Glenuig: Evening View

I’ll end this 30-day saga of sharing Photos of the Day with a very personal image: the view from my beloved cottage outside Dornoch. Every morning as I parted the curtains, the morning version of this view thrilled me. And every evening, I waited and watched anxiously to see how the skies and the light would enhance that view. A simple pasture, pines, a rock wall, but such drama! Read more about Dornoch and her grand skies from a favorite book of mine by Lorne Ruberstein: A Season in Dornoch: Golf and Life in the Scottish Highlands. (See direct link to Amazon below to read more or order!) Stay tuned for what’s coming next on this blog, including direct purchase of prints via PayPal! Thanks!

Morning Bells, St. Andrews

The Old Course, St. Andrews is closed to golfers on Sundays, which was perfect timing for our arrival. I took off and walked the entire course—out 9 and back in 9—fully engaged with my camera. This image captures the light and enchantment I felt alone out there in a mystical, historical world .  To savor more about St. Andrews, click on St. Andrews.

Signed, limited edition prints of Morning Bells are available from Sally Ross Photography: 9.4″ x 14″ ($65.00); 16″ x 24″ ($175.00); 20″ x 30″ ($290.00).

Glen Coe

The most stunning view I saw across miles and miles of stunning Scottish scenery! Glencoe is renowned for its history as well.  From Celtic heroes of old through clan battles and the Clearances, Glencoe represents the grandeur and the agonies that are Scotland.  Read more at GLEN COE.

Highland Loch II: Blustery Day

The lochs, hills, grasses, and skies of the Northern Highlands change constantly under shifting light and clouds.  One minute the scene is dark and eerie, and the next moment sunlight dances across hills and fields as in this shot.  No wonder the Highlands are known for their drama, both natural and human.  This view is of Loch Hope, known as one of Scotland’s best sea trout fishing lochs.  I see this Loch II image as a partner to yesterday’s post: Highland Loch I: Cold Day.  I’d like to go back and shoot all day from any one spot in the Highlands.  And even more I’d love to walk the Highlands slowly…  Click on WALK to read more about walking Scotland.

Highalnd Loch I: Cold Day

Deep July cold followed us as we drove the northern Highlands.  The dark, flat waters near Loch Loyal, the wind in the grasses, and the gray, foreboding clouds suggest both the vastness the land and the intensity of the weather.  Everything here in Caithness and Sutherland, along the A836. is open to the caprice of the weather.  Click on HIGHLANDS to dream more about my favorite place in the world.

Leaving Orkney

During a day trip around the isles of Orkney, I couldn’t stop creating images of the place.  This sunset view from the ferry to John ‘O Groats lingers with me still.  You’ll find many photographs from Orkney in my collection.  Its ancient history, glorious summer scenery where land almost always meets water, and generous people make it a wonderful outing if you can get to the northern most eastern tip of Scotland. Click ORKNEY to learn more.

NOTE: You’ll notice that I’ve chose this image to represent my work on this blog!  (*Sorry about missing two days while I was at great Rock Eagle, GA, arts exhibition!  Thanks to all who visited our booth and “adopted” one of my fine art prints!!)

This signed, limited edition (/50) fine art print is available from Sally Ross Photography: 16″ x 5″ ($75.00); 32″ x 10″ ($150.00); 48″ x 15″ ($350.00).  Its long and narrow vista fits beautifully into that special place in your home.

Technology, outside Ceres, Scotland

Bob and Kathy were great B&B hosts in Ceres, just a few miles outside of St. Andrews. For the most part, my morning walks were along paths untrodden by other tourists’ boots. One outing took me through the village where I came upon the wonders of the Fife Folk Museum with its yards full of antique machinery. The detail of these gears caught my eye, especially against the contrasting stone.  Learn more about the Fife Folk Museum by clicking on those words.

This signed limited edition print is available from Sally Ross Photography: 11″ x 16.4″ ($90.00); 16″ x 24″ ($175.00); 20″ x 30″ ($290.00).

Dawn, Isle of Skye, Scotland

After passing the famous Eilean Donan Castle on Loch Alsh, we arrived in Broadford, just across from the Scottish mainland on the Isle of Skye.  I was up early the next day for a morning walk and caught this sunrise over Broadford Bay.   Many adventures awaited us on the Isle of Skye, but we spent just as many hours relaxing in Broadford.  Can you see why?  Click on BROADFORD to learn more about this charming community.

This fine art, signed, limited edition giclee print (#5/50) is available from Sally Ross Photography: 14″ x 9.4″ ($65.00); 24″ x 16″ ($175.00); 30″ x 20″ ($290.00).
