Some of what I saw on the way to Oban today

I went to Oban today to visit a friend in the hospital there. I stopped a few times along the way and back to take in Scotland's beauty.

A little piece of Loch Awe on a soft grey morning

Awesome reflections in the still waters of the River Awe above the Awe Barrage

Turning to go back to the car, I spotted these burrs

Winter bramble leaf colours

The turbulent waters below the barrage and some reflected orange light

A wee island on Loch Etive catching the light for a moment on the way there

And on the way back, light and shadows

Late afternoon winter light on Loch Etive
