Highland Thoughts

[Mathos]

The Hinterlands of Scotland’s West Coast
and indeed the Islands within the waters
of the western regions are lands of great rugged beauty,
historical miscellany, amazing animals, mammals, birds and indeed people.


I have quite a bit of first hand information from several
very interesting locations we have recently visited along
this majestic, mountainous Highland Region.

Hopefully the same will be of interest to many.

I thought I would simply introduce the thread
this evening with a few small interesting photographs,
then make a more determined impact over the coming weeks.

Lets go for it:-



There's something very special when you come across a scene like this.

Taking the photograph is a way of begging that the reality
of what you are seeing is caught on camera and may
reflect the ghosts of the reality as you saw it for that
fleeting moment in time.




There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rolling in
The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders
There's a truck out on the highway a mile or more away
The whining of his wheels just makes it colder

He's an hour away from riding on your prayers up in the sky
And ten days on the road are barely gone
There's a fire softly burning, suppers on the stove
But its the light in your eyes that makes him warm

What a view.




Hey Mafos, my Daddy says you gotta pay me for taking my picture!



That's right Mafos.

Don't you mess with the 'Hairy Beasties'
