Way t' go Lando!

Fluffy clouds over mountains.

Bare trees.

Shut down for winter.

Sunrise over still water.

Sunrises may be very late on December mornings this far north, but they certainly have their moments.

It would be great though, if Trump were to lose. There would be blood!

I wonder who will be the 'FIFA Peace Prize' winner later today.

Let's just take a guess.

Nope. Never seen one there. Lots of taller ones nearby are popular though.

Full moon.

What a cold supermoon.

Bright dark at the moment.

Ancient rock formations.

Evening light helping reveal the geology by Loch Shieldaig.

I see that the folk at Ullapool have built a Christmas tree out of creel pots. (Photo from the BBC website).

Steep forest in the snow.

Another snowy one I never got round to posting. The west face of Ben Shieldaig.

Trees and snow covered mountain.

I'm not sure if it's subconscious on my part, but I do seem to take photos of trees that mirror the angles of the hills behind. These all taken two weeks ago.

Snow capped mountains reflected in a freshwater loch.

Cold and still by Loch an Loin.

Just got to work out which way to point it.

Buildings reflected in a still sea.

Saturday morning, Shieldaig village.

A very still Loch Carron (North Atlantic) yesterday morning.

Bridge over the sea.

The Skye Bridge earlier this morning. The Applecross Peninsula and Torridon Hills in the far distance.

Snow topped mountains by an empty road.

The road heading east from Shieldaig towards Kinlochewe.

Dawn.

Visible snow or sleet driven by the wind over a Highland landscape.

A snow (or sleet) shower approaching Upper Loch Torridon from the north west about an hour ago.

Cheese!

Empty street with lampposts.

07:40 this morning, Main Street, Shieldaig.

Pine Marten.

Any chance of a snack?

Golden landscape and still water.

Looking across Loch Kishorn towards Sgùrr a Chaorachain. (2,600 ft)... and a duck (0 feet).

Photo taken on Wednesday.

Lighthouse

Eilean Ban Lighthouse yesterday (underneath the Skye Bridge).

Orange sunrise over still water.

Lovely colours over a mirror still Loch Dughaill yesterday morning. I had to hang onto a branch and lean out over the water to get this. It could have gone one of two ways.
