Fort William on Loch Linnhe

Fort William, the gateway to the UK’s highest peak ‘Ben Nevis’ has a lot to offer the traveller. On the shores of Loch Linnhe to the west and the mountain of Ben Nevis to the east, few people cannot be awed by its splendours. Glen Nevis valley, home to Steall Falls and the nearby Nevis Range Mountain Resort has ski runs and forest trails. In the town centre, the West Highland Museum focused on regional life and history. To the northeast, Ben Nevis Distillery explores whisky production. Just out of town is the impressive Caledonian Canal entrance and Neptune's Staircase with the splendid Glenfinnan viaduct just a little further north west..
For us, to see it in this weather is almost a miracle as it is known to be one of the wettest towns in the UK.. PiP

As you know David, I imagine maybe my photos are not good enough and so I try to make up for them in word bluff (˚◡˚) . Great that you have enjoyed it and it continues to be my pleasure to share in your Landscape group.

Cheers. Herb

A nice pov, Herb! Interesting to know that the highest peak in the UK is only 1.345m high.

Herb Riddle replied to Stephan Fey:

Indeed, that is right re the height. Our mountains are not high compared with the Alps etc but this can be a challenging scramble to the to. A lot of people have died on this mountain. Glad you liked this.

Best Wishes. Herb

An excellent low PoV made more interesting by the rocks and seaweed at low tide!

Glad you liked it Gudrun. Such low tidal P.O.V's always make for a nicer scene.

I love your composition here Herb........the low point of view has provided such wonderful foreground interest. I really like the hilly landscape either side of the frame and I love the blue sky and cloud formations.

You've gained a bit of reputation for making it rain when you go on holiday, so this is all the more impressive :-)))

I like the view of Ben Nevis in the PiP as well.

Enjoy the rest of the day my friend. Regards, Keith :-)

Herb Riddle replied to Keith Burton:

Hi Keith. Another here to please your appetite for such things.
Oh dear, methinks I have maybe overdone the wet weather excursions part of my life here but I tell no lies! My moody wet and dark weather shots, in many cases enhances the scenes they depict I think too. - This scene, like many others I have done like it, always benefits from a low viewpoint and I must admit this almost clear blue sky helped a lot. Glad you liked the PiP. Tomorrow I will post a better view of Ben Nevis.

Best Wishes. Herb
