Just back from a long old trip with work. Life support machines are a bit too heavy for carry on luggage on the plane, so had the chance to take the car to it's "colour" home . . . .
One hell of a lighthouse !!
End of the road . . . .
Sat Nav seemed to have a mind of it's own on the way home
Seemed like a good place for a brew on the way home."To finish first, one first has to finish ...."
the grass was slippy when I took that first shot - had a moment when I realised there was not a lot between me and the waves "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

zermatt in zermatt is impossible I believe - all petrol/diesel vehicles are banned

To prevent air pollution which could obscure the town's view of the Matterhorn, the entire town is a combustion-engine car-free zone. Electric vehicles are allowed for local commerces.
All taken on a little Canon Ixus - packed in a hurry and had to leave the Nikon kit behind "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

Great photos! Wanted Stornoway Grey when we bought our D3 last year - would have made the same trip this summer but ended up buying Tonga Green. Would be a heck of a ferry trip down there

yep, the most photographed castle in Scotland and featured a lot in the first highlander film. I have some b&w photos taken during the filming on the wall in my office.
I will also be photographing it myself in the flesh in a couple of weeks time.I have something to say! It's better to burn out... than to fade away!
It was wazzing it down - took that one from the car with the window down "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

It is a great castle and only recently rebuild (well about 100 yrs ago).
I have photographed it in all conditions including it being covered in snow and late at nigh when it has
been floodlit.
Was selling a print of it on my website for a while, it was very popular with the Americans as most of the prints went to the states.I have something to say! It's better to burn out... than to fade away!

Really wanted to go to Stornoway in my 'grey' D3... but too far for us while we were staying in the Applecross area.
