Photographer's Note
View from the old arches bridge in Sligachan, opposite direction to the view shown on this picture.
Several legends are told about the place, and it is a custom to throw a penny into the water. The fairies will collect the coins…
Another myth is about two women fought around this ground’s, and water from river Saligachan brought by the daughter of the one defeated, made her regain an “eternal beauty”, … the water are ice cold.
The view of red Cuillin mountains ridge is on the far side background. On the WS is the perfect cone shape of the Glamaig mountain, rising to the east of the bridge.
57.2898, -6.1734 on the map.

Hello Ike,
This excellent composition shows a beautiful scenery, but to me it is above all a matter of colours. But I also like the grey and green diagonal on the left side and of course the people watching the view, including the blue person below the road. It's in every way a very nice photo.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Ike,
Wow, what a landscape, it is so beautiful with some many wonderful and attractive colours, even on a cloudy and foggy day. The composition is perfect too, the bridge is nicely diagonally included in the foreground.

Impressive highland landscape, Ike. I wonder if you could have managed to avoid the people in the shot (except that one walker down below, of course). I think it might have been even better then, but then again this is the way it is.
Cheers

Hello Ike ,
What a stunning view from the bridge . The little wood and its few houses looks like an island in this fascinating wild landscape . Wild ... but a lot of tourists to capture the scene ;)
The mountain in the WS is splendid , too .

Hello Ike,
Good sharpness and the stream provides a horizontal counterbalance to the diagonal stone fence along the bridge. I like the soft, diffused light and pastel colors. The people animate the scene and provide scale. Tfs!

Hello Ike,
Wonderful use of the stone wall as a feature, as a separation line and as a guide.
The photographer is strongly placed and becomes our guide to the attractive, autumnal landscape and its surrounding curve of hills.
Scotland is a wonderful source of beautiful scenes and you went just at the right time!
Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hello Ike,
The mountain is a nice picture, but your main picture is wonderful.
A beautiful panorama with the castle between the green area.
Also the river in the triangle is nice taken.
Sharpness and clarity are perfect done.
Very well done, TFS.
Best regards,
John.

Hello Ike
Beautiful combination of a fascinating landscape and human interest. Rather a cold and grey day, but that isn’t an exception in Scotland.
Well done

Hello Ike,
Possibly, therefore, the British never wanted to join the eurozone. They need penny's to throw in the water :)
OK, bad joke.
I'm always a bit surprised to see those brown tones of the vegetation in the landscape. I have the wrong idea that Scotland looks fresh green year-round.
Remarkable is that there are few trees to be found (but I knew that) but on this picture we see many trees standing close together.
This seems to be a spot where many visitors go to enjoy the beautiful views.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Ike,
beautiful spot with characteristic brown color of the vegetation at this time of the year here. It appears so colorful, and the hills are nicely covered with a bit of fog which leaves no doubt it is autumn.
Nice idea to include the photographers in the left, it adds a nice perspective to the image.
Beautiful reportage from your trip,
M

Hi Ike
I take it you threw in a penny as well? As long as fish don't eat them :)
this is just SO Scottish isn't it! Its got that typical Scottish landscape where when you go walking around its best to have Rubber boots on up to the knees because that grass is soaking wet and you'll sink 2 or 3 inches deep into it haha.
nice historic story to go along with your scene, and again loving the atmosphere and mood here. cheers

I imagine this place is very cold, windy and dark all year round.nice this view with the tourists at side and the houses protected by the trees. I liked the mountains and the contrast of the stones with the golden herbs.

Ike, the moor takes orange hues in autumn. That old bridge in stone is crossing a river. The landscape of hills and low vegetation is magnificent in the background. The oceanic climate must be humid and windy in that place. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.
