Eilean Donan Re-Visited

[ChrisH]

As the weather was bad over the Christmas Holiday I spent time looking back into my photograph archive. I found a series of images made in June 2006 of the iconic and very beautiful Eilean Donan Castle in the West Highlands of Scotland. I took some of the original RAW files and re-edited.

Our time at the Castle was limited and photo opportunities reduced by low tide.

Your comments and suggestions will be gratefully received. Best viewed at larger size.

Nice series. I like the stories of the shots themselves as you look closely at each of them...

Very nice work Chris. I like all the shots but the first is my favourite. It has great light and the clouds and mountains provide an interesting backdrop.

I had to smile at a castle that has a dry moat at low tide - not much of a deterrant to invaders

Very good. Just one question, 'How much did you pay the piper who was on Loan from the castle.

[ChrisH]

Thanks all for your replies. Geoff great pr on behalf of Eillean donnas owner. The visitors loved the piper and the Scottish laments
