Sgwd yr Eira in spate in the Bannau Brycheiniog / Brecon Beacons national park, #Wales. Take waterproofs if water is high as the path goes behind it (see next post) to cross the river! #WaterfallWednesday #photography #scape #landscape #waterfall #rainbow #river #EastCoastKin

Not the best photo, but an impressive tree. Near Strontian, Ardnamurchan, #Scotland. #ThickTrunkTuesday #photography #nature #trees #forest #EastCoastKin

Ben Lui from the summit cairn on Ben Oss. (A few years ago). Near Tyndrum, #Scotland. Absolutely great day linking three peaks above cloud in the glens. #MountainMonday #BlueSkyMonday #mountains #mountaineering #winter #snow #landscape #scape #photography #EastCoastKin

Ben Nevis in #winter and #summer, from different places on the north face approach path (a very photogenic approach but serious ground in the corrie). Every Scottish mountain gives two very different experiences in a year. #stunday #Scotland #mountains #photography #scape #landscape #EastCoastKin

I've never quite known what to make of this photo. I've never seen a sky quite like it, and the photo doesn't do it justice. But #BlueSkyArtShow #sky. It was a very cool colour combination in person! #photography #sunset #landscape #scape #clouds #EastCoastKin

Scots pine. The resilience of trees always impresses - it's a key life skill when 'moving away' is not a life strategy. #ThickTrunkTuesday #Scotland #photography #trees #forest #nature #autumn #landscape #scape #EastCoastKin

Looking north from Ben Ledi, above an inversion at sunset. About this time of year, a few years ago. #Scotland #MountainMonday #mountains #mountaineering #landscape #scape #nature #cloud #inversion #sunset #EastCoastKin

Survivor. This solitary Scots pine on the hillside shows how much many upland areas in the British Isles have been depleted - and what they could be again. #Scotland #ThickTrunkTuesday #trees #mountains #landscape #photography

A very Scottish winter view for #MountainMonday. Looking out from 'the Window' (a narrow pass between summits) at Creag Meagaidh in late winter / early spring a few years ago. #Scotland #photography #mountains #mountaineering #BlueSkyMonday #EastCoastKin

In the woods near Strontian, Ardnamurchan, #Scotland this spring - this contortionist seems a worthy entrant for #ThickTrunkTuesday. #Trees carry their earlier life decisions in their subsequent shape, but it's hard to imagine what those early influences were here. #photography #forest
