Lower Reaches

Of the Dalveen Pass, The pass is known for its sweeping views, rolling green hills, and quiet driving/cycling experience. It's often praised as one of Scotland’s best driving roads, especially southbound for the long, gradual descent.

It has been an important route since ancient times, with a Roman road running through the northern end (near Durisdeer, where a Roman fortlet remains)
The area features glacial features, including a U-shaped valley, and lies near the source of the River Clyde.

HFF and a good weekend to all!

I love the variety of colours in this amazing landscape, Roger. There are so many interesting elements if the foreground that lead the eye across and up and down. All the best, Joe

Sehr schön, wenn die Sonne die grünen Hügel hervorhebt. Eine wunderbare Landschaft und die Schafe helfen mit, die Gräser zu kürzen. HFF und ein sehr angenehmes Wochenende, Roger.

Another fine Scottish scene here (although it could be many places in England too). I don't really know this side of the road from the A74M though I have just got to know the road east of Moffat. That being said I know lots of the coastal road around Ayrshire. Well done.

Thanks for sharing with our UK Landscape Photography Group , Herb
