Been off SM for a bit, so have missed loads of posts and photos.

Hope you are all doing nicely despite the ongoing general grimness of so much.

And here are some pics of Torridon slow worm, first one I've ever seen.

A colour photo of slow worm basking in sun at the edge of small patch of trees. It has a coppery brown textured skin with a sheen of light to it. Annat, Torridon, Wester Ross, Scotland.

The village of Torridon in Wester Ross seen from the south over the tip of Upper Loch Torridon, with the awe-inspiring bulk of Liathach rising to a height of over 1,000m immediately behind it. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/torridon/torridon/index.html

Torridon in Wester Ross. The image shows a view over stony beach in the foreground with the tide out but a little water visible on the left. Beyond it is a distant line of white buildings stretching across the frame with, above it, the huge bulk of a mountain reaching up towards the top of the frame. The summit ridge has lines of snow leading up to it in gullies. The scene is in sunlight.

The magnificent ridge of Beinn Alligin in Wester Ross, seen from the south across Upper Loch Torridon. It is the most westerly of the three great mountain masses of Torridon, the other two being Liathach and Beinn Eighe.

Beinn Alligin in Wester Ross. The image shows a view over a loch to high mountains that rise to three connected peaks. There are small patches of snow on near two of the summits. In the foreground is the rocky near side of the loch. The mountains are in sunlight.

A moody shot of Sàil Mhòr in Torridon, taken on a rainy day in 2014.

If I remember correctly that was the day I had to wring my socks out when we got back to the car park from the very soggy walk – much to the amusement of some tourists watching us from the shelter of their cars.

B&W image of clouds partially covering two prominent mountain peaks, with a sharp gap between them. In the gap, a flood of scree spills out covering most of the foreground of the photo. The sky is grey, in what is likely a rainy day.

I have a treat for you...

My new portfolio featuring Torridon and Applecross in the Scottish Highlands is now live! https://www.iancylkowski.com/the-scottish-highlands/torridon-applecross 👍

These photos taken all the way back in October 2016, when I was still using a Nikon D7000. I've only ever been to this part of the Scottish Highlands once, and I YEARN to go back again.

A serene highland scene showing a small, multi-tiered waterfall cascading over dark, rocky steps in bright sunlight, with a steep, grass-covered mountain rising behind it and a clear blue sky above, creating a striking contrast between the rushing white water in the foreground and the golden-lit slopes of the Applecross Peninsula in the distance.

A tranquil Highland scene with large, weathered boulders in the foreground bearing patches of moss and lichen, leading to the mirror-like surface of Loch Clair reflecting the imposing peak of Liathach rising beneath a bright blue sky, with the surrounding slopes tinged in muted autumnal shades that accentuate the stillness of the water.

A sweeping view from a grassy shoreline dotted with large, weathered rocks and a lone, wind-bent tree in the foreground, leading across the still waters of Loch Maree towards the imposing silhouette of Slioch, its rugged slopes rising against a muted sky, with the surrounding landscape tinged with warm, rusty hues that reflect the raw beauty of the Scottish Highlands.

A dramatic mountain vista captured from a high ridge, with steep cliffs plunging into a broad, winding valley below where two small lochans nestle among golden-brown moorland and rugged slopes, all framed by a hazy, layered backdrop of distant peaks under a subdued, overcast sky.

Skylight.

Portentous clouds that came to nothing, thankfully.

A black and white photo of dark and textured clouds looming above Beinn Alligin and the western edge of Liathach. Torridon, Wester Ross, Scottish Highlands.

The view from our lunch spot in Coire Mhic Fhearchair.

Nothing I've seen online prepares you for the grandeur of the place. For me, it's not just the lochan, the triple buttress, the surprise view, or the remoteness. It's everything....
