Folly on the Hill

Taken at Oban, Argyll, Scotland. I love the light and the colours reflected in the water. In a prominent position above Oban stands McCaig's Tower, a folly on Battery Hill which the banker John Stuart McCaig had built as a monument to his family and also to provide work for local stonemasons. It is made from Bonawe granite sourced from Aird's Bay, Loch Ewe.

I have added 'Fool on the Hill' by the Beatles as a link

As soon as I saw the 'amphitheatre' in the background I recognized McCaig's Tower, Carol. A beautiful day in Oban.

Un parecido al exterior del coliseo romano sin destruir. La vista es muy bonita y los reflejos conseguidos magníficos, Carol.
