Sgurr Nan Gillean, Isle of Skye (1 of 5). “It seems as if Nature when she hurled the Cuillins up into the light of the sun said: ‘I will make mountains which shall be the essence of all that can be terrible in mountains. I will pack into them all the fearful shapes.'” – HV Morton
Blea Tarn, Cumbria (1 of 2). Blea Tarn is one of the most accessible Lakeland tarns, with access from a reasonably well kept road mere metres away, and a pay and display car park metres from that. Surrounded as it is by fells and forest, it still seems to retain an air of the remote however, and signs of roads and houses are largely hidden from view.

The Black Cuillin from Elgol. The small village of Elgol on the Isle of Skye, is one of my favourite places to view the Black Cuillin mountains.
Glencoe. Glencoe is a moody and atmospheric place in bad weather. On this visit, as with many others, it did not disappoint.
Sunset over North Uist. Sunset over the Hebridean island of North Uist. Taken from Niest Point on the Isle of Skye
Utah Shack. Utah is one of the most breathtaking places it's been my pleasure to visit. The altitude makes the winters much colder than you would expect at that latitude, and snow and low cloud are common throughtout the winter.
