I love to walk in the winter light. I love the way the sun transforms things by glancing rather than illuminating. . .
. . . making long shadows.
Light brings the landscape back to life in the declining part of the year.
In the winter light, you can appreciate the truly heroic form of trees. . .
. . . and those of lone fishermen.
. . . enjoy the colour of a cow’s russet pelt . . .
. . . and crows against the quiet fire of an early evening sky.
Gorgeous, gorgeous snaps–there is much to love about a winter lanscape, with or without snow.
BTW, I asked my mom about the Archers, and she said that as a Horrobin she has always had a special interest;)
lovely shots! :)
….can’t wait to be back in Scotland and these images make me even more excited!
Kate, your photos always make my day better.
You Romanticist, you.
thank you for the window on wonder
Beautiful pictures and beautiful words.
Lovely pictures. I love the slight touch of soft focus on the moving grasses, the gentle light. Gorgeous!
Such beautiful photos. If you take out the trees, it looks almost identical to Iceland!
Oh Scotland is so beautiful. thanks Kate.
Such beautiful pictures! This is why I love Scotland so much! Can I ask why kind of camera you use?

Beautiful land, beautiful photos — especially the first one.
You’ve captured winters light perfectly.
So beautiful – thank you for sharing. That winter light is calling me back; it’s been too long.
Hurrah – some much needed joy and beauty on a very grey Monday morning.
As always your photographs are stunning. Looking at them I felt as if I was there – thank you.
It seems you must be feeling better, I hope so! Great Photos.

Stunning photography, as always.
Bonjour,
Your pictures are sooooooooo beautiful!!! You are very créative and your work is unique. Bravo!
I look to all the blog and I think you are very lucky to live in this splendide nature.
Mmm, makes me want to go for a walk in the Pentlands with my camera.
Gorgeous photographs x
Vivid photos, I enjoyed them so much, the depth of color. I have never seen a cow like that. The shadows looked like they belong to giants. What a wonderful post.
great pictures
Oh, the Pentlands! What lovely photographs – it’s been a long time since I lived in Edinburgh but I’ve got a little ‘homesick ache’ now.
Beautiful.
Truly spectacular photos.

How beautiful! What a lovely place to live – you’re quite fortunate!
Oh, these photos, Kate. They make me think I am actually there, feeling what I am seeing. And grinning, the long shadows are great!
