Clachan Bridge I, which links the mainland to the island of Seil and is also known as the Bridge over the Atlantic, Argyll, Scotland.
“Sod work, looks like it will be the last decent day in a while.” says a kayaker zipping up his wetsuit at Clachan Bridge. He’s right, but today is magic for photography with golden autumn light, clear and cold so telephoto shots are sharp without any heat haze softening the image.

I’m taking it gently as it’s my first day walking with a backpack after the stress response injury nine weeks ago. As the day progresses I forget about my leg for longer and longer intervals. It’s also much easier to navigate over the off-trail sections now the heather has died back.

It was hard to tear myself away from this view.

Thank you so much. Such rugged beauty. Made my morning to look at your pictures and try to imagine what it must have been like to have been there. Makes me hope to visit Scotland. some day though I think I wouldn’t have a clue how to pronounce half the place names.

Stunning bridge isn’t it. Yes this was back in November and I’ve since done 30 days walking including a winter ascent if Ben Nevis without the injury reoccuring so fingers crossed. I’ve switched from trial shoes to leather boots which is helping in this terrain.
