Hello againThe "far north" has a bad rap among people living further south. Well, if the following images can't redress that imbalance a wee bit...
We've had a couple of glorious days here in Oban and on the West Coast. Freezing cold, though (and I understand road conditions up and down the coast have been rather hairy. As I try to live a car-free life, it has not affected me but some of my friends have had to deal with the aftermath of accidents -- luckily only in the form of delays, detours, missed appointments, meetings and such).
Saturday saw me out and about, casting my "net" for some light-filled images. Here's my catch of the day:
Click on the photos above to see the snow-dusted hills and mountains to the north of Oban.
It was a still day, very peaceful out along the north shore of Oban, with the water lapping lazily about the bladderwrack exposed by the low tide.
Later I cycled up the glen to capture the last rays of the sun. I missed them, but the afterglow was just as stunning, and well in keeping with my mood:

See you again very soon, I hope.

Pouring again over Habermas and his American critics, I felt a sudden need for a quick change of ideas (actually, I couldn't join our Reading Circle this evening because of my immense volume of university work, but that is what made me think of you). Congratulations on your outstanding photos! That way you literally generate an appetite to see for oneself what that beautiful area looks like...
How are you? Do you still feel that you made a good decision by moving to Oban?
Big hugs, P.B.
I see from your website that you live in Oban - what a lovely part of the world, I have often visited the Isle of Mull and Lochgilphead, and I also make frequent trips to north east Scotland where my mother lives. I have also recently relocated - to rural Northumberland.

Thank you, P and C, for your comments. I'm always happy to receive feedback, especially when it's as positive as this.
I should get some funding from the Scottish Tourist Board for all the promo I'm doing... ;)
I hope you're happy in rural Northumberland, C! and may Habermas & Co give you much satisfaction, P.
