This is the Falls of Dochart near Killin at the western end of Loch Tay in Perthshire, central Highlands of #Scotland.
The Bridge of Dochart spans the river, built on natural stone foundations.
We spent all day there, 2 weeks ago today. A beautiful day for a drive in our EV and then a good long walk.
Jökulsárlón on a murky summer day. A blanket of mist was hanging above the waters of the glacial lagoon, but shafts of sunlight struck the higher peaks.
Hnappar, part of Öræfajökull volcano, Hornafjörður in south-eastern #Iceland.
On a drizzly day, we drove through the eastern Highlands of #Iceland towards a controversial dam. Just as we reached the walkway across it, the sun came out behind us and this gorgeous rainbow appeared.
Hafrahvammagljúfur is a majestic canyon, roughly 8 km in length. With a width of about 100 to 150m it's not the country’s widest, but its depth reaches a staggering 200m.
Landmannalaugar camp site on a showery summer day. As we were walking back to the car, the high sun at our backs created a low rainbow, seemingly very close to us.
3pm, August, Fjallabak Nature Reserve in the southern Highlands of #Iceland.
At Fellsfjara, the black sand beach between Jökulsárlón and the sea, icebergs that have been swept out from the glacial lagoon by the tide are thrown back onto the beach by the wave action.
The contrast between the volcanic sand and the chunks of glacial ice is striking, and it deserves its name of "Diamond beach."
This is lovely Lómagnúpur, one of the most recognizable mountains in #Iceland, with drapes of mist hanging around it.
These cloud formations are know as stacked lenticular and are created by strong winds.
In the Icelandic Coat of Arms there are 4 protectors, and one of them is the giant who lives in Lómagnúpur, protecting the coast from all evil.
The cold cyan of the early morning contrasts with the orange tints of the rising sun. Mist clings to the slopes of Búlandstindur, and the waters of the fjord have a fragile ice crust at the shores.
Mid-November, 10am: Berufjörður in eastern #iceland

Built in 1920 and rebuilt in 1930, this is the wonderfully tongue-twisting *Svalbarðseyrarviti. There are many such lighthouses around #Iceland, and most of them are automatic and unmanned.
This one is on the eastern shore of Eyjafjörður in north-eastern Iceland, just to the north of Akureyri.
For me, there is little that is more inspiring than opening my bedroom curtains in the early morning and being greeted by this kind of stunning beauty.
This is why I keep a camera upstairs - these moments are so fleeting, but so very rewarding.
An afternoon drive in Fjallabak, the "back mountains" in southern #Iceland. We stopped to look at Landmannahellir, a well-known cave, and our guide parked overlooking Löðmundarvatn lake.
The sheltered flanks of Löðmundur (473m/1552ft) still retained some snow, even in August.
November, 5pm: The lights of Djúpivogur docks create a highlight in an otherwise darkening scene.
Djúpavogshreppur in eastern #Iceland, with the mountains of Berufjörður beyond.
"Lord, how mine eyes throw gazes to the east!
My heart doth charge the watch; the morning rise
Doth cite each moving sense from idle rest.
Not daring trust the office of mine eyes"
Sunset in September. Queen's View, possibly named after Queen Isabella, wife of Robert the Bruce. A spectacular view over Loch Tummel to Schiehallion and beyond.
Pitlochry, Perth and Kinross, #Scotland.
This is lovely Fláajökull, the "Sloping Glacier" in south-western #Iceland.
This creeping glacier is an outlet from Vatnajökull, and reached its maximum expansion in ≈ 1894. It has receded ≈ 2 km (1.25 mi) during the last 100 years, leaving a glacial lagoon at its snout.
This was one of the first times we'd visited gorgeous Seljalandsfoss, and we discovered when we arrived that we were almost the only visitors at that time. Imagine that - the whole place to ourselves.
The little figure in a black coat on the path to the 61m/200ft falls is me!
September, Rangárþing eystra in southern #Iceland.
