Having lived most of my childhood in the South West of England in Cornwall I find it quite ironic that after living a consequent twenty years abroad in Germany that I now have the first opportunity of touring through this magnificant countryside. I regret having not discovered the Highlands before. But sometimes you see more from a distance and so destiny had it that I must move to Germany visit Scotland it seems. Now I have realised another travel dream and must say that I was totally surprised how much more beautiful the landscape really is, a real paradise for photographers. There is probably no "best" time of year for a visit to Scotland. I think that every season has it's own beauty, my experience in March this year was quite a mixed bag. As I arrived, it was sunny and warm, then the following two days we had quite a bit of snow, after that a mixture of sun, gales, rain and sleet, sometimes all of these conditions within the same afternoon. But exactly this makes Scotland so intriguing, the constantly changing climate and light. I hope that I can convey with an assortment of varied images here, the natural beauty of the west coast of Scotland.
