Another day in the mountains

delishtreats 5 years ago

Great photos! I like those dramatic skies. I wouldn't probably go hiking in such weather and I admire you for going. It's also nice that you met fellow hikers. It's always good to walk with someone.

You were lucky with the storm then. Last week I also escaped a storm and when I closed the door of the apartment it started to rain heavily :) It such a nice feeling to be inside when this happens.

Thank you for sharing! It was nice to follow you on your hike :)

@highlandwalker,
A photo oriented blog, the snaps gives the feeling of an entirely different place that looks like no human inhabitation around. Someof the snaps really gives the feel of a lonely place with the clouds, the pond and the far away mountains. Unless it read that it is 3000 ft hiking which you mentioned in the beginning, no one will realize it is that much of a peak. Infact in my state there is few places that looks like exactly like this that I may post as a blog later

I have a suggestion though, the photos are good especially the first three or four and you could use some simple photo editor tools to make it more colorful so that the rest of the photos might be more effective. Just try it.

Anyhow overall it is a great blog..

Scottish mountains are only 3000 4000 feet which is not high but what makes them tricky to climb is the weather and they are in vast and remote places. I can't remember using any filters as I am not good with photography just have little compact camera but I have noticed that if I get some sun the photos look much better.

This it is evident from the snaps. The 3000 to 4000 feet mountain is also looks and really huge is it and the remote locations makes it all the more interesting too. Do people goes there alone or in groups and how you people will reach the base.

Scotland is wonderful place is it? That is what I heard from or read from. This Brittex issue is also related to Scotland, Is it?

Close to my place, a tourist location with some lovely climate and hills is there known by Scotland of India, now I am remembering it.

Regarding the editing, simple editing techniques are there in smartphones and in laptops. You open the picture editor in phone. In that you can do cropping, add colours and adjust the brightness and even you can make it to black and white, sepia etc. Just check it, if you couldn t I am happy to help you for sure..

have a great day friend...

I would love to visit India and Nepal especially to see where Buddha was born and see the Bodhi tree. The fact that there are many vegetarians living in India makes me also very happy. I sometimes go on my own and sometimes manage to find some walking buddies mainly from the ladies mountaineering FB page. I followed you and liked some of your latest photos.

Thats a good news to hear, especially when one hears about Sri Budha from someone living far away like you. The vegetarian category is predominant here and also you must be aware about the fact that many people are spiritually on the positive side too.. You could visit many famous religious place too that from the limited interaction here I could sense that you might be interested.

Solo travelling is fun and it gives you freedom to chose what to do and how to do. Thanks for following me and lets keep connected through here.

Nice to meet you here and don't drop the idea of a visit to India

Yes, definitely I am very keen to see all the religious places in India. I am very much spiritually connected with philosophies that cultivate harmony and compassion for people, animals, and our interconnected planet through more holistic rather than individualistic approach, hence my engagement in Buddhism. Stay in touch friend.

That's great to hear. From your first blog and the replies I guessed that you are a spiritually interested person, the reason I categorically mentioned it.

You should definitely come to India as you could explore all these places across the country. I really appreciates your way of thinking and I think it is not that common find such people in steemit here.

Happy to meet your here. Have a nice day. Stay Connected

I also have a panic to the heights, it's a tickle every time I look at the floor from on high, but yes, little by little fear is fought

hi @highlandwalker
beautiful post !! I love Scotland but I've never trekked in its mountains, maybe next time I'll do it. I'm not an expert hiker but I love the mountain trails, the smell of grass, the green, the woods ... I wanted my family to devote more time to mountain trips when I was little, so that now I could be a "expert" of trekking and camping !! but it is not so ... but in our travels when we can always go for a walk, we like to put ourselves to the test with nature and become one with it !! you are really lucky to live there !! beautiful photos, scotland I remember it just like that :-))

wow you went alone? no fear of thunder girl. Hmm nice way of challenging oneself. I like when you mention that you are privileged to live in Scotland, like the fact that you appreciate it. Really enjoyed Scotland's hill beauty here and when the moist\cloud just came up busting and then you met a group on your way down. I was there with you in step by step up and down and then till the car. Thank you for sharing this and congrats on your curie vote :):)

I have only been living in Scotland for 6 years and maybe that is why I appreciate the beauty of it more than some folks who been here all their lives. I saw you are from India as I followed you and liked some of your posts. I would love to visit India and Nepal. I heard lots of people there are vegetarian? I would like to see where Buddha was born and see the bodhi tree.

Oh yeah I see that might be the reason you appreciate you being in Scotland :)
Oh yes India is full of variety of everything - must visit once. Nepal is a bit peaceful, India can be a wild experience for you if you come unprepared. :P :)

Incredible pictures. It must feel weird to be back in a car after having been in these glorious mountains.
Those rock formations, the ones that look like tiles, are so amazing. They look like ice that have broken and slide down a slope.
I am intrigued about a word: "most", is it like mist?
WHat was the temperature like? It looks sunny and fresh, but in some images it looks like it is still cold

0.00 BPC

highlandwalker 5 years ago

Yes it was supposed to be mist my spell check always changes the words for me 😀
The temperature changes all the time it feels like it is 30 degrees when the sun shines and the wind stops when you climbing a steep slope and then it's below zero when the wind rain or mist come on the ridge and it can all happen within a short period of time so you land up taking the layers on and off yourself constantly
