This view really is typical of rural Scotland. The flat lighting, the threat of rain from the clouds hanging over the hill tops, even the red corrugated iron roof of the shed. It's a lovely composition. Initially I thought about cropping off some of the grass in the foreground but I think it balances the area of sky really nicely.
It isn't necessary to have sun, blue sky and white fluffy clouds to create a really great landscape. Nice work.

A well composed shot of my home country. The small red roof on the right introduces a nice touch of colour Thank you Michael.

It's funny, because my wife and I are off to a couple of weeks hiking on Tenerife shortly, and you are so right about getting close to nature that way. And although it's a different place, what we are hoping for is exactly the kind of views and atmosphere that you have caught. A good landscape photo tells a lot about the photographers's love of nature. And one of these days we will be taking our camper back up to Scotland for some of what you convey so well in your picture. And you manage to leave a bit of mystique: Is that stonelodge inhabited or not? It's hard to tell.

A lovely, well-composed pastoral scene. My Border Collie would feel right "at home" here. ;-)

I can surely conncct with this kind of landscape. Never went there, but I think it's part of my dreams (asleep and awakened). Fine composition and colors are very natural.

Oh yes this is wonderful. I never saw this country apart on photographs, but more and more I feel like going there. Thank you for sharing Michael.

Beautiful landscape. Lovely soft colours. I like the old cottage on the left with its small windows. Good note.

Loch Lomond is a name I heard often from my Scottish immigrant family. A place I have been advised to go walking. Now I know why, this picture is very inviting.

A lovely shot, great contrast between the buildings in the foreground and the mountains to the rear. Perfect positioning, well done!
