Indeed Francois, Skye's landscapes have that "fantasy" quality to them and the Old Man is definitely one of the most inspiring! :)

Thank you very much indeed! :) Yes, that is a very important point to me - I love this job first of all because it allows me to live in the nature, see such amazing things, and experience these scenes, landscapes, weathers... being able to photograph them, and transmit these emotions to others, is just a fantastic plus, sort of "the cherry on top" as they say!

Best regards,

Vieri

 Just wonderful Vieri!! As others have said I can see either Vikings or LOTR characters scurrying about the scene. The beams in the center background are just perfect!!
