Thank you Eric, I really enjoyed taking them, I have been to Skye before but never explored 'in depth'. There are many places I would like to revisit, Particularly Glen Brittle and Talisker Bay, which I didn't have time to explore properly.

There are many nooks and crannies down back lanes which are well worth exploring but after 5 days driving, exploring and photographing I was worn out. Christopher was getting difficult and perhaps a bit bored, so I decided to stop and come back home to see what I have...

I am delighted with the D3, I am still getting used to it and I am beginning to know what lens I need for a particular subject. I took the 55 Micro, maybe I should have used it instead of the 50 f1.4 for some shots. The 105 Micro is a dream lens, it pairs beautifully with the D3. I think it may be one of my most used lenses from now on.

I could do with a medium zoom lens to pair with the 18-35mm f3.5-4.5 from about 30 to say 80 or 90, to cover that mid range, needn't be an f2.8, something slower would be fine.

This is the scene on the path to the Glen Brittle waterfalls. It was quieting off by then. Finding a parking place was difficult to say the least. As we drove into the car par one couple told us there were no spaces, well since I was already committed with two cars behind me I kept going. There was a space that no sensible person would have used... on the edge of a precipice with mud up to the axles. I took it.

This is the path down to the waterfalls:
