A Holiday in the Highlands

 

We decided last week to take a few days holiday in the Scottish Highlands to stay with my brother-in-law.  We had a lovely relaxing time following the two previous stressful weeks of moving house.  This is the view from their sitting room window - it's so wonderful and peaceful, just what we needed.

 

On one of the days we climbed up the hill to the Fyrish monument.  I found myself taking loads of photos, so here are just a few.

 

I love the shapes of the trees, particularly with the dappled sunlight coming through, and this lichen was the most beautiful shade of pale green; huge clumps of it everywhere.
I'll show you more photos tomorrow!
