Abandoned Plough near Loch Salachaidh

This piece of rusting farm equipment appears to be an old plough which, judging by the nearby scars on the moorland (not in photo), may have been used for peat cutting.

Loch Salachaidh, Sutherland

Upland scenery in the north of Britain - view east over Loch Salachaidh towards the hill Beinn Lunndaidh (446 m, 1463 ft). The green hull of an abandoned rowing boat is just visible among the heather on the opposite shore. The Loch is around 180 m (590 ft) above sea level. Surprisingly, the Gaelic 'Salachaidh' translates - according to local sources - to something like dirty water.

Aurora Borealis in Sutherland, UK

View of the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) at Farlary in Sutherland. Photos of the aurora are rarely, if ever, faithful to the true appearance of the phenomena as it would be seen by the naked eye. The vividness and brightness of the colours tend to be enhanced by digital cameras, whilst the subtle fluorescent 'presence' is lost. This photo (to which some slight digital sharpening has also been applied) is no exception, and whilst it does slightly exaggerate some aspects, it does not in my opinion overstate the beauty of this stunning display.
