Photo of the Day – 15 October 2016: Glen Etive Tree

This is one of the last photos which I took on my recent trip to Scotland.  I briefly diverted from the route home to take the road down Glen Etive where I had been a couple of days earlier.  Conditions were not quite so good as on the previous occasion as it was raining and I needed to scramble on some rocks by a waterfall to get this shot.  I do not find it easy on uneven surfaces at the best of times, let alone when they are wet.

Overall, it was an excellent trip and I have returned with several images with which I am pleased.  I have shown some of them on the blog, but there are others which I am planning to include in a later post.  A busy few days, maybe, and certainly a lot of driving, but definitely worth the effort.

This post is part of my occasional “Photo of the Day” series when I publish any shots which I think might be of interest and tell the story behind them.  They might not necessarily be portfolio standard images, nor the final version, but still be of sufficient interest for inclusion in my blog.  If I do not show a shot on any given day, it does not mean that I did not take any photographs, just that I did not get anything worthwhile.  For me, that is part of the fun of photography, not knowing what you will find on a shoot when nothing is planned.
