The foothills of the Scottish Grampians provided me with the ideal opportunity to take photographs and experience the peace and tranquillity of the countryside...Please enjoy.

The cloudy sky seems very heavy. And the lights on the ground is like hope. I like this one.

This one, Mick dear, shows the reflection of the troubled sky in the peaceful sunny earth ... Dramatic and serene at the same time !!!
Great colours !

The grounds seems to glow even though the sky is dark (which by the way I quite like).

I'm 18 and don't travel much. But I tend to bring my camera around just to catch what sticks out from my everyday goings. (pardon me if I speak my mind) *~* Gallery *~*

I would have loved to be standing where this picture was taken. Nature is so beautiful to just sit and take in its beauty. This will make a fantastic desktop. Thanks for sharing.

I'm with BC on this one..it's funny how the ground appears to be lit from underneath..I know it's just a trick of the sun and clouds, but it certainly adds up to a very interesting view.

Your landscapes always have such a dramatic flair to them. This is a very powerful image. Love the ominous advancing clouds, the variety of the landscape and colours. A stellar work. :)

Rob (Viking_boy) above has the right idea ... put this one in the favorites. The stark contrast between sky and hillside here is the key to this lovely piece of work. The sunlight breaking through that cloud cover like a heavenly spotlight is stunning. The blend of gold, green and coppertone captured with your lens may cause many artists to put their easels, palettes and brushes up for sale on E-Bay.:o) It's a grand image you've posted Mick ... GRAND!

So cool....amazing colors. There's always something in photos that my eyes wander to that maybe they aren't meant to....with this one it's that group of trees at the top right. There so bright sandwiched between the dark gray clouds and the dark green hills. Great job!!!
