I find the Highlands' scenary dramatic and beautiful although I know some think it is bleak. I like the bold shapes and few signs of habitation. For my snap set I chose 4 scenic views taken on different walks
I like how there are layers beyond layers with the different hills and I think the clouds add to the dramatic effect.
The first is from a walk alongside a river which is fed entirely by a spring which seeps up through the limestone - the walk ends at a set of caves but I stopped about half way and enjoyed a sunny spot while others continued up to the caves
The second was another walk along a valley on a path that was used in the past as the main route out of the valley to the water and boats
The third is looking down towards a bridge over a deep gorge - we walked down there and over the bridge - my photos of the view from the bridge are not fabulous as I was holding on tight to the bridge railing at all times so had to operate my camera one handed
The last shows a rainbow - luckily we got home before the rain that caused it reached us
I think I caught up with all your snap sets from last week but if I missed any add them to the linky this week as well as your set for this week

A beautiful set of images, particularly that last one.
oh those would be such lovely walks, amazing SNAP capture of the rainbow. Rainbow, coincidence?
They are all great pictures. I love the feeling that we are walking along the path with you. I feel I want to go and pull my walking boots on!
The dramatic skies have stood out in all the landscape photos you've posted. This is a lovely set.
I'm with you: that's my kind of countryside
I like your wild shots very much - and the skies really add to the dramatic effect. How clever of you,to capture the rainbow!
These are great Helena, its my kind of scenery too. Glad you had a good time. x
These are gorgeous!!!
I would love to spend time there.

Such lovely views!!
What a lovely collection of shots - I like the second for the light, but always like to see a rainbow. Glad you made it home before the storm.
Love these snaps - hope to see some of these sights on our upcoming visit to Edinburgh. We have a day tour to some old castles and lochs booked for July 31
