take your time exploring.

I have a treat for you...

My new portfolio featuring Torridon and Applecross in the Scottish Highlands is now live! https://www.iancylkowski.com/the-scottish-highlands/torridon-applecross

These photos taken all the way back in October 2016, when I was still using a Nikon D7000. I've only ever been to this part of the Scottish Highlands once, and I YEARN to go back again.

#landscape #landscapephotography #autumn #fall #nature #travel #scotland #torridon #applecross #uk #britain

A serene highland scene showing a small, multi-tiered waterfall cascading over dark, rocky steps in bright sunlight, with a steep, grass-covered mountain rising behind it and a clear blue sky above, creating a striking contrast between the rushing white water in the foreground and the golden-lit slopes of the Applecross Peninsula in the distance.

A tranquil Highland scene with large, weathered boulders in the foreground bearing patches of moss and lichen, leading to the mirror-like surface of Loch Clair reflecting the imposing peak of Liathach rising beneath a bright blue sky, with the surrounding slopes tinged in muted autumnal shades that accentuate the stillness of the water.

A sweeping view from a grassy shoreline dotted with large, weathered rocks and a lone, wind-bent tree in the foreground, leading across the still waters of Loch Maree towards the imposing silhouette of Slioch, its rugged slopes rising against a muted sky, with the surrounding landscape tinged with warm, rusty hues that reflect the raw beauty of the Scottish Highlands.

A dramatic mountain vista captured from a high ridge, with steep cliffs plunging into a broad, winding valley below where two small lochans nestle among golden-brown moorland and rugged slopes, all framed by a hazy, layered backdrop of distant peaks under a subdued, overcast sky.

Continuing to share favourite images from my 30+ year photographic career. Focus for the next few days, my love of the greatest mode of transport ever invented, the bicycle. Here’s another from Scotland, in fact the same day as yesterday’s pic, descending back to Torridon. One of the best days I’ve ever had on a bike.

Two riders on mountain bikes descend a band of clear smooth rock between heather, in warm evening light. In the background we see a loch on the left and a skyline of rugged hills below a blue sky with clouds turning golden in the sunset.

Minister for Equalities Kaukab Stewart has launched a pilot scheme providing free #rail travel for companions of blind and partially sighted individuals on all #ScotRail journeys across #Scotland, starting 1 April 2025. Announced at #Anniesland Station in Glasgow, the initiative allows those with an eye +1 National Entitlement Card to travel with a companion at no extra cost, aiming to enhance #accessibility and affordability for visually impaired passengers. Running for one year, the scheme aligns with existing concessionary travel policies for #buses and ferries in Scotland. Ms Stewart highlighted its importance for community access, education, and employment, while Craig Spalding, Chief Executive of #Sight Scotland, noted the significant achievement of the Fair Rail Campaign, emphasising the positive impact on independence and community connection for visually impaired individuals.

Also got to watch many dogs out in the sunshine living their best life.

A photo of a field striped with shadow and frost. Both the foreground and background a blurred, to emphasise a frosty strip running horizontally across the centre where a black dog with white feet and tail tip runs joyfully at great speed. It's not a great photo, but it feels happy so that's something.
