PENTLAND HILLS FROM FLOTTERSTONE

maly spacer po pentlandach kilka tygodni temu. strasznie wietrzenie bylo, masakra, ciezko bylo oddychac. ale jak to zawsze mowie - im bardziej wieje tym lepsze zdjecia :)

.

just a short stroll in pentlands, few weeks ago. it was a very windy day, so windy that i struggled to breathe at one point. but, as i always say - the windier it is, the better pictures!

OFF TO GLENCOE...

nocna jazda do glencoe ma swoje plusy - widok porannych mgiel, wschodu slonca ponad spiacymi szczytami jest niezapomnianym przezyciem. lepiej dnia nie da sie zaczac...

.

night driving to glencoe had some advantages too. looking at morning mists above lochs and mountain peaks, looking at the sunrise above the summits.. unbelievable. can you think of any better start of a day?!?!?!?! :)
