Thanks everyone for your interest in my journey.
Glen Etive is a very beautiful place if you take the time to explore it properly.
Next month is the best time to photograph it as the rhododendrons are in full bloom around the end of May. Here are a few more of my favourite photos of the glen taken in the past.

A slow camera shutter speed turns the waterfalls into milk
It’s the lighting that makes a good landscape photo
Sadly you cant photography the old pier anymore … its now gone
In Victorian times, people who wanted to visit Glencoe sailed on the steamer from Oban, up Loch Etive, and landed at the old pier where they were then met by stagecoach and taken through Glen Etive and into Glencoe.
One person who made that same journey was the poet William Wordsworth.
He was inspired to write a poem about his journey ..here is a verse ..
"THIS Land of Rainbows spanning glens whose walls,
Rock-built, are hung with rainbow-coloured mists--
Of far-stretched Meres whose salt flood never rests--
Of tuneful Caves and playful Waterfalls--
Of Mountains varying momently their crests—
Hope you enjoyed my tour of the glen and thanks for looking
