I have many different photographs taken at different times and it never fails to amaze me.

I made it back! I couldn't believe my luck! Just like I mentioned before, sometimes the conditions just aren't right the first time. This is the photograph I set out to capture, and this is the result! I just knew I had to go back. 

Although I have photographed this location many times, It will never disappoint me. Glencoe is just fabulous, from it's eery history to its stunning scenery... I will continue photographing this magical location!
