Scotlands Highlands and Outer Islands

This gallery is composed of pictures taken in the northern highlands and outer Orkney Islands of Scotland in May 2011. May is a predicted fair weather month but as is generally true, only fools should believe weather predictions. We had 12 days of rain often with high winds and what is called infrequent “bright periods”. In spite of the challenge there were some great photo opportunities and on occasion I go an acceptable image. I hope you enjoy this photo gallery and you don’t need rain gear to view it!

Photos were taken with Canon Rebel T3i using a Cannon 100-400mm zoom L type lens or a Tamron 18-270 mm lens.
