Reflection - Glen Shiel

[Dave (Isle of Skye)]

Driving home yesterday, I was on my way through Glen Shiel (link to historical info here for those interested - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Shiel) and saw this reflection in the Glen Shiel river. The rock face in the background is "Sgurr na Ciste Duibhe" which I haven't got a clue how to pronounce yet - but never the less, very pretty, very scenic and a hugely photographic area.

All you are looking at here is water and the reflection on it and nothing else, hence the rippled dreamy in and out of focus effect on the tree, the branches and the Glen wall behind.

Very nice!

I really like this one.

Sweet.  That's one I'd like to see up close.  Just the right degree of abstraction and literal detail to be fascinating.

... "Sgurr na Ciste Duibhe" which I haven't got a clue how to pronounce yet ...

Sgurr na kish-ta dee-ya - means 'Peak of the dark chest/coffin'

Hi Bill,

Thanks for that, you really know your stuff Bill, have you lived up here or travelled around here?

I have quite a few other reflections that I have already gathered in the time I have been here, from Lochs mainly. But today I am off to Coral Beach, to have a go at things like starfish and close-up images of detail, the weather is bright but cold and clear, so see you later...

I'm a mountaineer, and spent more than enough time poring over maps, wondering at how the bloody hell you pronounce some of these things. Fortunately I know a couple of tame Scotsmen who'll help out with the pronunciation.

Lovely (forgive the term) 'watercolour' effect!
