They are not high, and they often tend to look similar, but nonetheless they have a captivating charm about them. Someday I will go back. It's just too bad the Scottish winter days are so short. I remember waking up around 8AM and seeing stars in the sky. I also remember losing the sun behind the mountains around 3PM. But during the precious hours of daylight the sun was always low and the light superb. Your photos capture the beauty of the landscape well.

Irish weather is notoriously bad, but we had disgracefully beautiful conditions! I'd gone there expecting the camera to stay in its bag, but instead... George - happy New Year! I've been watching the forecast intently, that's some snowfall you guys have had. Looking forward to hearing about it! Alistair - Athbhliain faoi mhaise duit! Let's hope it's a good one. By the way, your Gaiku are awesome, I definitely want to see more of those in 2010 :-) Vladimir - Happy new year to you too! Glad you liked the shots. OMIA - stunning, huh? We spent a few days travelling down from Shannon, and I'm kicking myself for not simply making a beeline to Killarney immediately. Next time... Tornadoes28 - Happy new year!! Hi Jason - ah, that depends. Sometimes (usually on solo trips) I think of things to write. Other times nothing happens until I'm going through the photos. And then there are times when it takes a couple of days of constant re-writes, and other times I can bash through in 30 minutes... Joe - that's kind of you to say, but sometimes you just get lucky. None of the above were processed, that's pretty much how they came out of the camera, and it really was that beautiful! Casey - happy new year! I hope 2010 is a good one for you & your new arrival! Project Hyakumeizan - it's been a great year, and thank you for all your support. More mountains, more photos, more stories in 2010! Mikael - interesting, Lapland is somewhere I'd love to explore as well... All the best for 2010! David - best wishes for 2010 to you too! I think this year is going to be a good one, just need the weather gods to be kind at at the weekends :-) Hanameizan - ake-ome, as the kids say! And I'm looking forward to your return (gently) to the hills with Hana in tow. Heather - happy new year! A little bit of the (almost) homeland for you. Actually, you're looking at about half of the Irish Monroes in that top picture. There's only 12 in total in Ireland, but I think you'll agree they put on a pretty decent showing :-) Rockie - glad you liked them. Plenty more to come in 2010...

Reminds me of Lapland in autumn, with the exception that the trees down the valleys are much smaller up there. Happy New Year! Nice!
