Scotland on May 2008

May 24, 2008

On May of 2008 I went to Scotland just before to leave England and come back to Spain for future plans. This was one of my last chances to visit Scotland. I knew that, this region, this country, wouldn’t disappoint me.

Lost Valley at Glen Coe (Southern Highlands)
This was one of my long up walks in Glen Coe, after a tired walk, you can get a true lost valley between these mountains. No words…

You could see last winter defrosting yet.

It’s amazing the colors and the huge size of these mountains.

    Hi greg,

    First of all thank you very much!!! Scotland is impressive!

    I’m really glad to know that a greeder likes my photos of Scottish Cattle, they are gorgeous with that fur!

    Those photos are my best shots in Scotland, but in january of next year I’m going to New Zealand for a month and I’ll be pleased to take lots of photos of your Cattles and give you so much as you want.

    See you soon!

    Roger.
