From the recent Archives 1

A few months ago I had to replace the main computer and have only recently got around to loading my images from the back up and that's when I realised how many unused images I had. I therefore intend to tidy them up and post some, probably every Monday,
The first offering is a shot of Eilean Donan Castle from autumn 2017,

The castle sits at the confluence of of three lochs, Loch Alsh, Loch Duice and Loch Long and was connected to mainland by a footbridge early in the 20th century.

Large for the detail please.

I love your perspective here Roger. I have a couple of images of this place on IP, but I never found this viewpoint.

The beautiful diffused light has brought out the beginnings of the autumn colours in the landscape. The castle is well placed in the frame and nicely detailed. I love the calm waters too. The misty mountain makes a lovely backdrop.

Looking forward to seeing some more of your archived photos!

A terrific shot Roger and taken from a viewpoint you don't see very often. The atmosphere is wonderful and I love the soft, hazy light - it adds romance to an already enchanting image

Terrific view Roger, If the footbridge was only recently built, Imagine the logistics required to get the materials across to build the castle in the first place

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to HappySnapper

Hello Maurice many thanks, I guess most of the early build materials came in by boat and that was only the start of the hard graft.

Excellent capture of a fine view Roger, I'm being fanciful here. but there's something about the approaching mist that's a wee bit disturbing. Very atmospheric!

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to MaggsMep ^club

Many thanks Maggs, it was the back end of September and evening mist was prevalent most evenings and was as you say quite atmospheric especially just after the sun had set,

I have found this viewpoint on one occasion in 1983 and did take a photo in torrential rain. I still printed it large and you make me want to search for it. looking at this photo must feel like a finding a little lost gem, I love it.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to Colin Ashcroft ^club

Thank you for the interesting comments Colin, I'm hoping the trees have been cut back a little because last visit they were really overtaking the view.

Colin Ashcroft ^club has replied to Roger (Grisly) ^club

I have failed to find the photo so far. I must have discarded the very dark print but I will still have the original slide. The trees were much lower in my photo from memory. i will find it tomorrow.
