With Mark and Bret's recent trips (and Al's a short while back) I thought I'd open up general all comers for personal images of some of their favourite places or somewhere you've loved visiting...
Scotland...
This is Glen Afric (the pic of the stag was a pure chance) which was the ancestral home of the Chisum (John Chisum) Clan and from here began the "Chisum Trail..." there is still a few patches of snow on the hills in August...
My problem is I am eternally drawn to the Sea... the lighthouse is at a place known as the Butt of Lewis - North from here you can go straight to Antarctica without hitting any other land (if you aim carefully
) - the other shot is looking across a bay known as Loch-a-Tuath which literally translates as North Loch but is known in English as Broad Bay, in the foreground is my maternal homelands and the slither of land in the distance is my paternal homelands... this was taken at about 10PM (11PM GMT) in August... for me, travelling to the Island is a 672 mile and 2 3/4 hr ferry trip... it can be described as a bleak and barren due to the clearances and the sheep, but to me it is a place of great beauty...
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... what are your special places...? the ones that tug at the heartstrings are not always where we call home...
