HIDEAWAY # 3
Scotland , a land blessed with landscapes of indescribable beauty, rich in splendor and
entrenched in history. This photograph was taken in the northwest region of the country, inbetween
the towns of Ullapool and Scourie.
Throughout Scotland one finds reminisces of their ancient and fascinating past. The surrounds
of crystal clear water made this location particularly beautiful. Fortunately on the
day that I photographed the scene, heavy weather had moved in from the Atlantic Ocean ,
bringing with it dark cloud which created a moody atmosphere.
In the ghostly hush, with just the sound of the trickling stream to break the silence, one
could almost hear the thunder of hooves as William Wallace led his army against the invasion
of the English. A county which boasts more than 700 islands, gently rolling landscapes,
majestic mountains and a gathering of inland lakes, one can understand why Scotland is
renowned as a photographer’s paradise. |
