Capital of the Highlands aglow tonight:):)

Highland dawn:)

Highlands in its winter cloak:)

Highland sunset before the next blizzard:) Happy New Year 2026

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago. His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship." He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

Life in the highlands. When you plan an early kiddy bedtime but they look out the back door and spot lights in the sky and understandably demand a late night Aurora hunt up the hill…

Gentle aurora over a super still midnight seascape far north of Scottish Highlands

Winter whites, highlands

Meanwhile in the Highlands:)

Fire and festival

A wee highland burn lit by sunrise and it’s many reflections off the crystalline dusting of the morning snowfall

Alpine grandeur

Blue skies of the north highlands

Meanwhile on a beach somewhere in the Highlands:)

It’s getting late said the day, I know said the season.

The Alps at their moody early evening best:)

Highland wandering:)

The Watcher…

A warm bright sunrise seen from a cool dark place halfway up a cliff:)

If this kind of view fills you with a sense of adventure and possibilities, wandering the Highlands might be for you:)

Highland water windows:)

Sunrise in the Highlands of Scotland

Natural temple of Roque Nublo atop Gran Canaria’s central massif

Light and life in Highland woodland:)

The near endless horizons of the north of Scotland:)

Slioch wearing her crown of cloud:)

This looming woodland wizard seemed to bear down on the lens even more so in monochrome so he is rendered here as colourless as he felt on the day of capture. A lurking giant deep in Culloden woods…:) #scottishhighlands #trees #nature #highlands #b&w #scotland #highlander

Fire and ice always make for the best photographic cocktails when it comes to highland landscapes I reckon:) #scottishhighlands #landscapephotography #highlands #scotland #highlander

Home turf…The Great Glen’s great watering hole. Loch Ness is essentially one perfect wind tunnel sending the rage of the North Atlantic into Inverness so shiny moments like these always worth capturing…:) #scottishhighlands #landscapephotography #highlands #lochness #scotland #highlander #nessie

The river Averon, a stream that courses past castle and town, field and forest to empty into the utterly surreal Cromarty Firth (if you’ve been you know why!) #scottishhighlands #landscapephotography #highlands #nc500 #munros #scotland #highlander

Defo in my top ten of munros that aren’t munro’s but totally should be munros…:) Royal Loyal:) #naturelovers #greatoutdoors #justgoshoot #scottishhighlands #scotlandtravel

The Highlands and Islands at their #bluesky best:) #scottishhighlands #landscapephotography #highlands #nc500 #munros #scotland

Beautiful Torridon:) #scottishhighlands #landscapephotography #highlands #nc500 #munros #scotland

And now a few different ones… #visitscotland #hiddenscotland #highlandsofscotland

A very highlands of Scotland type of view:)

Not a breath of wind. Not one break in the stillness. Except the midgies, obviously.

A forest within a forest. Change of perspective shot:)

A more serene end to a day in the Higjlands I struggle to imagine:)

Clear skies and even clearer air:) The North Highlands at their stunning best:)

The highlands of Timanfaya:):)

That this is a real place can never ever be allowed to become a mundane or uninteresting fact.

They must have been up all night working on this one. What an effort!

Love it when the Highlands intentionally put on their Scottish colours…:)

A favourite round our way…:)

Just reflecting on a few things

When volcanoes chill out for a bit..

Islands in the calm (lake wanaka a dusk)

A lone light:)

Welcome to the woods:)
