As the sun sets, colourful clouds seem to play with the iconic Watchman mountain that rises high above the Virgin River.

Glen Brittle is a glen along the River Brittle on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Many streams, running down from the Cuillin mountain area, tribute to the river. One of those streams contains a series of small waterfalls and natural pools. These are called the "Fairy Pools".

My summer holidays have almost come to an end, it's back to work again tomorrow. We're back from a great holiday in Scotland and of course I took a few pictures. It will take some processing time, but I'll share some photos on Facebook in the next couple of days.As an appetiser, here's a panorama shot of Loch Lomond just after sunset. It's stitched from 5 portrait photos.

During our Scotland holiday this summer we only spent one night along Loch Lomond in the south of Scotland. But for me as a landscape photographer it was a fantastic evening.This photo showing the sunset was taken at the same location as the panorama posted earlier this week.Lot's of drama in the sky, nicely lit by the last rays of sunlight. Man, I just kept shooting! Again, a lot of midges were trying to make me mad but with such scenes I couldn't be bothered too much.

The water of Lake Louise has an emerald colour which comes from rock flour carried into the lake by melt-water from the glaciers that overlook the lake.
The view from above can be reached by a nice, not too strenuous hike. Do mind the weather though, on the way back we really got soaked in a heavy thunderstorm.
