Loch Rannoch
I had driven over 3 hours this morning to the Highland wildlife park in Kincraig near Aviemore, only to find it was closed
I was really looking forward to taking images of the Wolves there and it was a really nice day with blue sky and sunshine. There was a notice telling visitors that they decided to close the park today because of ice. Looks like I'll have to wait for warmer weather before I go back there, don't want to risk driving up there again and they close it because its too cold. Anyway, I was very very disappointed but had to find somewhere else to go and so, I got out my map and looked for places I had not been before, but not very far from where I was as it was 10.30 by this time. And so, Loch Rannoch it was.

Great stuff DJ, 3, 7 and 8 for me, but they are all great, do you ever take duff pics
Do you sell your landscapes?

Shame about the Wolf Park, I 'd love to go and observe a pack, and take a few pics too

Stuning place and stuning pic's to.
Shame about the park being closed.
I'm going up to the log cabins in Feb just after Callander.
Think it's on the banks of Loch Lumbnig.Can't wait.

Thanks for the comments everyone, much appreciated 
Thanks Moonie Yes, I think I do shoot duff images from time to time and that usually happens when not enough thought goes into what I'm trying to capture. I still see myself as a beginner with lots more to learn.
I've not sold anything yet but hopefully at some point in the future, yes, I'd love to sell some of my pics it would also help fund new equipment and travel expenses.
Thanks Pepsi Yes, in my dreams
