Lovely landscape Vieri. You have imbued this image with a luminosity seems to glow.

I'm late to the party, but it's such a wonderful image I'll add my comment nevertheless. I love the contrast between the solidity of the rock and the fluffy clouds. Great shot.

One can never be too late for Vieri's party <grin>. But seriously, I am drawn back to this picture for reasons that are hard for me to describe. I think that it may have to do with you have said Jeremy -- the contrast between the rocks and clouds. There is something about those rocks that I find interesting but cannot articulate.

Very nice indeed.  One day I must stop driving past Arran on my way to the highlands and spend some time on the island.

Thank you very much everybody for your very nice comments, very much appreciated :D

@ Sean: I understand perfectly, I really love these rocks and the bed of fossil sandstone they lay on - it is something I wouldn't know how to explain with words, but something draws me to the place over and over. Perhaps is the different textures, as people said. The rocks are incredibly detailed and juxtaposing that against a smooth sky / water makes them even more interesting....

@ Phil: to me, Arran is lovely and definitely worth a stop. You need to dedicate it some time though, it is not like, say, Skye where there are landmarks to go to. Arran needs to be explored :)

Best,

Vieri
