Wonderful scene, nicely captured and processed. Very Lord of the Rings

Love the composition with the road as a leading line, mood and the dramatic lighting. Beautiful landscape. 8-)

I suppose one should fill up on petrol before driving out to capture this scene.
I'm completely amazed at random connections in life ..... I live in a sub-division in North Carolina and my street runs into "Old Glencoe Road". Before today, I had no idea where Glencoe even was, but now I want to go there!

Hello Bob, if you can see the exif the GPS is there.
Petrol?, don't you mean gas? ;-) North of Fort William is where you need to start thinking about ensuring you have plenty of fuel.

Okay, where do I start? I want to travel down that road Graham. The composition gives the viewer the feeling of traveling on that road up into the mountains. The contrast of the green, then dark rock with all the mountain mist is wonderful. You brought the contrasts out very successfully while keeping it very real. Nicely done, Graham.
And I am not always a fan of your landscape photos. As you know, I usually pick on something I don't like. Here, there is nothing to pick on.

Oh...and if I ever make it to the UK I'll definitely stop by...we'll have to give RG & Andrew a call and go photoging in the mountains. :-)
No mountains where I live Nightski, it's pancake flat as far as the eye can see, and then some :-)

I think you have nailed this one. The winding road leads your eye right to those beautiful mountains. The clouds ringing the top give me the impression of great heights. Maybe I need to plan a trip to Scotland. Beautiful!

I'm up for it! Just so long as you don't go jogging off into the distance...

This is all at or below sea level, is northern Ohio? ;-)

That made me smile when I realised that geographically speaking, "north of Fort William" is about half of Scotland. Fortunately it's only the west coast that's like that. And the good news is, there are so few petrol stations, EVERYBODY knows where they are and how to get there.
(I lived near Rugby for a while, and it wasn't long before I was hankering after the sight of a mountain or two. In fact, even a small hill would have sufficed :-) ).

I like the wee hint of a lake behind the mountains. That peek of water makes me want to travel that road and find out what is hidden back there.
It's peaceful and beautiful. There is much to look at and the eyes can wander around for a while taking it all in without getting lost or wandering off the sides. Technically it looks perfect to me.

I'm sure we could show them a few places not on the usual tourist itinerary :-)
